In 1983 a rather obscure production for tv called The Aerodrome was produced with, i think, most of the flying scenes conducted from Dx (there is a brief mention in this months Aeroplane mag). Here are a few pics of the Vampire T.11 and two T33’s used in the making of it. I know the Vampire is WZ507, but were the Lockheeds the pair owned by Hayden Baillie and if so who flew them and the Vampire during filming.?

The T-33 on the left is G-TJET and the one on right is G-JETT.

Thanks.. although sadly not a very good one. I was still at school then and my kodak 110 camera was basic to say the least.!:o

T-33
I would guess the other was the Aces Hgh aroplane. Certainly wasn’t WGHB.

I thought it was Aces High with G TJET and the ex G OAHB, probably owned by Bob Thompson and registered G JETT.
