My Dad tells me that he flew (as a passenger) in the Chipmunk’s maiden delivery flight to the RAF while he was doing his National Service in around 1948?? He was serving in a ferry squadron.

BTW superb photos Alex.

Hi Cargomaster
Was the super photo of the B-50 refuelling some USAF a/c taken at Liverpool Speke in the 50s. I remember seeing a similar thing at a display at appro 500ft (over the crowd) at Speke??.

No, wethersfield 1963

Thanks Mark – credit and copyright on that pic goes to my Dad! Pic taken at Wethersfield Open Day in 1963. Same unit by the looks of the markings -do you know which and from where perchance?

More great shots – thanks for posting

I paid £35 last year and got the lens back within about a week or so.

Stunning photos Franck 🙂

What camera and lens do you use?

Spooky – I was only thinking about that Prentice a day or two ago. My train to work takes me past there every day and I haven’t noticed the Prentice for years. I’d be interested to know how long it is since it disappeared.
