Very interesting photos, thanks for posting! Is this trip an annual event? Greta to see the Waverley as my Dad worked on it. Not sure why this is posted on Historic Aviation :p
[QUOTE=…starfire]Hello,
having just finished reading “First Light” (also “Duel of Eagles”, “Nine Lives” and “Wing Leader”), Iยดm now looking out for fighter pilotยดs autobiographies (?) which cover mainly the period after the battle of britain towards the end of WWII.
Can anyone recommend some books?

Thanks Galdri! Photos were too big or too many, trying again :rolleyes:
That grand-daughter of yours must be interesting asking you about jet packs and waking you up to watch aviation films! :rolleyes:
Ecuador Air Force.
My report in 2000 lists 10 Strikemasters 89/89a/90’s and they belong to the Escuadron de Combate 2313 Squadron.
My information is that the Sudan Air Force received 4 Hunting Provost T.Mk.53’s for training in 1957. Four more ex-RAF were delivered in 1960.
Twelve Jet Provosts were delivered in 1967 replacing the Mk.53’s. They lost three of these aircraft in two months and another one was returned to the U.K. for repairs.
Another source of information gives numbers as follows:
Four T.51’s 57/76
Twelve T.52’s 62/79
Five T.55’s 83/98
There are reported to be 10 Strikemaster 90’s in service between 83/98. The last report in 2000 reports three 90’s in service.
Sorry but it is not Ace Eli!! i have a copy of Ace Eli and its a different film. As you say, Ace Eli was made in 1973, my father flew for the missing film, he was killed whilst filming “Von Richtofen and Brown” in 1970. Im sure septic is correct with the”Fanny Hill Meets The Red Baron” just need to try and track a copy down. Anybody got a contact for CR?! i have a picture of him with dad somwhere.
I cannot trace that CR was involved with ‘Fanny’. He is not on the credits of this film. He is a member of the EAA, so they may be able to contact him, but would you risk asking him if he was involved with Fanny? ๐
The Sioux is at Middle Wallop. ๐
Wouldn’t be the direction to the restrooms would it? :rolleyes:
Tony is right I think, the story is about a 1920’s stunt pilot. ๐
Cliff Robertson was in a film called The Big Show in 1961, don’t what the film was about but the title is suggestive. He was also in Too Late The Hero in 1970 which is a WWll drama.
