Albert, I am continually impressed by just how old you are. Got any Zeppelins bombing Kent?

Do you want them in colour or boring b/w? Experience overcomes jealousy! 😉

These whipper-snappers haven’t lived! Battersea 1960.

I still think thats a good idea even today 🙂

Excellent stuff – never seen a shot of the Rotodyne flying before.

Vulcan XA911 was apparently a film star, featuring in the V-force film “Delta 83”. After serving in 83 Sqn and 230 OCU, she was withdrawn from use on 9 February 1967 and sold for scrap on 8 November 1968.

After its first flight in November 1957, the 1958 SBAC Show would have been the Rotodyne’s first appearance there. I was just guessing that the two pictures came from the same batch!

I think the Belvedere carrying a Bloodhound missile was probably taken at the SBAC Show at Farnborough in 1960. Note the spats on the rear wheels.
The Fairey Rotodyne picture was probably taken at the same Show.

You might be right about the Belvedere, the print has a kodak stamp dated 1960 but the Rotodyne is stamped 1958.

Avro Lincoln RF533

I think the Lincoln is very probably RF533, which had a special nose, used to test all known air interception radomes. After spending its entire career as a research aircraft it ended its days with the Stansted Fire School.

Thats a Lincoln?! Looks like a Lanc to me, could be one of the maritime ones?

Anybody know what that is on the front of the Lincoln were the turret should be, it looks odd.

Very nice, especially the one of the Vulcan going right overhead

Now they are just glorious. Slightly dodgy way to transport missiles though! Thanks for that pick-me-up this dull Sunday!

Bye the look of it it’s nearly over the camera.
