Agree with your dark green, but thought it was dark sea grey with it. Dont forget dark sea grey appears medium (Lightnings, Javs, Hunters etc), and extra dark sea grey (FAA types, Shack) appears dark grey (with smallest hint of blue).
Isnt medium sea grey the unique colour they used on upper surfaces of camo scheme Victors?
Yellow, I assumed this to be the same as that applied to Seakings.
I know someone who was a 7sqn techie, and I know someone else on Seakings, so can ask (will take abit of time) for you?
Is your tug an ex St Mawgan aircraft?

Excellent sequence of pictures, cant see how that is in any way ‘the easy bit’. If the RAF only did that once with the equipment, hangarage, and personnel at their disposal, on a relatively good condition airframe, then I think 603 would be almighty struggle!

Cracking Vulcan website that, and glad you bought it to our notice.

Excellent set of pics there!
Its really encouraging to see british post war aircraft getting the attention and work that they deserve.
I didnt realise that any of the new 190s were over here either.

One of my earliest aviation memories involves Vulcans. When I was young,in the late ’70s, a four ship of Vulcans did a mock airfield attack on St Mawgan. They came in below cliff top height north of Watergate, climbed a little before going low level across the airfield. I can remember the smoke and noise as much as the aircraft itself.
I also remember a 44 Sqn aircraft being the display Vulcan for a while, always thought that one was more representative of what a they looked like in service more than XH558.

And the Spit pilot would be deafened, apparently the sound of a Bear is fairly loud (and nuisating) to an F-14 pilot!

Great men, in a great flying machine at great event, tragedy indeed.

I heard the Patroille Suise commentator saying that the team were performing a ‘Derry turn’ at Yeovilton this year.

One of my best pals was at the event and witnessed it, the confusion was such that he didn’t really know the severity of the accident, and was worried that his motorbike (that he needed to get back to Cornwall) might have been damaged by wreckage.
Years ago my Granparents used to live in Buckinghanshire, next door to a family that were orphaned by the crash.

those DH-110s were amazingly modern and sinister looking aircraft, especially in the all black scheme.

Has anyone here read the book on Derry (by his wife I believe)?
Also there was a brilliant programme on BBC2 a few years back, had great footage of Derry and test pilots of the era.

Hear hear, Adrian for bringing it to our notice

I would love to see that preserved, best British post war piston type IMO.
Thanks for info.
Looks like ex Flambards Sycamore behind it.
