    That picture is ripe for a caption competition – but be careful, you could end up in the Tower……

    With apologies to Tim,

    Interesting to see the A6M – is the ex-ATAIU-SEAC cockpit section still there or is it at Duxford/in storage?

    was he the Tim who used to be a member of Sheffield IPMS in the days when it met on West Street?

    He was a member of IPMS Sheffield – still lived in Sheffield as well I beleive.

    Nothing sinister about the names, Tim had a change in personal circumstances and changed his surname, that’s all.

    Thanks for posting this.

    I am sure many here will miss him.

    I knew Tim posted as Chox, didn’t know he was WH904.

    RIP

    I infer from much of what is posted here that there is considerable disagreement over whether it is a heritage asset or not.

    Whether we like it or not money talks. There have been many arguments over the years about great works of art leaving our shores to the highest bidder. At least XH558 is staying here!!;)

    A heritage asset? Possibly, as a flyer, XH558 is unique. Grounded, she’s one of several.

    Long range 109 recce aircraft certainly operated over Scotland from Norway

    Please don’t linger
    We all saw a great display. Don’t spoil it. The CAA read this forum and what you and others say can be used as reason to tame the airshow displays even further.

    Ah, so we’re back to the Bruntingthorpe Victor hop “Shhhh, we know and we’re not saying’

    They’ve operated on the military register for many years, so something must have changed. Could it be that their test pilot didn’t have a civillian licence?

    Would this not be a case for trading standards?

    Off the top of my head, I can’t think on anything that would make it so. If you bought it sight unseen, you could probably retrun it as not of satisfactory quality (or as described)
