    yup definitily white, saw it being rolled out ouf the paint shop at filton, on the way to lunch the other day……it was just getting ready for take-off at knocking-off time.

    Camera’s are not allowed on-site without special clearance so there’s no chance of me jumping headlines with some of the aircraft that get rolled out of the air livery hangar (the old brabazon hangar as it happens) unfortunately.

    I have read CF Rawnsleys Book a few times and there is certainly NO mention of this incident in there. Golley’s work also does NOT contain any record of such incident.

    John ‘Cats Eyes’ Cunningham was renowned for his marksmanship, and how close he got in his pursuit of an aircraft to visually identify it.

    However. Rawnsley didnt always fly with Cunningham in the early days.

    Ray Jade, you recall correctly, Rawnsley writes on more than one occasion in Blenheims and Beaufighters Cunningham asked him up front to see what he’d been chasing. When in mosquito’s it seems that john also suggested rawnsley take a look when closing in for the kill.

    no, not at those temperatures anyway.

    you CAN crack any hot part, especially if its a cast part (as all major aircraft parts are) by too rapid cooling.

    the landing gear manufacturers (not boeing) would take this into account when stressing the components.

    we parked in the field just behind the gate and must have been at the gate at around 0730, there was nothing that i would call a queue, for an event like this anyway………we were through the gates in 5-10 mins max.

    aim to do the same this year………….

    parking on the airfield was good, but was a pain in the rear getting out!

    /SHOUT ON

    BUY THE GOOD GLASS

    BUY THE GOOD GLASS

    /SHOUT OFF

    and buy a canon 350 or similar nikon, or even a new sigma body

    I have a canon eos350 and a sigma 50-500, which, the last couple of my picture posts, both being from bristol airport shows their quality.

    the eos350 is more than adequate, the 20d having little in the way of advantage for allot more money.

    slide/film/negative scanners can be good, but much depends on where the film is developed.

    sea hawk…the 350 reacts well enough to the 50-500!

    1.I am a Structural Design and Stressing Engineer working on A380F wing rib design/sizing/stressing……

    2.I have an average grade degree in engineering from UWE, I was very lucky with my employers, with little or nothing in the way of a formal interview process! The learning never stops, and am doing a post grad course in aerospace ‘things’ ranging from management to helicopter design.
