OK – you win!!
Could it have been this one? Tangmere, Summer1943? But I hadn’t recalled RAF markings. Thought someone had lost his way!!
The Hillman looks the same!!

PS How would we have had one at that time?
Air Displays
I’ve said it before, but I need to remind myself.
Thought it would be clever, in the ’50s, to feather the 2 Shackleton engines nearest the spectators.
As we were in the middle of a very low pass, No3 failed.
Count the number of hands going for the switches!!
My last T20 flight – noted +1 boost/2100 revs/ 250 kts.
Cool!!
Never really gave it a thought.
So long as the chap got out, I see no harm. I’m sure MoD wouldn’t want it any more?
The collector’s world is avid & fascinating &, within the rules, as with national monuments & coins, I see collecting in general as a good sport to keep people out of the Pubs!
Personally, I’ve only collected postage stamps – & pebbles from the beach. Yes, even that’s forbidden now??

Oh, wish I’d thought of that!!
But open your PM box??

Andy – please clear your box!!
Which image??

Snaps is good thinking – I think! But too coarse for the pack – I think.

Well you prompted it, Andy!
Yes, Mark – I was slightly scorched!!

Communication, communication!!
Snide, Mike? – not yours, nor were the others so intended, I trust! Some critical observations – not a bad thing.
The sack still appeals to me!!
= Tim
‘Witty comments’ – mine, at least, Mike, were not intended to be snide.

Mid-summer??
Good try!!
What’s more, I was in shirt sleeves – highly improper, but I was supposed to be going on leave that day & was in my No1. So took off the jacket to preserve it.
= Tim
Didn’t know I pinged!!
Books? Andrew Greig’s That Summer as I mentioned elsewhere?
A really ‘dear’ story.
= Tim
What are you doing sitting in front of that thing, Andy??
PS Thought the ‘others’ might like to see it as it was the day before!!
