    You can Just make her out on google earth also 😉

    There is also the possibility of others being in close proximity to Llanbedr such as Firefly drones,jindiviks etc.
    I remember as a boy,Meteors etc on finals whilst on the beach,the flight path being directly overhead.
    There maybe more?.

    Nice one,web search only came up with the intakes and a mention of two styles of exhaust.
    They had different engines hence the intakes,but no mention of props and windows.
    I want to mark up as MF509.
    Regards

    Im sure you can think of a better idea than a table or a bench?

    I have always wanted to make a coffee table using .50 Browning on a tripod,with a glass top..

    An old work colleague used to paint various things at Hartlebury in the 60,s,he said one warehouse was stacked to the rafters with Irvine flying jackets.
    All sites now are thriving industrial estates,Hartlebury has still got some original RAF style buildings outside the perimeter,in rather poor condition.
    the guard rooms are all used as site receptions and are in great order.
    Last year i had to go to a job at the Sandy lane,Stourport site that was i believe the emergency/reserve aviation fuel depot,with traces of wartime signs,unfortunatly they would,nt let me have any.
    The depot is still in use as a fuel depot for Callow fuels.
    Rushock is a grain store.
    Maybe i should write the book?.

    Ah yes, the good ole saucer. I remember not being able to find a decal in the water, and hours after tipping the water away there it was, stuck fast to the pattern of the saucer… happy days.

    i prefer superscale decals my self.
    my 8 yo son finally decalled his 1:72 airfix hurricane,they all tore,but good practice i suppose.
    im looking at the 1:24 spit mk1…hmmm

    You can tell it’s not a real Airfix. There’s no glue smudges on the canopy.

    ah yes,the ubiquitous(?) thumbprint and the missing antenna

    About 5 years ago,whilst assisting the pyro crew at EK for there night time pyro exellence etc,i asked the flight crew about the possibility of putting jane in the air,and he said it did need substantial re-skinning…
    Oh, i was stood behind it behind the crowd line..oh the prop wash,exhaust flames,smell..nice
