Isn’t the former wickenby tempest 2 project there two or is that at bentwaters?

Chinook has left. It departed yesterday evening or early this morning.

Thanks.

I wonder, is this the fuselage that used to be stored in one of the hangars at Old Warden? It looks like it.

Wasn’t that one found to be made to a non air worthy standard?

Rolls Royce have told me that PS853 suffered a broken spark plug causing a miss fire whilst displaying at Cranwell last week.There’s no engine damage and the aircraft is now serviceable.

If you look at images 9 and 10 in the gallery you can see that the original hangar (large building) is alongside the poplar trees ¨C the building was always in the same position and the site moved around it i.e. off the grass and onto the old runway.

In image 9 you can see the Queen Mary trailer at the edge of the site boundary and you can almost make out a set of wings on there, IIRC these were the Anson spares post-fire.

So the brain isn’t going lar lar! Thanks howard,the memory ain’t going yet!

Can’t say for sure that it was the early NAM we came to all those years ago but it sounds like it might have been.I remember seeing a wing or wings in the then RAF Training scheme down the side of a green building at the site we came to if that rings any bells howard.

Just had a twin engined aircraft over the house,looked like it was side slipping somewhat.Heading in the general direction of EMA.
