    More than likely WL679

    WL679 was built by Vickers Armstrong at Bournemouth and released from their factory on 25 September 1953. This was the last Varsity to fly with Royal Air Force Insignia, but in the very distinctive livery of the Royal Aircraft Establishment. It landed at RAF Cosford on 27 July 1992 and signalled the end of an era spanning over 43 years.

    If HMS Victory was launched on 7th May 1765 this means she is older than the USS Constitution in my book!!

    USS Constitution
    Laid down: Summer 1795
    Launched: October 21, 1797
    Commissioned: October 10, 1797
    Status: Commissioned as a museum ship

    Go Brits!!

    You mean like our Yak, Stearman or Harvard :rolleyes:

    We owned a Jodel for three days before we couldn’t stand it anymore, it was like a Citroen 2CV with dodgy wings.

    Never thought of those classics 😀

    Whats wrong with 2CV’s (CND staff cars!!)
