    I’ve been in contact the owner of the manual by E-mail and this is the genuine article , it was given by the engineer to the current owner on the proviso that it was ” to help in your aviation career in whatever way it can ” , any money raised by the sale is going towards the rebuild of an aeroplane in the UK .

    Definate no , the Speys are licence built in China . The RAF ex-stock Speys are stacked up in the Marine Salvage yard in Portsmouth – none of these will ever fly again.

    Nope , I have the same tow hitch on both – only difference is that the Fergies is self levelling , and Saabs don’t come with depth regulating hydraulics 😀 . I tried to drag a tattie howker out of a field last year with the Saab as I was to lazy to go and get a tractor – a definate no go.
    The Fergie easily pulls a 9 ton grain trailer at 12-15mph , the Saab won’t , period ( unless you want to buy a new clutch every week .
    😉 If you are ever looking for an aircraft tug drop me a mail , I have some Fergies I need homes for , I never let anybody I know scrap a Fergie , I would rather give them away to good homes , all run well but most need paint .

    Don’t remember the Swordfish at Strathallan being on display.

    Yup the Swordfish was there – 1987 the Swordfish , Battle and Bolingbroke were all on the L/H/S of the Hangar undergoing metalwork , I know I got kicked out of college the same year – poor attendance . 😀
