    No need to be insulting. Don’t make me put my Mod hat on!

    If you’re going to post rubbish in here, you should expect to be called on it

    Oh go on, bring out the red typeface!

    I must admit some of these posts have a faint sense of nostalgia about them:rolleyes:

    Sorry, just to clarify then Timsbury is a storage facility for Solent Sky?
    It’s just that the Swift isn’t mentioned on their website, though their stored Scimitar is.

    Apparently it survived the scrappie’s torch as it was owned by the MoD rather than the RAF.

    Yes it was operated by Vickers Armstrongs and used by the MoA for wet runway surface and aircraft braking trials around various airfields in the UK, flown buy some very distinguished pilots such as Dizzy Addicott.

    Nice picture of it here at Cranfield, http://www.airlinefan.com/airline-photos/large/1988513/Royal-Air-Force/Supermarine/Swift-F7/XF114/, note falling over donald Duck on the nose!

    I must be one of the very few that prefers the look of the Supermarine Swift over the Hunter.

    Edit, interesting I have just found this link pertaining to XF114 being for sale, http://www.heritageaviation.com/swift/swift-01.htm, anyone know how current it is?

    Thanks Mk12, I realise that but in my mind I was thinking of the other one – if that makes sense:D

    Agreed, and PZ865 was never silver.

    My mistake, for some reason I thought that PZ865 was first finished in silver before getting the blue scheme.
    I was getting mixed up with another company owned Hurri, L1606/G-AFKX:o

    Nostalgia for me is standing in fields betwixt Porth and Trebelzue in the summer, and imagining what it was like when I first went there 30+ years ago!

    Wouldn’t it be great if just one of the collections that has a Nimrod, just one, would repaint it in the old colours!:)

    Some pics of XL500 while with dowty and flying from Culdrose.
    the boom and support are pretty obvious, ISTR that the pilot was Ken Lamprey, even though LAM Murkin appears on the side!
