I would have thought that whoever has lost their red note book has either claimed it, consigned it to history as ‘lost’, or perhaps doesn’t even frequent this forum ?

One down seven to go (not including Ray Hanna please)

Found it.

Is this the one…..?

Perhaps it is useful to add a link to a thread with preserved Harrier photos: click here

Oh well done that man 😀 😀

I really must learn how to do that linky stuff !! :diablo:

.

Would this be the same one that I heard about whilst collecting a turret from what I recall as being a small holding in Oxfordshire, around 1995?

I was told that the Spitfire project under restoration there had been all but destroyed in a fire but I never heard the full story and I cannot quote a serial or even the owner’s name.

Anyone got more details?

Yes, indeed, it was Peter Woods place in Twyford, Bucks (near Bicester).

I collected a Chipmunk from him (WZ876 G-BBWN) circa 1999, and there were several other Chipmunks, some Jet Provosts, and at least one Spitfire/Seafire inside (along with a few classic cars) with numerous other parts scattered outside.

However, pointing a camera in any direction was frowned upon, and pointing it inside at the cars,Spitfre/Seafire, Typhoon cockpit (ex-Chippenham now with GAC, Staverton) and Merlins/Griffon’s (?) was a no-no. 🙁

No mention in Wrecks & Relics but i recall a news piece in Flypast shortly after (2001 ?) of an arson attack by youths on the buildings, but the Tiffie cockpit had (thankfully) moved on by then. 😀

Presume you are aware of the photo on the rear cover of the current “Wrecks & Relics”. It is credited to Andy Wood – perhaps he has others?

Roger Smith.

😀

And what happened to ZD670 that was in the Trocadero in London?

Its in ~my~ garden !! 😀 😀

The Ashburton Air Museum out here in NZ has a Harrier whose serial I don’t know but it was sourced from gjdservices….

…= GR.3 XZ129
