    Come to think of it how many vampires are flying, I think there is a pair of T11s down at Bournmouth (G-VTII & G-VMPR?) both in RAF schemes and Air atlantiques have a camoflaged one; can anyone think of anymore?

    Mine;

    Chuck Yeager and Scott Crossfield – for their contributions to the X planes.
    Hanna Rietsch – German test pilot.
    Eric Brown – for his contributions as a test pilot and wonderful books upon flying various types, if haven’t read them already get either Wings of the Lutwaffe or Wings of the Navy.
    Charles Lindnergh – for his Pioneering flights.

    And the just missed outs – Sir Geoffery de Havilland, Louis Bleriot, Jean Batten, Sir Alan Cobham and one of my personnal favourites, Douglas ‘Wrong-Way’ Corrigan.

    Hi,

    Last night I came across an account of flying the C.30, in Capt. Eric Brown’s book ‘Testing for Combat‘ very interesting.

    I’d get my favourite an airworthy Viscount (and of course learn to fly it) so I can take you lot flying!

    I like the Idea of including the prospector on this thread, for although it wasn’t built in Luton, it does feel connected, and of course as far as I’m aware all the JPs up to and including the Mk4 came out of the Luton factory.

    Hi,

    Does anyone know if the Fauvel of the RAFGSA was ever displayed at an RAF Halton air display? as I have memories of watching a flying wing there and have long wondered what it was.

    Also does antone have a picture of the Fauvel? as it would be nice to see what it looked like.

    Hi,

    Probably a dumb question; is Ken Wallis still alive? if so surely he would be THE person to talk to.

    I believe there’s an autogyro school up near Carslisle – it was on Blue Peter when they did a special to mark 100 years since the Wright Brothers first flight.
