    Attached are two photos scanned from my PRXIX bits and bobs. The top photo is of THUM Flight PM631 taken in 1956; the bottom one is of THUM Flight PS853 taken in 1957 (both according to a hand-written caption on the back). Can anyone identify where these were taken? I recall that the box I found them in at a show suggested it might have been Speke airport

    Got to be Speke taken off the observation deck – thousands of pictures around of planes there like that. If you really want you could take the same pictures today (with permission from the hotel) just without the Spit in as the apron was listed along with the buildings.

    Any chance the RAFM will be restored…or other sections joined to make a complete restored AC in the UK?

    Highly unlikely as from what I have read (dont ask me where though) the reason they abandoned the initial restoration (yes they did make a start!) was that the structure was so far gone that to make it structurally sound virtually all of it would have been replaced. So the decision was taken to leave as is and preserve whats left to keep it 100% genuine.

    Is that the tailplane of a Victor behind the 707?

    Stare at it a bit then you can just make out the rest of the a/c just in front of the 707 and behind the Vampire – doesnt help it is painted white though!

    A worthwhile trip for me.

    As well as meeting a few fellow forumites got some bits for the Sea Hawk and Prince, plus I even ended up with bits I didnt really want but got as part of a deal for ones I did. Still, it at least means I have an empty JP instrument panel to add to the swaps pile 🙂

    Could also do with a parts needed list as well as once the correct seat has been acquired then starts the fun of trying to kit it out….!

    This is Venom FB.4 at the 1955 Farnborough show.

    In the background I can make out 2 Javelins and what looks like BOAC Comet.

    No Hampden?

    That makes me sad 🙁

    Not strictly true.

    Whlist admittedly nothing was preserved straight out of service a couple of groups have gone a long way to readdressing the balance –

    Front end of AE436 at East Kirkby
    P1344 being rebuilt by RAFM at Cosford
    & P5436 in British Colombia, Canada

    No!
    It’s not my airplane, but I am sure the new owner will let you all know when he is ready. Anyway, it’s not often I know something before the rest of you guys, so I am going to enjoy the moment!!!!

    I know as well! 😉
