Good to see that the original Moth of Captain Fresson GAAWO is still active,its the red one.He pioneered passenger flying in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

Seems to be an endless number of Tv productions re using old clips in slightly different ways,the latest is a stop frame showing with overlaid graphics and a voice over asking which of 3 outcomes happened. Those who are nervous of flying or travelling on roads or on water etc should avoid these programmes which never put the events in context.

When I went to the open day in the sixties I recall only the 2 aircraft. They were teaching drivers and general engineering.

Good of you to highlight the link in Historic or i would have missed this great set. Very well done and hope you get more positive feedback.Sadly we have almost zero air display flying in North Scotland.

the make up and hair styles were also not totally accurate, but then who really cares? These productions are for drama and not documentary.

I suggest the Saint logo was adopted from a current novel of the time.Leslie Charteris was well established and his Saint books best sellers

Superb,thanks everyone for taking the time to write accounts here.As a former researcher for the British Aviation Archaeogical Council I can recall the satisfaction of solving members requests.(I still have all my research files )

Your joint end results just prove how many keen people there are and keeps the cynical side of me under control.

I found an interesting contrast that the first batch of Meteors were registered in the EE …. serial range, meanwhile the piston fighters held the fort.

Good to read of recognition the Folland Midge which also became the Gnat was in my view a superb idea and in my slightly cynical view the Midge fighter would have greater sales overseas except the big players in the world had access to pots of money which helped sales via bribes.

Very useful safety aspects briefed as freeze frame inserts,confirmed my usual work flying rig of leather flight gloves and Nomex suit is a good choice.
