    Indeed a great shame, though useful information for us. The codes for G-BPIV are still undecided at present. Any leads still most welcome though.

    Nowhere near where the Chateu was, that was on the southern side. The pan is still exactly where it is in the photo. Remember, no M11, no Superhangar/Airspace/spam tin, No ARC hangar. You could clearly see straight over to Whittlesford.
    The topographgy was much flatter then.

    Lets hope it’s not a flask of discarded Zylon B from the Factory Farm chemical agent plant!

    So none of you hung around for the second flight of SM845 after the MkV then? It looked very seasonal with its nav lights twinkling 🙂

    I can assure you that this scanned version is pretty cr*p compared with the original. Just as well, otherwise you’d all be downloading it and saying it was one of yours… 😉

    That sounds good! How about some nice authentic sounding artwork of some bloke in a hat, maybe a horse and a name like..er how about “Cowboys in the sky” or some such, and maybe retain a few checkers on the very front of the nose?

    I think it would look nice in London in a shop window. Maybe it could sell something like faux-aviation flying jackets and be suspended at a jaunty angle?

    So that’s not it under rebuild in the telephone box/hut next to “Wing Co. Joe’s” then…

    You are right Daz. Ray Caller painted SM969 for Doug Arnold based on the Hong Kong scheme and used the IWM MK24 as his role model. Mine is based on a photograph taken of 28 Sqn at Sek Kong in 1950 and uses the original manufacturers drawing combined with the photograph and other research.

    I doubt it’s SM969, that might already be going to someone else…

    or it might not…
