Its amazing where you can put an aeroplane!
Albert Ross mentioned the continued existance of Major G-ASWH. In its early days this was based at Compton Abbas and I recall seeing it there and it visiting Yeovilton air days. Many years later it was under active restoration and its fuselage standing on its own u/c turned up at Coventry (Baginton) fully painted. Sadly it suffered from dyslexic treatment and was carrying the “registration” G-AWSH! So far as I recall, it moved on for continued work – I seem to recall Wales being mentioned but couldn’t confirm. I do have some photos of it as “WSH” somewhere.
So far as Minors go, nice to see a recent view of FIR and the progress Arthur has made since he last showed me his work on this venerable example.
Thanks Consul. Another piccie or three from Arthur Mason’s archive; showing G-AFIR when (I think) it roosted in Arthur Ord-Hume’s attic – and a couple of years ago when, with G-BBEA, Arthur M demonstrated you can fit two Luton Minors in a single-car garage!
