Skyways Avro Lancastrian

Think this question and problem are asked in the ‘New Forum’ layout thread, so patience is probably required. 🙂

For some odd reason I can’t see these photos. There is a field which says “Attached thumbnails” and a paper clip, but it is not active. As I can see photos in other threads, what’s up..?

Update

Learned today (15/4/13) that these two photos came from the collection of a man whose working life was at Shannon Airport from maybe the late forties to the seventies. So unless he got them from someone else, it is likely that they were taken at SNN. I’ve read In Wikipaedia that Sky Airways operated post war world wide non scheduled passenger and cargo services so maybe Sky Path did touch down here!

Anyone recognize the fence at Langley, Dunsfold or Bovingdon? 😀

Lovely! Thanks for the photos – always interesting to see more Lancastrian stuff!

2 photos of G-ABHU

Thank you Longshot. I’ve attached the downsized files. Indeed the guidance was there all along, I should have looked. Unfortunately I have no information on these photos at present.

Simplest way, scan your pics….size them to about 850 pixels wide (about 3/4 screen width) and save in your desktop…post your message….click on the paper clip symbol and open them into ‘browse’ box from your desktop

I came across 2 photos of G-AHBU, didn’t know anything about it, ‘Googled’ and came to this website. Will upload the photos if anyone wants them and tells me how.

Wow! 25 minutes to get the response I needed. Thanks very much. You can always rely on the forumites here to find what you need!:D

You’re right, not many photos available. 😉

Skyways “Sky Path” was a Avro 691 Lancastian 3 c/n 1289. Registered G-AHBU to Skyways Dunfold 16 Sept 46. Crashed Nutts Corner BELFAST 03 Oct 47, so not a long civilian life.
