You are not going to be too far from the Museum of Flight at East Fortune, which is in East Lothian and is well worth a visit.

Here are a few photos I took there a few years ago.

Yes, it’s a V1 replica.

Don’t know how I forget to include this one either!

I took this one for the record but it is hemmed in in such a way that a clear photo of the whole aircraft was not possible. The good news is that the Canberra is virtually complete again after reassembly.

It has been returned to its lessor and reportedly will be going to Air Jamaica.

Why not review activity for the time concerned using the “replay” facility on this website. http://casperflights.com/egkk/

That may enable you to see what flights you saw and what their relative altitudes/flight levels were.

Yes, noticed that, together with some shots of early He111s with the stepped windscreen, and a formation of some other unidentifiable aircraft but which did not look like any Luftwaffe type I recognise. The Lancaster footage appeared a number of times in the programme and was so clear that it should surely have been “caught” before transmission.

Accessible on foot but only with a walk. The SAS is around mid-point on runway 10/28 while the Turkish landing image is at the 10 threshold./ If you look on GoogleEarth you should be able to work out roughly where they were taken.

Like that reto livery.
I seem to remember the original stripes were a paler Green though?

You may be correct – certainly, from photos, types like the Viscount appear to have had a lighter shade of green. Maybe they just went for whatever was deemed the closest match available.

Nice 🙂
I believe the retrojet spent its first day on Dublin – Stuttgart.

That’s correct, and it does not seem to have operated any further flights on its return from Stuttgart.

BTW your “Wassmer” is a Ryan Navion, I think.

The ATC being played is from the USA while the film is shot at AMS!

Should have mentioned Gulfstreams to get a certain posters attention! Presumably that grey monstrosity is an Israeli jobby? 😉

It’s a RAF Sentinel (heavily modified Global Express).
