    Well done, just what I like to see, all correct again everyone 😉 .

    No.1. The Equevilly Gervais, you were so close I gave it to ya Jimbo, It was just another of his weird contraption’s that really came to nothing, well done again mate(here’s the pic you might have seen 🙂 ).

    No.9.French Bicycle maker/Inventor Paul Cornu, Well Done Brugg(Phil)
    In the first Helicopter to make a true manned free flight, His own design, with 2 twenty foot(6m) counter rotating rotor’s, driven by a 24/25Hp(18-Kw)Antoinette engine .
    Not a big deal but a start, On the 13th November 1907, It lifted him about one foot(0.6m) off the ground for 20 second’s or so, and later in that month lifted him too, wait for it……five feet(1.5m) for about 1 whole minute :rolleyes: , really another dead end design but the heli Guy’s around the world were starting to get some where atlast, but slowly, (The Beast from a different angle below)..

    What do you mean, a dead end design. 😀

    Patience please Phil.

    It was first thing this morning at work when I made my last post and had to wait untill I got home to have sometning to eat and my cup of tea before I dug out the photographs.

    The year is 1991 and the date was the 21st September.

    The silver aeroplane, just for completeness, behind the Rapide tail is a J/1 Autocrat.

    Brian

    P.S. It was the same show that the SU-27 Russian Knights appeared at.

    Thanks Brian.
    1991, i thought Finningley had finished by then. 😮
    once again thanks

    Having spent 12 years working at Finningley I think you could be right. There is a No 1 painted in the hanger windows just to the left of the tail above the foliage. That would make it the Search and Rescue hanger and between the hanger and the end of the frame is what appears to be a substantial building, which was on the other side of the road behind the hanger, in which JFACTSU (Joint Forward Air Controllers Training Support Unit before you ask) was based. If I trawl through my photo collection I can probably get an accurate date.

    Brian

    Yes it could be Robin hood, oh i mean finningley, but what year. 😀
    Thanks Phil.

    Afraid not..you mean you go places and take photos and can’t remember where you took them?? This is Brian Woodford’s Dragon Rapide G-ACZE, but the background appears to be a RAF Station somewhere?

    I probably remember for the first 10 years then it gets hazy 😀

    I think it was Fairford 1989. XT604 was in the static, as was a Portugese Puma – see here:
