They also used Sea Hawks and Hunters! Also it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect British operated versions to be found of the Dutch coast.
I can’t place it immediately for those three types, but funny that you should mention Supermarine as my first thoughts when I saw the pics and before reading the text was something like Attacker/Swift or Scimitar intake area – but wrong group for them.

Definitely not Jim, 1350 is a 800 – 1650 bhp twin row 14 cylinder lump

That’s funny, I thought Saturn was round (or spherical), the shadow seems to be a straight line? Maybe Lord Lucan took the photo from the moon where he’s been hiding for the last 2-3 decades 😀 (conspiracy theorists will make hay)

No, depends on the suns position, think about the physics, the widest part of the planet and its shadow is cast across a flat disc, any sort of thickness in the rings (from that distance!) is an optical illusion. Try it with a record, halved tennis ball, and a strong lamp if you have time on your hands!
Think like Earth, long shadows in winter, short ones in the summer, and don’t forget that Earth casts a shadow big enough to fall across our moon.
Even with a smaller and curved shadow the same effect could be seen, due to angles and perspective from where the image is taken.

This is a pic taken by the Cassini missions in Jan ’07

Don’t encourage them Deano!:rolleyes:

Unsure Rob, my guess is that there would have only been some kind of preparation hangar, to prepare aircraft for flight test and delivery after the short ride from Yeovil.

Only just been able to view the pics here, fantastic shots Seamus!

Was it deleted, or ‘lost’ to the broken search function?

Sky High. Pete. in all the time I have known you, I have never seen you on the forum this late, something grabbed your attention?.;)

And how has the thread turned into the most popular on this forum, five pages in 24 hrs, with people posting here that rarely do.
Historic aviation subjects don’t even get this attention here!
Probably because it’s all a bit ‘naughty’ and controversial, however it won’t reflect on the forum well.

I also like this silly notion that this is all down to Stephen Fry, during commission a movie script has to satisfy producers, directors, studios, financiers, share holders etc, and that is before it has to be released and make as much money as it can. Anyone who thinks a film is foremost made in any kind of memory to crews and history and then the takings is misguided.

Baz puts it well, who cares, there will be other changes from fact than this.
Personally I will be amazed if the film is ever completed.
