Your secret is safe with me, RT It really was a devious little trick! Happy to have helped.

Agreed, that would be quite a long haul for little aeroplanes! It must be the furthest north that the Tiger Club have performed in the UK surely? I’ve searched the British Newspaper Archive in the hopes of finding some reference to the display and confirming its location but have sadly drawn a blank.

Hi RT,

It seems that the Bloch MB-170 designation was used not just for the bomber according to a discussion on the website below. You have to be a member to see all the pics. The magazine clipping (in French) refers to an MB.170 two-seater, with one Renault 4pei engine, built in 1936 but which never flew. Events of the time overtook it and the project was abandoned with the MB.170 designation then being used for the bomber. It’s confusing to have two very different aircraft with the same designation!

It appears to be available on Scribd. You’d have to sign up with them but there’s a 30-day free trial and you can cancel anytime. It appears you have to upload something too but at least it gives you an option if no-one here has a copy.

Hi Duggy

Nice to see you on here again.

The top photo is of an unidentified WREN air mechanic, electrical on board a Ratog-equipped Seafire. In the photo below she is seen holding the electrical test box which the Chief Petty Officer is holding in your first photo.

Ah sorry Prop Strike. I misunderstood and was looking for the photos taken from round the museum site too. Got it now – bit slow this morning lol 🙂

Wow, looking good! Well done to all involved on the progress so far.

I couldn’t find the other photos by following the link Prop Strike but there are so many other lovely pics on there that’s not a complaint 🙂

Hi pogno,

I’ve just had a look at G-ADSZ. However, while the damage to both aircraft is fairly similar, I think there are enough differences to make me still believe it is ‘SX at Le Bourget. The damage to the starboard wing and fin on ‘SZ in particular.

Hi RT,

I think it’s possible that the photo may be of the remains of Armstrong Whitworth Ensign G-ADSX “Ettrick” which was destroyed at Le Bourget on 1st June 1940. It was rumoured that the aircraft was taken over and re-engined for the Luftwaffe but this theory was discredited in recent years after photos appeared showing it in, well, pretty bad shape. If you compare the tail section with the linked photo below you can see the similarity to your own photo –

Youtube video titled Duke of Edinburgh Flying Lessons shows Prince Phillip flying Harvard KF729. Bending the original question slightly but Harvard G-BJST carried this scheme between 2000 and 2015.

Chipmunk WP903 in which Prince Charles learned to fly. Still airworthy. Photo taken at Shuttleworth in 2017.

Fantastic work. It’s amazing how much you’ve managed to achieve given the constraints of the past year. Well done!
