Just thinking out aloud, was the Wyvern unique for a British prop driven aircraft in having a machmeter?

Travel costs are a major issue these days, no matter where you live – I think this is the first year that I haven’t gone to any air shows or visited any museums.

Great project Rob, I remember suggesting a cockpit mock-up to you ages ago when you seemed less than enthused about the idea – glad that you have actually gone ahead with it.

A squadron of 60 aircraft? Is it me or are the figures changing all the time?

Same here, but assumed it was from a 737 along with the eingine intake?
Are there differences between 727,& 737 (even 707) cockpit structures?

Definitely. Still a fair way to go in other areas though, but I can’t think of very many better places for the drawings to go.

Or indeed the aircraft?!

Only just caught up with this, and again blown away by Tims rather modest postings about another aspect of his flying career!
Tim, is there a reason why the the axis types don’t have their serial numbers logged, censored by you, or for you perhaps?

Interesting to think DACT was being undertaken as far back as WWII.

About 6-8 years ago there seemed fairly hard humours that WR963 would be moving to St Mawgan back then (came to nowt obviously!), was a serious study looked at to breaking it down and transporting it then? I realise much has changed since.

The ironic thing for me is that the two most appropriate aircraft at Coventry that would be suited to St Mawgan is the Shack and Nimrod.

but my favourite was always Britains farm models.

Same here, loved the Britains tractors which I usually got at Christmas from a rich farmer friend of the family. Strangely I looked on EBay the other day to see if you could still get them.

I was also lucky to get the latest Dinky diecasts when I was younger as an uncle worked for the company, must have been in the Liverpool area.
I remember their Police and fire Transit vans being particularly good and I think a Ford D Series road sweeper, the quality seemed to have gone down hill after that with a USS Enterprise that fired yellow pucks.
Unfortunately I either destroyed or buried (don’t ask!) the stuff.

I have a now fairly small stash of old aircraft kits, which I have a horrible feeling will never be built!

That would make a lot more sense on the face of it.

It’s a Shackleton T.4 (ex MR.1), only operator at that time (apart from VP293 flying with the RAE Farnborough) was MOTU at St Mawgan. Believe the airfield was West Malling.

They are Leonides, they leak oil even when there’s none in them!

I would think DoRIS at the RAFM at Hendon is your best bet, they hold drawings of aircraft, equipment, and airfields that the AHB & TNA passes on to them.

Some pictures of ‘FG, for a 54 year aircraft that doesn’t fall immediately in the classic stable, it is in remarkable condition.
