Nice thread Guys. FWIW, 3 of my cousins own and operate The Petwood Hotel. I doubt that they’ve seen this mention of their establishment so I’ll forward a copy of this post. There is still a room there dedicated to the Dam Busters who used it as an Officer’s mess at the time.

Perhaps, one day, I’ll get back to Blighty and see it for myself.

Twice the noise with 4!

Sorry to interrupt but, that bird is so rare, why isn’t she under cover?

One question, one observation.
Does the 104 still have it’s ejection seat?

If that cockpit canopy on the Bloodhound comes off, it’s ‘good by’ pilot as he’ll be ejected through the **** end……in very little pieces.

Must say though, I prefer the British entry.

Oh, look carefully PistonRob, you can see the all metal wheel poking out under the fuselage. Very little ground clearance there.

Very nice, precise, and not overly complicated drawings mate. Like you, I have “binned” a lot of drawing and my fist wife tore a lot up as well. Today, I only have one ‘goodish’ one left and it’s an experimental. Somewhat coloured by age (50 years) the only thing still true, is the white poster painted hair.

If memory serves me well, her name was/is Sur Woods and she was an Australian model.
