See what I mean about historic? Auster 5J1 in the foreground, the flying club’s Tiger in the background.
Rex Ford (of Fordaire) is noted for purchasing this Rapide and restoring it to an excellent condition. Having been up for sale for a year, I guess the props have been removed and preservant has been placed in the engines.
Here we see my mate Jezz having a look (Jezz went solo on the same day in a microlight – well done)
First off, the Fordaire hangar where a German “Jumbo” Jodel D140 was sitting with cowling off.
The Vic.
Hardly worth preserving intact given it’s current condition.
Although it would probably disintegrate into dust if moved. 🙁
Ahem
One of Atlantique’s Dakotas is at Shawbury, helping out with the Horsa glider project.
Which will fly.
Of course 😉
Correct! 😎
And with one correct answer and no passes, please tell us about TEL’s RAF career.
Cheeky moo! 😀
Yeah, I like the Tripe and in fact, any high-wing rag-wing Piper.

Chinese Whispers. Excellent. Who wants to play? If we PM each other in turn, it would be interesting to see what the original message gets turned into 🙂
Hmmmm…! Not intended as a generalisation this you understand. I had one of my photos published in Today’s Pilot. They printed it as was even though the blue Robin looked mightily off colour (poor thing – pic was too muddy and colour balance def. needed adjusting) :rolleyes:
However, you couldn’t slip something of poor quality past the FLYER lot as the owner and chief photographer know their stuff!
It’s the old “functionality versus ease of use” interface debate. The golden egg, as it were, is for software to be both. Often it’s one or the other!
Thus things boil down to personal choice.
If you can sit down, learn the interface, functions and have time to experiment, then Photoshop.
If you’re a little impatient like me or are an occasional user, PSP is the way to go. I’m currently using PSP8.
Maybe. Maybe not. I only did a quick search on Google. Can’t see where an “arm/release” lever would fit in, but I suppose only derro can compare the part against the drawings.
No doubt PR Mallory made more than one part for the war effort. Further research on the company would be required.
Interesting to note that a PR Mallory (same?) was the founder of Duracell.
Def. commercially unviable. As someone who has to maintain ultra low volume, low sales, loss making products here at work (shhh, don’t tell the boss!) I am always willing to dump them in favour of ditching, better products or ones that can effectively be self-maintaining hence low overheads.
Moggy. Does the rusting hulk in your back yard come with a cannon? 😉 😀
Yeah. The latter. Obviously :rolleyes: 🙂
How is the Red Lion better at Hinxton than Whittlesford? (he said recalling Moggy frog-marching him to the latter! 🙂 )
