    ‘The Sky Suspended’ by Jim Bailey,he flew Defiants[B of B] and Beaufighters,a fascinating read.

    Many airfields indeed,but many are still missing-Rackheath,Beccles,Deopham green,Fersfield,Debach,Leiston -sure there are a few more.I only note these as I have flown over the East Anglian countryside for 30 years and tend to navigate by the disused airfields-like churches in E Anglia you are never out of sight of one!

    The flag is attached to a small Bakelite peg which fits the smaller dia hole of the socket arrangement shown in the photo cutting off battery power to the busbar[makes system safe on the ground],likewise a similar arrangement isolates the starter motor when on the ground.

    Always sad to see A/C I worked on end up like this-still it was 30 years ago

    DB is quite right,less likely to fall off the wing during maintenance!! But also taxying with nozzles aft didn’t do much good to the flaps.Now where is my 10pence piece to check for delamination!-still a technique used on the 146.

    That’s sad to see-had a few ‘interesting’ backseat rides in it when it was Red 12 on No 1f.

    Common sense prevails at last.My Auster has been on a PFA Permit since 1978,it is by far more airworthy than most of the Austers I have seen that have’Certificates of Airworthiness’.
