Yes, but I’ll give you a penny to the pound that the photo was taken pre 1939. Word has it that the Arden barn was “chink free” (can I say that in these PC days!), which may explain the lack of later photos!

I have pictures taken there but they’re in store right now – just so you can get an idea of the status of the AL.1 when she was at Heavitree, have a look at GORDY’s pic that he published a long time back on this forum:

A welcome surprise for me was the attendance and fine display by “DRAG-EM-OOT” Dakota N473DC, this former veteran of ‘Market Garden’ was flown with great vigour on its first visit to Duxford.

Possibly its first display there but not its first visit – it has attended at least one event as a visitor – albeit before it was painted in full WW11 colours.

I agree about the spirited C-47 display – I saw it on Sat & Sun at Cosby (Victory Show) and was very impressed (see my thread for pic).

Great pics Gary love the Spit close-up.

Assuming she’s due to launch from Coventry tomorrow can anyone give a heads up on the proposed ETD please?

If i remember rightly there was some bits of gliders made for a film at the muckleburgh collection.

There was certainly a yard adjacent to (but not part of) the Muckleburgh site that many years ago had some genuine Horsa fuselage sections stored. I have colour slides of those substantial remains including shots of the serials stencilled on the bulkheads. Those examples were definitely original and I’ve no idea what happened to them. Can’t access the pics as they’re stored but when I do find them next I’ll post.

It is possible the collection itself separately / later obtained some parts off film replicas I wouldn’t know.

Hello

…………………A few photographs are credited to have come from the PRJM Library. Unfortunately the article was written by the late Arthur Pearcy, whose archive [I understand] was split up.

Does anyone know if the aforementioned PRJM Library still exists? Also, does anyone know what happened to Arthur Pearcy’s archive – which dealer bought the collection?

I think you may mean PJRM Library which is Peter JR March.

So far as Arthur’s photos go, certainly a large number of his prints were being sold by a dealer who had obtained them. I only ever saw that dealer at a Whitwick aerojumble event – don’t know his ID.

Well we’ll have photo’s tomorrow folks, coz Im going looking. So to clear this up as it crashed before I was born, did it crash in Cherry Lane or did it crash elsewhere then moved to the playground afterwards? …………….. 😀 Bex

In my previous post I mentioned that it crashed on the IoW – perhaps I should have made it clearer that it was already in a non-airworthy state when it went to Salfords. I didn’t however know when I saw it there that the Salfords site was a pleasure ground. All is now revealed.
