    Yellow/Black was very much the order of the day for Target Towing aicraft.
    If you look at the fuselage band and compare with the underside colour you will find they match.

    Time plays havoc on the memory cells, Now where the hell did I leave the wife? (answers on a post card please).

    Did you get a shot of the Canberra in the background?

    Couple more from the depths of the archives.

    Both taken in the days before I could afford a half decent SLR.

    Geoff,

    I have (somewhere in the attic archive) a guide dated around the late 70’s.

    All the aircraft mentioned in your post are included along with ‘potted’ histories.

    pm me with details if you want it posting down.

    Bad news. Thoughts go out to Scotts family and freinds at this time.

    Had the honour of meeting the man some years ago – a true unassuming gent.
    Yet another of my childhood heroes no longer with us.

    Clear blue skies always Scott, and thanks for so many memories.

    Looking back through previous sales on e-bay, this guy has sold a hell of a lot of Tangmere related stuff. What was a valuable (historically) collection broken up for a few quid

    As with other posters, I really believe it should be back at the museum.

    Wouldn’t it be great if someone where to buy it an donate it ( that is give) it back to the museum.

    Neil,

    Letter on route to Chief Planning Officer. As Peter has said an e-mail address would be nice (if only to make sure he gets the message).

    Good luck mate.

    Must admit it will be a hell of a journey from Berkshire to Cumbria, but at least she will will be given loads of tlc and will be enjoyed by many that have not seen a Lightning for some years. unless nipping over to Yorkshire (Elvington and Aeroventure)

    Though I never met Steve, It is obvious that he had a profound effect on everyone he met and that he is ( and will always be) held in the highest regard.

    For that I raise my glass and salute you.
