Started as an Trainee in 1980, couple of boring years on Avionics, then onto Engines in the hanger, which 24 years later was still the best job i ever had! Not on Carvairs through, they had all long gone except FW ( Big John). Heralds and Viscounts for me plus 6 months on the Belfast which was nice.
Wow didnt realise it was that big!
I wonder what happened to the “Travel Agent” type ones which were dotted around Southend Airport Terminal in the 70`s? I remeber one in the BAF Reservations office that had a cut away section were PAX and cars could be seen inside. 😀

There was and still is i believe a building opposite the old BAF Engineering Hanger. It was know in the 80`s as the “Tyler Building” and was a long storage building, it was then, and probably not now, full of Carvair Spares. 😮

Was it this one on Ebay ?
Well done Bruce !
Ah the delights of EBay 😀
Thanks the guy also has a CANON EOS 300D same sort of price, with standard lens ?
Hi
Can someone tell me what the difference is between the 30D and the D30?? or are they the same….been offered a Canon D30 Digital SLR Camera & 28-105mm Zoom lens for £200 ish !
Thought i saw 2 this afternoon, good to see it progressing.
Bad luck Bruce, I wonder who won it, and what their intentions are with it?
Slightly off topic, anyone know what happened to the one at Southend? Its the only one i have ever sat in.
Oh nearly forgot…..that was 30+ years ago 🙂
The seller states its currently in Doncaster
anyone know its history ?
Perhaps they did not want it to get blown up !
