North East Aircraft Museum:

The only F86D in the UK – not only that, its one of the ‘Sabre Knights’ display team (and is slowly being restored to those colours)

The only complete Canberra TT18 still in its target tug colours. (I think its the only one, but I stand to be corrected)

A sectioned Gloster Gladiator engine (cut vertically down the middle – a work of art)

Greek AF F84 (next to the f86D…..

Tail end of a Heinkel 111 in original (crashed) condition

Were they based at Leeming for a while?

I remember them at Teeside Airport airshow in probably ’84 or ’86.

Blue Angels Display at Finningly… awesome – especially the jet which flew directly over the crowd at what seemed like 50ft….

If you’ll forgive the tangent, when did BoB days at RAF stations cease to take place? I remember being taken to various BoB days at Biggin Hill in the 1960s (sadly without a camera of any sort) but I don’t recollect these continuing into the 1970s, much or at all!

Leuchars airshow is now the last BoB display

I was the one in the high viz jacket, waving furiously. Nice beat up on the last run by the way….. No photos – sorry.

Many thanks from all at NEAM! (And my family and neighbours who were dragged outside to watch you…..:D)

Not much happened today at NEAM – I’ve finally got round to the F86D again. The raging bull logo is being applied to the stbd fuselage and should be completed next week. The port side markings will follow. Once the fuselage is painted, the whole thing needs polishing to within an inch of its life. Sometime before my 50th birthday I’d like to apply the ‘USAF’ and stars and bars to the wings…

Neil McCarthy flew his JP at low level over the museum in the early afternoon, dodging storms. He was joined in the cockpit by NEAM’s competition winner.

The lightning has had its replacement jet pipes fitted and looks complete again. Dave and Roy are doing a sterling job.

TTFN:)

Neil McCarthy’s Jet Provost T3 overhead NEAM, Sunderland earlier this afternoon. Apparently it was carrying NEAM’s raffle winner on his jet flight. Two sedate passes followed by a good old fashioned beat-up. Thanks Neil. 😀

part of the rig required to fit a Blue steel missile to a Victor.

how many complete examples are preserved? I know of the one at East Fortune but no others…

That aside, its good news that Bournemouth museum have re-opened. Are they still on airport land?

Its about time that airport authorities realised the benefits of preserving their heritage before they cover it in car parks.

A number have moved on and the Herald was chopped up and the BAC 1-11 faces an uncertain future

No uncertainty about it.

Just out of interest, why is that 1-11 so important? So much fuss has been made over it.

Is this a potential dig, Neil?

I assume the majority of the wreck would have been removed at the time, and any remaining fragments would be long consumed by the landscaping over the area when the houses were built and the colliery was re-developed.

(oh and by the way, I could be there in ten mins……;) )

Daft question….. why not just ring them up? I’ve found them to be helpful in the past.

How about a ‘paint-off’ ? If those bored artists amongst us go head-to-head to represent the aircraft / crew in question it could prove to be at the very least, an interesting exercise. Just a thought. I don’t doubt for a minute that the eventual commission will go to a professional artist at a large premium.

Try this forum’s aviation art thread: http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=75003
There are several good artists who would accept a commission. Paul C instantly springs to mind, as well as ‘unsigned’ artists (ie. me!) 😀

Take your pick! The guild of Aviation Artists (http://www.gava.org.uk) is always a good starting point too.
