The Millenium falcon was designed on a B29 cockpit.

Nice to see a bit of variety at Manchester, reminded me of spotting during my youth when there was an abundance of different varities of aircraft visiting the airport. Our skies are very much dominated by Airbus and Boeing nowadays, all very sterile. Thanks for the video link.

Oh dear, sorry to hear this, I was also told sometime back that the other VC10 fuselage at Brooklands had the hub caps stolen from its control yokes.

I was going to post a review on this but got a little fed up with my photos being rejected for the thread. Personally I really enjoyed the day, great for a first aerojumble at this ideal location and something to build upon in the future. As Alan stated there were about 14 stalls selling aviation related items and probably double to treble this number of autojumble stalls. Pity I can’t post the photos but there was a good mix of instruments and aircraft parts for sale, the Gatwick aviation museum had a really good mix of items for sale from their stores. Collectively all stalls considered I remember for sale a HP Herald instrument panel, Whirlwind helicopter and Wessex helicopter instrument panels for sale, Avro Shackleton windows, ME109 wheel, Tempest wheel, Canberra nose wheel, Tiger moth control column, Shackleton seat pans (a few of them), Harvard prop, Dornier 217 seat back, ME262 wing tip (salvaged condition), gypsy wooden prop, EE Lightning spine as well as various instrumentation from different eras. Historic Tours around the airfield were available, there was also a burger van, club house and bar, portaloos and some sunshine thrown into the mix. All in all a good day out for me, I believe the next proposed date is Sunday 10th June subject to confirmation. Thanks to all those who organised this event.

Haven’t heard of this one but wish them luck! Would love to see this come to fruition, I sure miss a smokey jet. On the same note wasn’t there also a project to restore a Spantax 990 to static condition ?

A reminder of this aerojumble tomorrow Sunday, weather cloudy but importantly no rain!

Malta had such a great varied aviation history, and quite a few airfields for such small island. I was always sad to hear that some years back the Lockheed Constellation bar which was situation on the island not far from the airport got burnt down. Wonder if any substantial pieces remain of this aircraft?

Interesting, thanks for the thread and photos.
