Can anyone recommend a book about Ken Wallis?
Missed it. I was watching the gadget show playing with radio control models.
That’s why they invented VCR’s! 😀
Sixty firemen attended the blaze and the company hopes to be back in business this week, so disaster obviously averted. 🙂

Looks like the chaps at Shoreham are having to let their excellent ‘Flea go – with the Lee-Richards returning I think their troubles must be mounting – bless em. Dave Dunsdalls team have done a superb job against adverse conditions for years – I do hope it finds a good home.. 🙁

Well, it hasn’t found a home yet, no bids, no questions.
22-977, N1141C, G-AWLH, 4X-ANJ is all I can give you. I guess referring to a ’69 registration book will be a start.
This link from 2005 will show that no surviving parts were located.

Item was sold for £2800 and won presumably by snyping, sorry Bruce!
Here is the report by Joe Sharkey, reporter for the New York Times and a passenger on the Legacy jet together with a photo of the jet. Makes chilling reading.
Is that in the UK or over the Pond?

I give you all the information I have, no teasing here, just have to wait and see, sorry. 🙂
Rumour control has the Skymonster as being sold last week and will be flown out! 😮 Watch this space! 😀
Confirmed that the above photo shows the undercarriage in the extended position. Interesting. CNN are reporting that the black box from the Legacy jet confirms the mid air collision. The first two bodies were removed by helicopter from the wreckage late yesterday. Brazil has announced three days of mourning.
There is a report that the Legacy pilot was making an unauthorized change of altitude and had switched his transponder off. :confused:
Soldiers on site, no sign of survivors. Another sad day. Amazing, you’d think the Amazon jungle was big enough or the airspace over it…….
Have you asked Shorts?
I think all the info. you need and are going to get is in the above link, read more easily when opened.
Reuters report that the plane has been located by search planes in the State of Mato Grosso. There is no news of survivors yet so presumably the rescue crews are not there yet.
