I really like the IIb configuration with bomb carriers and hope it stays like that. SEAC or desert scheme would be good maybe?
Possibly not what you are after, but Greenham Common is a lovely place for a walk- some impressive infrastructure left but it’s also a huge and very impressive heathland restoration project.
Are we sure Velma is coming back? Haven’t heard anything either way…
It certainly has! Many thanks for another engaging update. I’m amazed by the motley connection of fixings holding those tail fairings on. I wonder what would else would tumble out if you could pick the whole aircraft up and give it a good shake!
Quite, surely the biggest need is a British Air Transport Museum to house all the outside DAS airliners. At least one of every surviving UK airliner type indoors is a bare minimum for their long term survival I’d have thought. I feel like there shoyld be enough space for this between AAM and LWH without knocking down the latter and shifting the space problem elsewhere!
Not clichéd at all! :rolleyes:
Goodbye 🙁

VTOL, surely? 😀
Beermat: wish there was a like button!
That was easier than the grainy Spanish picture!
As a bit of an aside, I was amazed to discover a few years back that a Cloud still survives (well at least the fuselage) in the Czech Republic:

I think it was a houseboat a la RAF Museum Southampton…
SARO Cloud I believe.
Actually no, not an Argus – the u/c attachments are all wrong!
Fairchild Argus?
Lovely pics by the way Mothminor!
I’ve got a wonderful/nightmarish vision of a really cheap Battle of Britain film remake-using Chipmunks painted to look like Spitfires.
Dang, I was briefly hoping for a Sea Hurricane!
