I’ve done that too but child protection legislation killed that one off.

I’ve never had that problem – I get invited in by a teacher and/or Head, and am not left alone with them!

What’s sort of ironic is that a certain aviation writer and long-serving member of Air Britain lives there!!!!

Lee has been trying to get hold of someone at SH, but as a lot of the old guard have gone, its difficult for the newer members to know where the stuff is. I am sure that the Leavesden logs are at SH. Possibly the Hatfield ones too.

I’ve been having trouble also with them Bruce – ever since John’s funeral I cannot get anyone to answer any emails – despite me having some stuff for them!

I know this may sound wrong to some of you, but at least he died doing some thing he enjoyed.
He has also given much joy to many people who have seen him flying Shuttleworths aircraft.
May he be at peace.

I agree completely!

Just back from Old Warden – the news is not good at all, but it is not in my place to reveal any name, or speculate as to the cause.

DH Gazette regularly reported membership to that group – given that’s it’s 1934-1954, I probably have the presentation event on file. Is there a recipient name on it?

Wasn’t the cause a control restriction caused by a modification of the seat harness?
Sad, as I thought the aircraft looked good in her wartime ambulance scheme.
Did the airframe survive?

For those interested in the accident report to G-AHGD, it can be found here

The Skoda did not look very good either!
