I’m currently working my way through a load of slides which have been donated to the museum & which we will be selling to raise funds for the museum.
Amonst these slides are 15 from the Torbay Aircraft Museum. From the following featured aircraft can anyone give me a date range for the slides?
Meteor WF877, Bouchon ‘F’, Sycamore XG544, DR1, Vampire ’53’ [XE995], Sea Hawk, Sea Venom, Dragonfly ‘Y’ [WN499], Provost T1 ‘O-J’ 7615M [WV679]
S/N in brackets are not visible on slide but are from my research.
Cheers
Geoff.

Somewhere in the loft, I’ve got some slides and a programme from August 1973, don’t ask me to attempt to look for them.
However, my amazing memory tells me that all 3 BoB replicas were on site that day.
We stayed in a campsite down the road and just about every tent but ours was washed away in a horrendous thunderstorm the night before our visit, we walked up there the next day.
I’ve Googled, but can’t get much info, is the collection still there.

Geoff,
I have (somewhere in the attic archive) a guide dated around the late 70’s.
All the aircraft mentioned in your post are included along with ‘potted’ histories.
pm me with details if you want it posting down.

Hi Geoff, I am sure the Buchon was a BoB film rep Keith Fordyce had 3 reps from the film Spit Hurri and 109 I Know my father has some slides or pictures somewhere will see if I can pick his brain but im guessing early 80s
