Speaking of Viscount wings, I have a recollection of spotting a set of wings carrying registration G-APPX (a V.702) at Duxford some time in the late 1970s or early 1980s. G-APPX was reportedly broken up at EMA in 1977. I’ve never seen any other reports of these wings being at Duxford so maybe they were just in transit to a final scrapper, unless the DAS was using them as a source of parts.

There’s two more near Barcelona too.

The KC-97s are not there any more, I think. The most recent Google Earth images show them absent from the location at Sant Cugat where they stood for many years.

Then at RAF Cosford museum June 1984 a serial WV156? (not in UK Serials), a German a/c coded IZ+EK, and a Canberra c/p WD931?which is currently being restored…

any help appreciated, regards,

The German aircraft was CASA 352 N9012P as “IZ+EK”. https://flic.kr/p/7YVb3C & https://flic.kr/p/6knkoz

The English version of the name was “Spirit of Foynes” (one “s”). I have a number of slides of the starboard side taken whilst the aircraft was at Killaloe in Co. Clare and will see if any are sharp enough to show the name clearly (the first two words are “Aisling Na” so I just need to confirm the translation of the “Foynes” part).

At least some hangars at Schphol are named after aviation pioneers, I think. Current examples include Hangar 10 “Albert Plesman” and Hangar 14 “Leonardo da Vinci”.

It’s Sean Maffett.
