Mum of a friend of mine had the exact same problem. My friend could help out most of the time but when she wasn’t available her mum used this little gadget –

The eyedrop bottle fits inside it and the rim fits round the eye socket so directs the drop into the centre of the eye without touching the surface. She got on really well with it and the reviews seem to back up its use for just such occasions. Might be worth a try if you can’t arrange help.

if anyone is able to provide a picture of this aircraft while employed with 609 it would be greatly appreciated.

Paid a visit to the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington last week. They have a room dedicated to 609 Squadron with lots of photos. Might be worth getting in touch with them –

Really beautiful aircraft. Thanks for posting the video and also the airport website link – some great old photos in the History of the Airport section.

I think you will like these.

Certainly do! The head-on shot is fantastic. Thanks for the historical info there too 🙂

It has been my experience that much fewer forumites visit the “Photographic” forum compared with “Historic” other than perhaps when there is a major well know airshow.

Quite agree with what you’re saying as I tend to stick mostly with the Historic forum only visiting the others when I see something of interest when on the forums home page. Personally though I’m more likely
to visit Photographic if I see a thread about a “minor” (by participant numbers only!) airshow/ location as generally the aircraft are more the types which I’m most interested in. I think the link over on Historic is a
great way to make people aware of what they might otherwise miss out on.

Anyone know whether G-BSMD is still under restoration at Perth (Scone)?
