The book you want is “Pioneer Pilot: The great Smith Barry who taught the world how to fly” by F.D.Tredrey (who also authored “Pilot’s Summer”), Peter Davies Ltd, 1976.

Yes that’s the one that I read,couldn’t remember the title at the time of my post above.It really was an excellent read.

I read a book about him about 6 months ago,his set up did some fantastic training.I found it so interesting that I hunted down another book by one of his team of instructors called “How to fly and instruct on an Avro” by F Dudley Hobbs.Brilliant

Hi Sopwith

Might be Spit IX MH603. Would be correct for 1942 (I think)

Javelin at Box near Bath

I saw this thread and it prompted me to ask does anyone know if the Javelin that was outside the underground munitions depot at Box is still there? I went there about 20 odd years ago and it looked pretty ropey then,so hopefully it may have had a bit of TLC in the meantime.

Yes I belonged to TIGHAR about 25 years ago,seemed a good idea at the time,soon realised the score and didn’t join again.I am amazed that they have survived so long.When I joined they were looking for “L’oiseau Blanc”,but I don’t think anything came of that.
