Great pix Albert, although I’m slightly mystified by the lack of substantial JP material in your selection 😉
Unfortunately I am unable to make it tomorrow due to family commitments, but if Glen and the rest of his team happen to read this…
I hope the show goes well 😎

Oh, all right, if you insist! Interesting to note that EVERY aircraft you can see in this shot is BRITISH! :rolleyes:

Kemble Today

Today was arrivals day at Kemble and the weather was CRACKING! Here is a taster that I shot. The RAF VC-10 is making its last public appearance and on Monday will depart for St.Athan to be scrapped 🙁
On the subject of Delta Jets “Blue Diamonds” Hunter, on which there has been quitea lot of discussion on this Forum, this is the first time I have seen this aircraft since its been painted. I had a personal detailed guided tour of the aircraft today and compared notes on the colour of blue it has been painted. I can categorically say it’s SUPERB 😀 and and the blue colour is VERY accurate. The only doubt that was put in my mind was by Damien’s pictures, which were taken earlier in the year under differing lighting conditions. (I saw him today and told him in future to exposure them correctly!). Come to Kemble tomorrow for a cracking day out!

Just a piece of useless information, but did you know that some Tutors were painted WHITE and red in the original Snowbirds team, as these were actually “Golden Centennaires” aircraft from the 1967 team and they couldn’t remove the paint to take it back to natural metal, so they painted them white and thus the Snowbirds were born! 😉

I wish them the very best of luck and hope they make it okay! If I was flying it, I would be ‘all cocked’ and brown seat! 😮

Lovely pictures Yves, but can we have some more information on this aircraft? What is the civil registration, where is it based and who owns it? I am guessing you are in Switzerland, but perhaps this is the “Red Bull” B-25, as I don’t know of any others airworthy in Europe, except in France and Netherlands.

Thank you, now ive spelt it right i came up with this

Meteor

The Hanges in the backgroud are the ones i can see from the road

I recall a friend trying to photograph this Meteor T.7, which is WF784, in the ’60s and some irate W/O going absolutely ballistic at him for doing it! Happy days! :rolleyes:
Pleased to say it still survives with the Jet Age Collection and in store, possibly at Staverton.

Whilst trekking in ‘Outer Monbedfordshire’ in search of the famous lesser crumpled Spitfire bulkhead identity, and wild strawberries, I happened on a Viscount ‘behind the shed’.

I believe it is still there and I am sure satellite imagery would confirm it. Alternatively any pilot in the circuit at Old Warden might just have seen it.

I do not have a complete shot as such but it is the background of the attached image.

This has got to be the ex Air Inter F-BGNR at Hatch, stored with Skysport Engineering. It was previously at Perth as a training airframe. There were rumours that is was going to be restored and put on display at Gatwick, but as the viewing area is now closed, those plans have probably fallen through.
