    It seems like only yesterday you could find ’em lying around the ‘home counties’.

    Sorry about small and indistinct pic. This Buckmaster/ Brigand, used to be piled on a great big heap of Meteors and Swifts during my time as an RAF Apprentice at Halton ( 88th—Halton Airfield ) This is an earlier pic, circa 1957 I left in Dec 60 and these aircraft were all gone by then.

    Can’t make out this Buckmaster Number, anyone know what became of it and it’s identity ? It was painted in light drab brown all over, at that time.

    The Buckmaster was RP151 and the image taken about five minutes before your Meteor shot. 😉

    Can’t believe nobody (Mark 12 in particular) mentioned the Spitfire! Especially so, as TZ138 (the ski-equipped Spitfire) is a survivor.

    🙂 I am saving the images for the book!

    There was a ski-equipped Spitfire? Not heard that one. Floats, yes, but skis?
    Pray give us uneducated a little teaser, Mk.12, even if you’re saving the photo… 🙂

    Mark 12 – Mossie shot cleaned up and adjusted a bit. Let me know if I’m treading on toes and I’ll take this down again, 🙂

    Two slides from the late Peter Foote collection. Poorly exposed and deterioted to the point of ‘almost beyond recoverey’… but colour never the less.

    I saw 2 of these American registered Mosquitos at Cambridge (Marshalls) in 1968. A number of them were used in exploration in Libya. Normal Malaney described them in detail. The 2 I saw were N9910F and N9870F, and the colour was a rather handsome dark blue overall.

    1968. Should that be 1958? 🙂

    The mortal remains of the original LZ842, frame 5 etc, that had been incorporated in to Ross Campbell’s fuselage project were extracted, inspected, repaired and refurbished. A new fuselage was then built by Airframe Assemblies to full airworthy standard incorporating said pieces and that is complete.

    The residue of the Campbell fuselage project, minus the LZ842 material, was then resuscitated to full quality static display condition by A-A and has been completed for the owner. It currently has no RAF serial assigned.

    It will all be in the book. 🙂

    With a broad view, there are 17 Seafires and Seafire projects world-wide, three are WWII vintage, the remainder are late ’45 and beyond, build.

    It will all be in the book. 🙂
