That’s it – over to you.

Sincere apologies for not responding – was away and unable to access. Glad someone has picked up the baton.

Hi Anecdotage and welcome to the Forum.

Interesting thread – even if is 6 years since the last contribution!

I assume your comments relate only to the turbine and jet types later operated by Air Anglia – their DC-3s all had a natural metal lower fuselage. Attached is an example – I took this shot when the aircraft was in the Fields hangar at East Midlands undergoing overhaul.

The glider version the AW52G was preserved at the factory entrance at Baginton but was scrapped / burnt eventually.

Cool. What’s the history of this aircraft, please?

😉 Mike, that’s why I referred to it as cartridge not shot gun start! My only in-cockpit experience of this system was back in the 1960s when in Provost G-ASMC which was then still using this type of mechanism – quite impressive, it started first bang.

No thanks. I prefer to have emotions stirred by the sound of iconic engines – Merlin, Clerget and the like.

What a coincidence – my name is also Tim and I too recently spent a lovely time in a 1925 Bentley – my day also had aviation connections, as I was driven to a garden party at a private strip where I was able to take the attached picture of the car alongside a rather appropriate aeroplane. All in all a rather nice day. Sorry to hijack your thread!

I thoroughly enjoyed this year’s show. The TFC organisers did a remarkable job to rejig the programme to take account of the loss of the European aircraft that were weathered in. It was a privilege to see the P-26 fly on the Friday and Saturday – witnessing the starting sequence was one of the highlights. The Super Constellation’s graceful display was also a reminder that not every performer needs to wring out the aircraft to impress.

I was unable to attend on the Sunday. Having made such an effort to bring over the P-26, it was a shame the crowd couldn’t enjoy it in the air on the final day. Why were the P-40C and P-26 unable to take part on Sunday?

Carries same scheme and code as XT453 which seems to move around to different venues where it is then shown as a static exhibit e.g. Was at Culdrose Air Day last year.

I would agree – but Lyneham’s Comet still got the chop apart from a portion now at Old Sarum.

There is also a small collection at Dromod which includes some ex Irish Air Corps aircraft and a DC-7 nose and other components. It is co-located with some preserved railway engines and vehicles at a station yard. It is listed on this third party site: http://www.aviationmuseum.eu/World/Europe/Ireland/Dromod/Cavan_Leitrim_Museum.htm

Not clear about opening times now, but I found the people there very welcoming when I visited a few years back.
