    You may find it better to post this in the Modern Military Aviation section. More likely that the aircraft were en route to Fairford for the RIAT event.

    What a beautiful reproduction – well done to the builders. Thanks for sharing the news.

    Steady on chaps!

    The OP asked about Tiger Moth R-5136 – that is G-APAP.

    The new AAIB report published last week and the press reports refer to G-BYTN, which is N-6720.

    I responded in relation to the OP’s 2nd post in which he provided a link which relates to G-BYTN’s incident.

    An informative summary can be found at the following along with links to the relevant AAIB source. No real mystery. http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=177769

    Here’s something to look forward to:

    From WAHT at:
    http://ww1aviationheritagetrust.co.uk/

    ”The Snipe and Albatros left Auckland in a container last week and should be with us by the end of June. Thanks to the Shuttleworth Collection, they will be reassembled at Old Warden by Martin and Steve of Flying Restorers and hopefully be ready for the WW1 evening (sic) planned for 5th July.
    There is a very real chance of seeing at least 5 of Tommy Sopwith’s types at the show with the Snipe and a Sopwith Dove (2 seat Camel) joining the resident aircraft.”

    Expected are:
    Sopwith Snipe ZK-SNI ‘F2367’ 70 Sq marks
    Albatros D.Va ZK-TGY in markings of Paul Baumer, Jasta 5
    Yes, that’s the event which features the Vulcan……

    Seems to be an error above …the WAHT website states this relates to 18 July?

    Many thanks Tony now it all makes sense!

    It would be helpful if the originator could please unravel the jargon (CDT, VTTST, LAHC etc) so those of us who are not expert in these particular matters can better understand the thread. Thanks.

    I believe it does still “linger” , though I consciously excluded the few airframes / components used for safety training elsewhere. Last time I reviewed the Gatwick example it was engineless.

    Thanks David. I saw pictures on the YAM FB pages of it being sprayed during a fire training exercise in April but I had not realised it was in jeopardy as an exhibit. 🙁

    It would be interesting to know why this had to be scrapped, if that has been its fate. I seem to recall that its being located at Elvington originally had something to do with the Handley Page Association … perhaps someone can confirm what that link was?

    It was one of only four preserved complete examples remaining – the others being at Duxford, Norwich and Woodley.

    Amazed such adaptions are allowed to visit and sully their airfield, since the IWM got rid of their Amiot because it wasn’t truly a Ju 52/3m :rolleyes:

    Seriously though the line up for the show is looking good.

    It is N3830, now in the Yanks Air Museum at Chino. It now sports a smart dark green scheme. I photographed it there in the 1990s but here is a link to an article showing the aircraft in the same colour scheme as in the OP’s photo.

    It is a Lincoln LP-3 and was then the only example still airworthy.

    No worries 🙂 I was surprised to see it on GINFO as it not been registered yet!

    Something not quite right too in that g-info now shows G-AVOU as built in 1900!

    A few years ago I put details and photos of the hangar on this Forum after I got the OK to take some internal views of the structure.

    See my photos in post #4 in this old thread:
