    If you can’t buy ’em you could make your own:

    Take one length of 4 inch drainpipe……….

    😀 😀

    And it’s hangar not hanger.

    In my opinion it is neither a hanger or a hangar it is an exhibition building.

    In the event that he is continuing research for further museum books Bob Ogden may perhaps now have info on this.
    The snail-mail address in his new European Museums book is:
    13, Western Avenue, Woodley, Berkshire, RG5 3BJ. if you should want to write to him.

    Papa Lima – Must say its refreshing to have a thread with substance and interest at the moment! Top marks for your efforts!

    very much agreed, Roger Smith.

    Such a weighty responsibility to be borne by such a tiny (comparatively) aeroplane. MiG 21 representing the whole of the Soviet bloc air forces during the Cold War 😀 😀

    AJM, I read it in the article that his ‘prank’ was to dive onto one of the bombers to see if the gunner was awake. But it’s too late at night for me to be awake – I not going back to read it again 🙁

    Landraver, trying to dodge the spell police, the current “Wrecks & Relics” says

    “A visit in November found the former mill bereft of airframes, all reported sold off ‘around Easter time’. To clear up the listing: JetRanger G-OBAY (last noted September 2002); Pegasus Q microlight (January 1999); SE.5A scale REP ‘A4850’ (August 1999).”

    You will presumably have now worked out from JonathonF’s reworking of ‘Python’s Parrot sketch ‘bereft’, in this context, means ’empty of’.

    ……oh and Super Sioux surely your ‘an Hanger’ should read ‘an hanger’.

    Botany Bay village, Chorley is on page 94 of “Wrecks & Relics” saying that, as at last November, the site was “bereft of airframes”.
    The helicopter that had been there was JetRanger G-OBAY.

    I have contacted both US and European publishers. Their estimates of sales are anywhere from 800 to 4000 copies. No publisher will take anything on with sales projections of less than 5000. Consequently I spent over 40 years gathering data that will most likely will never be available in complete book form. Patrick

    That includes Air Britain?? just a thought,

    This clashes with a programme on ITV (Central?) “How London Was Built” by Adam Hart-Davis on “a look at the development of civil airports , from the early days….”

    I’m out this evening and can only video one 😡
