    Comet. I don’t think it’s looking quite as tired as last time I was there.

    At the Coventry Airshow a few years back there was a flypast of 9 (I think) Daks. Impressive.

    Not me, Bruce, A.J. Jackson! 🙂
    The sad thing is, it was presumably airworthy when it arrived at Liverpool, possibly still was when Southend closed and isn’t now.

    The original Wright Flyer came to the Science Museum in London when the Smithsonian credited Langley with the first flight.

    IIRC, somebody, (possibly Curtiss?), modified (a lot) the Langley Aerodrome so it did eventually fly.

    The Smithsonian finally agreed the the Wrights had been the first during WW2 and the Flyer went back. Whichever was the surviving brother ensured the Science Museum had time to build a replica first. I think the replica engine was built by the DH Technical School from the original patterns. Anybody been to South Ken more recently than me and remember for certain?

    According to A.J.Jackson’s DH Aircraft since 1909, it never flew in England.

    Was dinosoar a deliberate misspelling of dinosaur due to an aviation link? 🙂

    Not British – Australian. DHA-1 if creaking memory is right. Loosely based on the Dove and designed,IIRC with the Flying Doctor service in mind.

    Creaking memory was wrong. D.H.A.3

    Seems to be the only one in the Northern Hemisphere, although it has never flown here.
