Not a Gazelle, but a Dauphin AH1
Terribly sad

Mosquito…… Science Museum… precedent…..
Not aware of that one – do you mean TV959 at IWM?
What they have done to the Sunderland is appalling. What next, chop the arms of a statue in the British Museum so they can put it against a wall.
Glasgow transport staff are fantastic – the less said about the building the better….. and as for the lack of aviation content…
Spitfire – The History by Morgan and Shacklady is probably the best – it covers the 305 in Q1 as well. It’s not perfect, and (IMO) suffers a little from just listing modifications on some marks (and not all of them) but t’s by far the most comprehensive volume on all Spitfire marks.Can’t recall off the top of my head if it mentiones the 312 in any detail.
A casual visitor will be unlikely to go to Hendon. It’s hardly ‘handy’, even for central London. It’s a pity they couldn’t have a train station, as I’m sure the most the GBP sees of it is from the rail line as it rushes past
Did oit get broadcast?
That really will fill the major gap in the existing Spitfire variants
More than 18 years! 🙂
Late 1930s – some of the ones sold overseas, and civil aircraft, were surprisingly long lived (albeit re-engined)
Thanks all – after 18 years, a little while longer is nothing
Such an amazing job
It has big hole sin it where we blew it up to sink it
The Air Britain book on RAF support units would be an obvious place to start, although they only usually give one serial/code combination per type.
There are a couple of shots on the APC page:
I’m not someone who has ‘heroes’ but John certainly qualifies. Sadly, I never got the chance to meet him, but we corresponded over the years on various aspects of the Harrier story, and I was always in awe of the fact that he gave me, a mere enthusiast, so much time and information.
RIP John, the drink I promised you will have to wait a while (I hope)
