There’s one on its way……. eventually. Is it in Canada or USA still? I know its waiting to be moved back here…

I think that one has crossed the line from ‘being on it’s way’ to ‘being stuck’.

Well we don’t quite have a Vulcan yet, but once we do a Gannet would be nice.:)

There is a picture of XM823 in the Story of the De Havilland Comet by Scoval.

It is in the standard Transport Command livery, without titles. The caption says: ”Ex Air France Comet 1A F-BGNZ was converted to 1XB standard by de Havilland in 1957 for the Ministry of Supply as G-APAS, and transferred to de Havilland Propellers as XM823 in whoose service this shot was taken in October 1963”.

Quite what de Havilland propellers were using a Comet for is anyones guess!

I seem to remember there was some kind of official feasibility study done in the early eighties to see if was possible to get XR220 flying. The conclusion was it could be done.

I think it was printed in Air Pictorial. Got a copy….somewhere.:confused:

If it is inevitable that it is going to be scrapped, it would be nice if enough parts could be salvaged to restore XM 607.

Pilot’s notes are still available for the 6/7. They normally have some excellent pictures of the cockpit.

You can get them from the publishers, Crechy, or Amazon.

I have read the content of both the Long Marston threads with interest.

On one thread we have a member of this forum posting photos of the aircraft, this provokes comments, which suggests that the owners are a bunch of arrogant muppets, who should be threatened with kneecapping.

Then we have a bunch of photo’s posted on another forum, which suggests that the photographers are a bunch of idiots, pr1cks, c+nts, turds who had they been in America would have their heads blown off!

Incidentally, although trespass is against the law, it is not a criminal offence.

Hi Benoit

Excellent choice.
Although I learnt there many years ago it is still run by the same people (Bill and Gill). It is a very professionally run outfit.

East Midlands is a great airport to learn to fly from, it gets you proficient in r/t and flying in controlled airspace right from the beginning.

Good luck. 😉

A multi-engine aircraft requires no advance permission to fly over a built-up area.

Moggy

It does if its on a Permit.

The main reason Austs havent ended up on the PFA is that many Auster owners objected to it:eek: So they only have themselves to blame, They must be mad the best place for them is on the permit system. i belive it was not all but a significant number thought it would devalue the A/C:confused:
I have some pics of poor old RB somewhere i will did them out.:)

No, the main reason is that people keep coming forward to take on the TRA!

If no one took on the TRA, then the Auster would revert to the Permit system. I understand members of The Auster club persuaded the first organisation, which came forward, out of taking it on. Only for them to be replaced by someone else, who seems intent on doing so.

Apart from a lot of posting on various internet forums the owners don’t have much say in the matter.

I think the CAA are amazing. They have managed to find a cause and a solution to the Australia crash even before the australian authorities have finished the investigation. Not a knee-jerk reaction by lawyers at all eh!:confused:

Would you want to do aeros in a JP knowing that it could lead to a structural failure?

Just to bump this up, and a reminder to anybody who has not signed the petition to please do so.

Currently this matter is 8th out of over 1700 petitions on the Downing Street Website!
