    RE: Tank U!

    George, What a silly question, of course I’ve got the Tin Triangle, some taken at Leuchars the same time as the Lightning. I’ve even got the polished Metal Jav flown by Sqn Ldr GH Beaton the CO of 228 OCU. But you’ll just have to be patient. In the meantime here’s XH894 of 29 Sqn in transit through Nairobi to Ndola from Akrotiri during the Zambia Oil lift. I’ve posted this before, but you probably missed it!

    RE: My Favourite Aircraft

    Nice Phil, although why someone should want to replace the beautiful 373 Cu In (that’s 6.124 Ltr, to you modern metric types) Gipsy, with a Cessna puddlejumper engine, I just can’t think. Are we back to the Centaurus/Twin Wasp Sea Fury discussion again ?

    Hi Phil, If you or anyone else for that matter, would like copies of anything I post, just let me know. I can produce inkjet prints up to A4 size. I’m not looking to earn cash here, just enough to cover my costs. I’ll even consider swaps if you’ve got things I would like.

    RE: My Favourite Aircraft

    Thanks boys’s keep ’em coming. AOZP is a real cracker of a paint scheme. My first flight was out of Kinloss, over Findhorn Bay on a glorious Sunday afternoon. 20 Minutes of aero’s that I’ll never forget. I flew again regularly with the Kenya Air Force a few years later, then in the 70’s when I was at Church Fenton. I’ve attached WP924 when it was with the CFS at Little Rissington, it’s now G-BBMX and owned by a Dutchman.

    RE: Breguet 14T-bis

    Hi Chister, Nice to hear from you. I must be going daft in my old age, never thought to do a Google search!! I’ll certainly have a look at the sites you’ve found. I thought I’d put some of these old photo’s on anyway, and share them with everyone. There’s lots of highly bent aeroplanes in the albums, and in most of them it appears the pilots walked away from from the crash! I suppose it’s the crumple structure working before the car industry invented it!

    RE: RHKAAF Alouette & Islander

    Getting shots from the air certainly gives you a different angle. I’ve got a good shot of a US Navy R6D-1, again at Kai Tak, but this time taken from a Whirlwind. I’ll dig it out and post it in the next couple of days.

    RE: Bulldog

    Hi Ageorge. There was the complete fuselage frame of an Anson, minus the fabric and fittings lying out at the back of Kinloss near the burning area. I last saw it in the late early 90’s. I went back to the area 2 years ago, but it seems to have gone.

    RE: Bulldog

    Hi Ageorge, I ran the engine repair section at Kai Tak. So I managed to get a bit of flying in on the Wessex. I had a few mates on the RHKAAF so we organised a photo shoot. As you can see however the weather turned out a bit like a Scottish summers day!
    Lots of things fly in Scotland, but admittedly not much of the historic variety, I live slap bang between Kinloss and Lossie, so no shortage of aircraft around here.

    RE: Bulldog

    As Coanda mentioned the HKAAF Bulldogs, I thought I’d post these. I took them from a 28 Sqn Wessex over the New Territories in 1978.

    RE: Viscount SE-CNL

    Hi Andrew, I’m afraid I don’t have much info on it. It was C/n 13396 and after use by Caledonian as “County of Inverness” it was withdrawn from service in April 1971 at Biggin Hill. Presumably it was then scrapped, but that’s a guess. Maybe someone else has more info.

    RE: Putnam Books..

    Hi Glenn, I’ve got a good number of the Putnam books, covering most of the British Manufactureres, McDonnell Douglas and a few others. I have found them to by universally good works of reference with less than the average number of errors. I’d recommend them to anyone.
