OO that looks nasty! glad occupants are ok. Trouble with these old girls is that the bits are getting harder to come by and more and more expensive!!
All the time that they are on a CofA it get harder and harder to rebuild them.
Had my heart in my mouth when i saw the thread title, i rebuild CDC a couple of years back and worried she had come to grief!!!:eek:
Im supprised this isnt in the historic section!!

Skybolt…………

My point is that there are safer places to watch an airshow from outside an airfield. Not so an unreasonable point of view I would submit.

i am 100% with Slybolt on this one.

How do you know what places outside an Airshow are safe????
Durring the display briefing area’s to be used in the event of an emergency are gone through and briefed to all pilots involved. So when your standing in the field that has been briefed as a emergency landing field you compramise not only your safety but that of Others!!
As you you seeming to think that the charges to get into Airshows are “Heavy” then i suggest you try organising one yourself an see just how much they cost to put on!!
As an organiser of an Airshow that is put on to raise money for a local charity i get incensed by seeing a whole load of people watching from outside and not wanting to pay the gate price while still happy to enjoy the show. If every one does this then guess what, no more Airshows for you to free load on!!
Pay to get in or stay away, simple.

The Pup was a new build, finished a few years ago after the chap who was building it died, sorry carnt rememer the Name:confused: Its based down in Devon. A few from me:)

Rollasons/The Tiger Club had G-APOV which was unique amongst Jackeroos in that it had a constant taper fuselage rather than the usual tadpole shape fuselage. I beleive this aircraft crashed near Ashford in Kent in the mid 1960’s. I’ve got some pictures of ‘OV somewhere, I’ll see if I can find them.

G-ANZT has a constant tapper fuselage also, these were built by Rollason and i belive that there were three in total, G-APOV was the first.

very good news. hoping for the gladiator as well

From what i heard lasy weekend i wouldnt hold your breath on that one:(

Apparently Charles used to fly the Linnells Messenger, although not in 1936:rolleyes: I would imagine it would have been a DH60 ??
I agree this should be recorded in the Sywell Aviation Museum, i will see Ben Brown tommorow night and mention it. Facinating stuff:)
