Brian – totally unnecessary – indeed sounds like an urban myth.
No, it’s true – particularly important for the written word – articles, books, songs etc.

Can anyone confirm the rumour that they planned to hang the TSR2 until they discovered the wing was only held on with 4 bolts?
Vulcan and Victor B1s – both scrapped!
2 Vickers type 253, which crashed at Brooklands 23/07/35 K2771
If K2771 crashed, it wasn’t a write-off as it survived into the 40s as an engine testbed
WF410 was scrapped some time in the last two years I think – can’t remember when, but it was there one trip to BRS and gone the next.
Thanks. Interesting that with all the flak thrown at Eurofighter for being late, the Rafale is at a similar stage.
also the East Fortune one, although don’t know what they’re planning to paint theirs.
It doesn’t look like a Concorde so they are probably not interested. :diablo:
Some background on PS854 – it was one of two PR19s (along with PS852) detatched from 81 Squadron to Hong Kong to carry out clandestine recce flights over Communist China.
The pilot was F Lt Knowles, who also flew/dived one of these aircraft to what is beleived to be the highest height and the fastest speed achieved by a Spitfire that retruned to controlled flight, Can’t recall which one it was.
It was one of several proposals and suggestions made during the War. It seems to have come to nothing, but there is some evidence that RAF Hercules, and possibly Canberras and even a Nimrod (51 Squadron), operated out of Chilean bases during the War
Yes, that is a GR-Mk-3 study for CAS to Royal Marines.

The GR3 is a redundant ex-RAF airframe that was used for ground training at the Engineering Training School at Yeovilton.
Not that an FAA GR3 Squadron would have been a bad idea……….
Thanks, I’ve asked some other Captured Luftwaffe enthusiasts if they have any info.
Butler’s War Prizes mentions a 109F used by 80 Squadron coded ‘EY’, which must be this aircraft
And purchased from the MOTG props auction last year I beleive
Interesting shot, I don’t recall seeing that one before. Can I ask where it came from?
Fixing lug (?) on the side gives it away – now whose JP5/Strikemasters had MDCs?
What site had the TSR2 fuselages? I recall seeing a photo next to a pile of Hunters
