    Pagen 01 has wrapped it up, although he did not read the question for No.1!

    Apologies, I cut n pasted the pics to answer them!
    DHC-5 C-8 would be what the QSRA was derived from as mentioned prior to me.

    Pretty sure that 10 is the 321 Super Frelon rather than the 3200 Frelon which had a less ‘boat hull’ like fuselage.

    Interesting and varied quiz thanks, anymore coming?

    Only just seen this programme for the first time tonight, very good.
    We had an odd notam at work one day advising about a helicopter dropping a large glider, it wasn’t until I saw it on TV tonight that I realised what it was about!

    The Neil Armstrong programme mentioned by Bennyboy was absolutely superb, nice to see a programme cutting through all that b/s that yiu eusually see about the later part of his life.
    What a guy.

    The wing tips were removed almost immediately and are out of this shot…..possibly an important picture therefore.

    I might be misunderstanding you here, but apart from brief occassions of maintenance/movement surely XF708 has always had its wingtips fitted?

    It amazes me that know one wanted the Meteor F.4 enough for it to remain at Duxford or even the UK.

    Lovely old shots, the Gannet looks freshly arrived – is that the case would you know?

    Nice to see BEA liveried Dragon Rapide G-AHGD, it sadly crashed in 1991 at Audley End.

    Good suggestion, and very similar layout, maybe it was a development of it I saw.
    It was very distinctive with the large four bladed props, and have an idea that it was maybe limited production or a one off.

    Has to be said, that is not only a great resource, but the engines are superbly photographed.

    Superb shots, thanks for sharing. I’ve always admired the Swedish collections and Historic Flight and it always surprises me just how many aircraft types that they have operated over the years.

    I remember seeing a Starship at the terminal at St Mawgan in the late ’80s, possibly N1508S above – will dig out my slides.

    We had another unusual American civy turn up, mid-wing twin turboprop with what seemed like very large propellers, I still haven’t determined what it was!

    I believe the collection at Brooklands holds some company records, inc some log books, there is someone on the forum here connected to the collection.

    I would also try the BAE archive collection at Farnborough.

    Can’t add any info, but what a fantastic picture, really encapsulates RAF ground attack force of the era.
