IIRC, it’s an authentic Mosquito wing and a ‘replica’ fuselage

I remember Whirlybirds with Chuck and PT and their Bell 47G/J. Hasn’t it been aired on Cahnnel 5 recently?

Who remembers Squadron which featured Odiham Pumas and the like. I would love to see the Redcoat Britannia in Bucaneer again and my all time favourite would be the Aeronauts (as it was called in Britain) which was filmed at Dijon with all those Mirage IIIs.

The present Mrs ZHR discovered at the weekend that the bank had debited £1000 from her account for two internet transactions that she had not carried out. Fine, you may think. Except that the bank had cancelled the card back in March and this happened at the end of September.

Stand up and take a bow for your excellent actions, Barclay’s Bank.

The Lasham fuselage section (G-ALYX) was still in existence up until a few years ago, having been mounted on a rotatable mounting and was used for trials on external aerials. It was cleared away when the RAE stopped using the Lasham site for radio trials work.

And it only seems like last year (but was actually 1969/70) when Loganair still used to fly their one, which is now at East Fortune.

But wasn’t the Wessex 60 grounded after various crashes in the 70s/80s which is why they all came back to the UK and were disposed off to the IHM fairly quickly? I know that civil registered Wessex HC2 have had “problems” in New Zealand and all are all probably grounded there as well.
