If you do want to include V1 incidents, there was a major one in Sandringham Rd, Watford in July 1944.
It was mentioned a few times by my family years ago and I had a vague idea where it was but it’s only now after looking it up on Google maps that I realise it was only about 1/3 of a mile from where my paternal grandparents and my 16 year old dad lived. No wonder it was talked about…

Considering how close to London it is, and with two then three major aircraft factories, Hertfordshire seems to have got off relatively lightly, both with bomb damage and aircraft crashes.

Make that four aircraft factories – I forgot Aldenham.

The one that struck me was “structural funding to areas hit by industrial decline” which translates as giving us back some of what was left of our own money after doling it out to everybody else.

A Lancaster seems unlikely but IIRC he did have a York at some stage.

Edit: Need to type quicker!

Maybe, this issue from July 1992 ?:

It have the “BBMF Spotlight. Colours and crews for 1992” article.

No, that’s not it. We’ve been through 1990, 1991 and 1992.

Last year… I have enough trouble with yesterday without thinking about anything earlier!

I have passed on your thanks and I’m reliably informed that “other years are available”.
We’ll have an initial glance at the covers and a more in depth look over the next couple of days.

I think the Spitfire was a Rotol story, using timber blades from the outset?

Earlier Spitfires up to and including the BofB, had DH props converted on site from two-speed to constant speed.
I don’t know when they switched to Rotol.

Somewhere around here ends my entire knowledge of propellers.

Can anyone explain the principal difference/differences between a Typhoon and a Tempest and which differences lead to an estimate of the ‘better’ aircraft ?

Probably over-simplified but…

The Typhoon wing was too thick for high performance.

Design thinner, more efficient, wing which reduces fuel capacity.
Extend fuselage to make room for extra fuel.
Major differences so change the name to Tempest.

It worked.
