I don’t know if it has worked but here is the last drawing I did. (Found under a pile of dust in the loft- seeing the first light of day since 2001):)

Although the Harris controversy has reared its head over many years I found this thread very interesting.

One point I have not seen raised (as much of the flak was given out towards Harris because he was publically trying to justify policies which were not his alone, in an effort to protect those who served in Bomber Command,) someone above him kept quiet that maybe should have carried some of the burden.

While, as Harris who was not afraid to voice his opinion, the one who kept quiet was Portal- Who as Harris’ boss was happy to endose those policies when they were enforced.

4 FTS RAF Worksop had a team in 1957. They displayed that year at RAF Acklington’s BoB Display with four aircraft:- 2 T7s WF829/10 and WL478/6 and 2 F(T)8s WF662/22 and WK741/17.
Does anyone have a photo of them????
Jim

Regretablly no photo’s, but I am interested if you have any other details please.

Not QJ-K, but a Mk.II sister ship that may help prepare the livery spec.

Fluffy I have seen your reply about who desides the colour scheme…….so please have a word with your Boss!!!!!!!.:)

To see P7350 with the QJ codes will be much nicer if IT WAS 616 SQN. You may or not be aware but this Spitfire did fly with 616 during March-April 1941, plus it’s The Sqn’s 70th in November.:)

Officially 616 changed its code from QJ to YQ but the order was not recieved until mid 1941- hence the confusion. Early 616 aircraft had oversized code letters, so are easy to compare with 92 Sqn aircraft photographs.:confused:

Incidentally, this Mk II was the personal aircraft of Buck Casson.:D

Aeroventure has a Waco Hadrian cockpit from Saving Private Ryan, does that count?

Going off very slightly, does anyone know what happened to the CASA III cockpit & centre section that we used to have at Firbeck? I know it went to Germany, but that was the last I heard of it.

When I wrote my initial thread I did put a some thought into what I felt would be a better geographically i.e. Lincolnshire or Yorkshire as both can make an equal claim.

My choice of Scampton was made on the fact it’s history is as well known internationally, it is very complete, reletively accessable , but more importantly (this day & age) available in a few years at little cost to the taxpayer to set up.

But my main reason for making the suggestion is that the U.K’s “big three” have many aircraft that have yet to see the light of day. It goes without saying- most bombers are large aircraft, so concentrating them in a (near) central site would release a helluva lot of room to display many of those in storage.

Sorry if seems that I was dismissing any potential Yorkshire sites- it was not intentional.:o

I agree that itis fine as it is, but feel that Just Jane’s fuel should be free or at least Govt subsided.:)

Its possible that it could be near the national watersports centre at Holme Peirpoint in Nottingham- not far from Tollerton Airport.

I don’t know what made me chuckle the most- the fact of what he had painted or the “increase” in aerial visitors as a result of his action.:D

A friend of mine inadvertantly made a similar major attraction for A10A pilots during the 1980’s- something he decided to encourage rather than keep them away.

Due to being the proud owner of a Sherman tank, he left it outside for a few days after the tank’s appearence at an airshow- needless to say once one
A10 pilot had seen it the rest of the squadron followed suit- result daily bust ups for a fortnight…:)
