Came across these while looking through some of my grandfather’s stuff. He was with the Ministry of Aircraft Production in the 1940’s and had something to do with the Short brothers. Date on the back of first photo is 22nd April 1942. My father also remembers getting a flight in a Sunderland with John Parker at the controls!

Cracking photos.
Any more rain and they wouldn’t need the tractor…it would be able to taxi out!
