Very good Ollie, it must be a shock to the system seeing these photos and accounts in writing.

Am I right in thinking that the Sultana Brunei was involved in financing the film at all?

10 Group’s ORB and its appendices (AIR 25/186 for 1943) are invaluable for giving a big picture perspective on operations. Squadron ORBs are (sometimes) good on the who, what and when, but weak on the “why?”

However they are “Operations” record books and generally record only operational activity. As far as Staff officers like Geoff Warnes are concerned they will generally only record his posting in and out, but give little detail as to what he was doing while there.

Is there something specific you’re looking for – I may have an answer somewhere in my notes?

Hi Niall

I’m gradually piecing together Warnes career; I would be interested to find out what his main duties were with 10 Group. Peter Brothers met Warnes several times during his term with 10 group, the one thing that Peter recalls is Warnes rather peculiar habit of tapping his contact lenses with the tip of a pencil, while he was thinking. He left 263 Sqn for 10 group on or about 15 June 1943 and returned to 263 Sqn in December.

Thanks Dave

Could this be down to the individual Groups, as it is to the Sqn ORB’s some are more enlightening than others ???

Mark, looking at the various shots that I have of “BM597” at Hednesford and Bridgenorth, I note that the prop spinner was painted in a dark colour at Hednesford, however at Bridgenorth it’s yellow. It’s quite possible that it was repainted or swapped at Bridgenorth as the the back plate to the spinner is black in the photos by D M Hannah. Could it be that the two have been confused as I note that AR614 has a light coloured prop hub in this shot, though it doesn’t appear to be painted silver.

I must admit it looks more like a Stalag POW camp than an RAF Camp, I suppose that was National Service for you.

Another shot, this maybe 597, though from the quality of the photograph I am unable to be certain, it looks like the aircraft has 6 exhaust stacks rather than the 12 of 120.

I can think of a wannabe Hurricane author who has also shown an interest in cockpit restorations who may jump at the chance to acquire this as a starting point for his next project.

Three shots to add to yours Peter, Two of BM597 (one with Meatbox) and one of another as yet unknown Spitifre, but all taken between 1950 and 1955.

That AN-72 is a pain in the ****,, I had my first ever go-around courtesy of that!

That thing was parked on the apron here in Jersey, along side an Atlantique ATR, the other day. I’m not one to stop and stare at aerobuses normally, but I must admit I had to pull into the carpark to have a closer look.
