The prototype SAAB 105 first flew on July 1, 1963, so the type is 42 years old!

Aha, look at this:
“After the R.A.F. maintenance unit was opened in 1939 it became the main employer in the parish, giving work in 1967 to 1,750 people, mostly civilians.”

This (at least to me) infers that RAF Quedgeley never was a flying station!

Be thankful you’re not involved in a French court case – mine has been going on for 3 years and it will be 2 more years before the next hearing!

Interesting comparison with FM213 of the CWH.

RAF Neptune

52 Neptune MR Mk 1s (P2V-5 from the US Navy) were supplied by the US under the Mutual Defense Assistance program in the early 1950s. They first entered RAF service with 217 Sqn at St Eval, and then a wing was formed at Topcliffe to cover the Northern area. Neptunes remained in service with 3 RAF Squadrons until 1957.

You absolutely must get a solicitor to help you! A decent solicitor should not charge you anything up front when you explain the situation, but of course will expect to be paid sooner or later, when he/she has fixed the problem.
I have, unfortunately, lots of experience with solicitors in Sweden and France, trying to sort out a situation that was also brought upon me by someone I trusted implicitly.

Trying to imagine what a 112 cylinder radial engine might look like, I googled up this one with a mere 42 cylinders . . .
