..Chippies…I believe taken at Croydon?

..rather more gale force than a breeze!

OK completely different…not quite so sharp!!

..Luftwaffe graveyard, Fieseler Storch at Catania, Sicily.

Iran..or should I say Persia, as it was called back then.

In the cold light of morning managed to find the photo I was looking for last night!

Underside view of a 109 F/G tailplane, in the middle are two eye-end fittings that the unit pivots on. At the top, the fitting for the operating jack.

There was quite a good article entitled ‘From Aircraft to Ingot’ on the subject of recycled aircraft alloy’s in the January 2004 edition of Aeroplane.

Must be true or they would have printed it!

No need to apologise, very timely indeed reminds me of the need to use the search facility when up against a thorny problem.
I recently acquired an old press photo of the Venture, much like AA back in 2008, I thought what the hell is that, never heard of it.

Super bit of Pathe footage, really must buy myself a pipe and some ‘rough shag’…perhaps then I could work things out like they did back then!

Thanks for posting..
