That may be so J Boyle, however we her in the UK do not have luxury of mega cheap fuel, we currently pay close to £4.00 gallon for ‘gas’, which i would guess is about $7.00, couple that to a real pain of a public transport system if you live in the countryside, and all of a sudden it isn’t so much fun.

Anyway, us Brits like moaning, that is why we are so great

I am over the moon that we are soon to have a Victor, Vulcan and Valiant under the same roof and positivley ecstatic that the Belfast will be coming in from the cold, and hope that one day a Hercules will join her, having spent many hours flying on them.
My dad spent many hours on Beverleys and Belfasts, and would question anyone who considers their contribution insignificant.
I would like nothing more than to see an RAF Transport Command Museum hall in the future, Belfast, Argosy, Beverley(!), Hercules, Comet, Brittania, VC10 (C1K), Hastings etc

Friends of Methringham Airfield. Again a worthwhile cause and a magazine that’s worth the very few quid it costs to join.

Not forgetting the Monthly lectures, some of those were really good, especially the OC 20(R) Sqn in September. Like you said, well worth the money.

Cheers for that hamtech, and the interesting information. I was wondering if this was the same item, as it seems pretty labour intensive to make these, and in my grandfathers example, a 1946 P-38, a large number of the ship’s crew on which he was a CPO bought one. Add to this that they seem to have been produced over at least 3 years (1945-1947) and it suddenly seems like quite an undertaking.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I flew into Croatia on a MOD charter in 1996 on a Peach Air TriStar
