    That, of course, is a BA 1-11 on the approach to Runway 33 at BHX. You used to be able to get right round to the back of the fuel farm, don’t know whether you still can.

    Next is a DC-3 of Atlantique. Poor quality though.

    Let’s try this. (But I don’t think it’s going to work.)

    Whoops, think i’ve messed that up. I’ll have to try and fix the others.

    Been looking through some old photos and found these. They must have been taken about 20 years ago!

    First is a 737 leaving BHX. Can’t remember which airline though.

    dhfan.

    I think that engine belongs to the TSR2. I didn’t go round that side as there were a couple of party’s of schoolkids and I didn’t fancy negotiating my way through them in my wheelchair. I didn’t realise but you certainly get a different perspective when your eye level is two feet lower than you’re used to.

    Some American design? Possibly Boeing? Seems to share some commonality with the B29. Other guess would be Douglas?

    I would imagine there is a fair chance that one may go to Cosford. I believe the airfield has quite a short runway and this may preclude the arrival of a Concorde by air? Perhaps one of our resident pilots might be able to tell whether or not a lightly loaded Concorde could get in safely.

    I posted a pic of an Argosy, but can anyone tell me who use to operate them please? I can’t for the life of me remember anyone but Air Bridge Carriers.

    Thanks for your help. Strangely i’ve found if I open an image in MGI Photosuite then reduce the size by just one pixel both length and heightwise, the amount of kilobytes taken by the imafe is almost halved, yet the size difference to the image is minimal.

    Thanks again.

    Mongu.

    You’re right. It is the nose section of a Trident 3B. But it has never flown. I can’t remember for sure but it’s either part of a simulator or procedural trainer.

    Finally, my dad proving that it is harder to get out of the Vulcan exhibit than it is to get in 🙂

    He never had that much trouble climbing in and out of the one at Coventry.

    A bit embarassed to admit this because I should know yet always get them mixed up. Is this a Dove or a Devon?

    And here’s a type I’m glad I did see on many occasions, including a four a/c scramble. Sadly, I doubt I’ll ever see one in the air again…….:(
