    I recall a mention in Pilot Mag in the late seventies/early eighties saying that one was with Personal Plane Services at Booker until being broken up to make space in the hangar.

    Yes the Duxford Diary, one of the rapidly diminishing reasons for staying with this Forum. Good times. Off to pastures new.

    Andrew Panton (sp?) was asking for Pegasus engine spares a month or so back, so up with Just Jane I presume?

    Landing in the same sentence as V1 is an interesting term!

    I agree Roobarb, that this is probably the ex Shoreham one. It might of course be the same design, so nearly as good. The Shoreham Mitchell also had the air blast deflectors on the tail camera position as well. I wonder what happened to those?

    When I was looking at a Tiger here in Aus a few years ago I went through this process. If there is a local Museum associated with Narromine they might be worth contacting, as might the Australian War Memorial as most of their photo archive is searchable on line.

    Forsyth has a quite a detailed history, but no photos. It’s worth trawling through Google Images as sometimes you can get lucky. I suspect though it’s a bit like Stearman colours, in that you need a photo of your actual plane to get an exact scheme.

    Errol, I think they said zero boost as the take off power setting.

    And Moggy, love that phrase. Hadn’t heard it until I moved downunder. It is sadly one of the most accurate truisms used in aviation.

    Okay, got a bit more to add this morning. They also worked on two major TV series at this time. ‘Zero One’ about a security unit based out of Heathrow. It’s all about aviation and ran for three seasons. Three specific episodes are listed by IMDB, Million Dollar Lift, The Bovard Affair, and Stoneface, but I am sure there were many others.

    The other is ‘Danger Man’ which I presume we all know about. One episode is mentioned ‘The Conspirators’, again though there were probably others as well.

    I believe that there is a Demon here in Australia in private hands. Being restored to fly I think?

    Interesting read. I suspect that this may a be part of the problems Vintage Wings of Canada are having with their Swordfish, and possibly the Lysander as well. Hence them being for sale (sadly out of my price range). Sodium filled Exhaust valves are still manufactured by several car manufacturers, so they are still made. A small batch though. Who know what that would cost?
