Well-known US photographer Bill Larkins has been posting quite a few photos on his Flickr pages lately. There are many gems here, dating back to the 1940s and, in some cases, even earlier:

great link, thanks for posting!

Couple of quick questions regarding the first British Airways;

1) What colour was the registration and lining on the side of the Electra’s and Super Electra’s? I’ve seen a couple of modern colour photos showing it dark red with a black outline, but the REG Davies book has a colour drawing of an Electra with a blue lining and registration

2) Where was ‘Terminal House’ at Victoria, and does it still exist?

Cheers, Rob

Has anyone got any early copies of Wrecks and Relics they could delve into for me?

I’m researching the period 1960 to 1993 and any references to Hornet Moth G-ADMT. During this time it languished at various locations – starting at Stapleford when withdrawn from use, then through Biggin Hill (Air Couriers/Transglobe Airways), the old Gatwick railway station, Redhill (private residential address), New Milton (likewise), Strathallan (the collection – ’75 to the sale in ’81) and Scone (Scottish Avn Trust). Throughout this time, I believe the aircraft was mostly dismantled.

In any case, if anyone has any info of whatever variety about this aircraft, I’d be very glad to hear from them.
Thanks,
Dave

Although the source you’ve linked is my own website I’m
not 100% sure what I’ve published there is accurate?

😮 I know, but couldn’t find anything else but Calverton.
