My first post should have said my first visit to Halton was in July 1953 not 54. The reason was the same.

The B & W print brings back many memories. These were the aircraft we trained on and I remember ground running one of the Mosquitos and also one of the Meteors. We also used both types for engine/powerplant changes.
many thanks for the thread.

You could try to get hold of a copy of Air-Britain’s “The British Aircraft Specifications File” I am not sure whether they still have any stock as it has been out some time.

Thanks, Alex.

I misunderstood the Admiralty date as the date the RN received the aircraft. Thanks for the info.

One or two more with a naval flavour.

1 Fairey IIIFs IIIB refuelling on the Nile. One is S1834 coded 2. another is coded 5.
2 Osprey K4322 coded 079 being catapulted from warship. This must be post 24/05/39 as that is the date it was transfered to the Admiralty.
3 Caption on the back says Navy Pom Poms.

Sorry I cannot assist any further with the date of the photographs. A friend gave me about a dozen with almost no information. One pic has to be pre June 1933 and one post May 1939. But where the two of the carrier come I do not have a clue.

The Wellesleys must be between 1937 and 1939 and probably be at Heliopolis.

If I can deduce any thing else I will post it.

A long time since anyone posted to this thread. Here are two more pictures from the same source during the mid to late 1930s, this time with a naval flavour.

The first shows a carrier with aircraft along the side. Which carrier and what are the aircraft. I believe the carrier must be one of:-

Courageous Eagle Furious or Glorious. Having seen photos of Courageous and Eagle I do not think it is either of those two but they may have been refitted.

The second picture I think is of the same carrier with aircraft on deck with engines running. The aircraft seem to be a mix of Ospreys and Nimrods but one is the rearmost one? A Fairey Seal?

Your expert opinions will be greatfully received.

Thanks Albert,

The Vulcan was destroyed on 3rd December 1962, as you say not long after its appearance at Farnboro. Although I have not logged seeing it, I am sure I saw it whilst attending an engine course at Filton during 1961. I am hazy about things but I believe there was by the engine school a aew3 Gannet, a Tudor and/or Ashton among others.
