    Looks like Bombus Humilis to me, too.

    I hope you fed it, watered it and accorded it all due rights under the Geneva Convention, Ian. 😉

    After posing for a few shots with the macro facility on the wife’s 70-300 it was removed to the garden and placed on a suitable flower by our pond, where it promptly fell off and drowned.

    Only kidding 🙂

    Can you be a bit more specific as to what you are looking for ?

    I like your definition of the South West. But, that’s up to but *excluding* Bridgwater, I presume? Or the Town of the Living Dead, as I knew it.

    We came through Bridgewater on our way back from Devon, via Axemoor and Minehead, I can confirm that it is exactly the same, the only difference is the smell !!!!

    Funnily enough to keep this topic on an aviation keel, there was a rumour a few years ago about a number of ex ATC Hawker biplanes buried on the old municipal rubbish dump at Minehead. This, I believe, now forms part of the main road into the town.

    I was in Devon the week before last, Barnstaple, Ilfracombe and Lynton for a day. Place was full of people with six fingers, webbed feet and beards, and that was just the women. 🙂

    Yes, we used to have forum meets but those that met were accused of being a clique.
    So they cleared off and formed their own forum.

    This place is the poorer for that.

    Ahhhh those were the days, fond memories.

    Mind you forum meets happen on a regular basis, if you know where to look or go.

    We could have lots of party games, such as :- Spot the GD personality, pin the ink stain on the anorak or a serial/registration swap meet.

    This aircraft appears to have de Havilland props rather than Rotol or Hamilton so would this make it a BIII

    I don’t see a ‘T’ on it anywhere. Or am I missing something (more than likely!) ?

    Look over the shoulder of the rather tall airman on the right. On the rear fuselage of the aircraft you can just make out what appears to be a ‘T’, this is the individual code for this aircraft on this Squadron.

    I knew there would be a good reason to bank with them!!

    It’s nice to know that the huge amount of mortgage interest that I pay goes to a good cause.
