Super. Reminds me of when we would get the occasional lowflying authorisation. Can’t remember the height limitation, could have been 300 ft, but Joe reckoned that didn’t apply over the sea.

So, it was off down to Bawdsey at the mouth of the Deben, turn port about 100yards off shore and then swan up to Lowestoft at about 180 knots looking at life on the beaches from sea level. Then it was back inland at the briefed height back to Whatashame, made a bit of light relief from high level PIs and cine.

At the risk of boring others, here am I circa 1953

and again

I guess our kit was little different from that used in 1945

Determining single engine safety speeds was always a necessary, and interesting, experience.:D

Thanks very much, a very good display. Surprised at how prominent that rad flap is.

What is missing in that drawing is the sideview of the top escape hatch. That makes the framing appear much cleaner than in reality.

I would like to see a Freighter, but doubt that it is possible. I have fond memories of watching the early efforts of Silver City at Lympne in 1947? As well as Silver City Air Lines they had a French offshoot SCAL.
They reputedly employed ex night fighter pilots and I well remember all three aircraft of the combined fleet being repositioned to Lympne one evening. They arrived in a tight vic and performed the regulation break and landing.

Congratulations to all concerned,

And thanks for the pics and video link

Sorry to stray off topic, but, do any of you experts know where I could get an indicator unit for AI Mk10.
