Regret stumped with the locations of these Glyn. However, ‘24536’ was a Lakenheath-based Huskie, so guess that’s where it is taken.

Rotodyne

What in 1963??? Do you mean in pieces on a lorry? :confused: It was scrapped in 1962!

I believe that this is the same one that use to do joy flights out of Southend in the early/mid-1960’s.

Is it still a 7 seater?

I thought this might be an opportune moment to share another of the AR archive photos – you may not have seen a colour photo of G-APJB taken over 40 years ago, but here it is at Cambridge in August 1964..Enjoy! 😉

Yoy can see JRB plus onother in the background of this shot of the BE2 talken at Sywell in Feb 1969.

….oh yes!! 😉

It seems some work is about to be carried out on the Comet as it is currently cordoned off and there are a couple of sets of steps laying beside the aircraft.

Perhaps it will be returned to its correct RAF colours as XM823, as I don’t this it ever flew in this BOAC livery?

😉 I have this one on Civil Aviation in the ’60s:

I remember these “Look at Life” short films being shown at the Odeon cinema when i was a lad, in between the main films. They were superbly produced and very entertaining and covered all subjects. I just love the Civil Aviation one, which has a film of Heathrow in 1963, Farnborough Air Show 1966, one about a Hunting-Clan Viscount stewardess and others, all in full colour!
I have been on to several video companies about obtaining this series from The Rank Organisation who made them and these are the results of my efforts. I don’t have the Cold War Jets one yet, but certainly will be getting this. They are released by Video 125 who do a lot of railway DVDs. Speaking to them, I mentioned that the ‘Look At Life’ film series did a lot more aviation subjects, so they said they would see how sales of these go before they decide whether to produce any more. If you want to see more – I thoroughly recommend these for anyone that wants a dose of ’50s & ’60s nostalgia! 😉

I must say i have to agree with Vulcan 558’s comments. There seems to be more thought gone into producing a modern designed ‘arty’ building than to the aircraft going(or not going) in it! A straightforward ‘mega-hangar’ with plenty of glass for good lighting is all that’s required like the Seattle Museum of Flight.
