Don’t know if the below link will work – some pictures of DH Fox Moth G-ACEJ over/on Southport Beach.

‘CCB was sister aircraft to ‘CEJ flying from Southport – until she ditched into the briny.
Thereafter she was kept as a spares ship until no longer wanted and the remains (fuselage minus firewall) acquired by MAPS/MAM. Other bits (including a set of damaged Tiger wings from South Wales HAPS that had been exchanged for a pair of Auster Agricola and AOP fuselage frames) were collected and the ‘project’ passed onto Ted Gautry with whom ‘CCB is on long-term rebuild in the Midlands. I look forward to seeing the two of them reunited one day.

Here’s a consolation prize that will no doubt be remembered by many. OK, so it ain’t a Fox Moth, but it is a de Havilland and it is Southport beach. Mid-1960s, in fast-fading light one evening – I remember taking it well.

CEJ used to do the beach at Southport. OJH used to do Liverpool, Speke, John Lennon, ‘Above us only smog’ airport.
Happy days 🙂

Same with me, although a member of Yahoo, you then have to sign up for the particular user group.
