Gnat at a Biggin show. Looping round little puff clouds. Wonderful.

Dan,
Bit of a long shot, but the RAF Museum in London has a vast archieve of manuals etc for equipement used by the RAF. They might be able to help.

Also the Shuttleworth collection in the UK operate a Comper Swift which has one fitted. They may be able to help.

Hi Neilly,
Fair point. I don’t agree though. 😀 Innacurate colours missed (I hold my hand up to not spotting the Brown / Green fiasco at Cosford) don’t prove the TT predominance.

I’m not going to convince you though! 😉 We can take smart joe public (often surprising) and dumb joe public (alway predictably moronic) the museum’s job is to take dumb joe public and show ’em (if they’re interested) stuff they didn’t know. Cosford’s Mozzie is far naughtier than the IWM machine because a) it’s in the wrong type of colours (bad and misleading – slapped wrists and inexcusiable) and it’s representing an aircraft that doesn’t exist. :rolleyes:

“Daddy, what’s that?”
“It’s a Mosquito, son. It’s in some famous bloke’s colours. He was shot down and killed in it.”
“Cor, teriffic. This actual one?”
Hmmm.

I do hope the TT gear is fitted. But I’ll agree with Neilly (I’m sure) that the faceted Ju88 style nose was awful looking!

On the RAFM website FAQ It says that they are often asked for details about 633 squadron RAF (not the film!)

Nahhhh , too boring , I built a pulsejet , when it fires up the noise makes you physically sick – unbelieveably noisy and fearsome looking , I’ll bring one to the next Scottish Forum meet. :dev2:

Perhaps you can get East Fortune interested in live firing demonstrations of a replica V1. 😮

Nice shots Stieglitz. Cold but clear skies.

The same argument could be applied to the Avro York. In RAF service it took part in the Berlin Airlift. But it was used in service and ultimately preserved by Dan Air and their enthusiasts. Like the Comet, it is fitting that they are both painted in Dan Air colours. Without their efforts both could have been lost to us.
