I’d thought exactly the same thing, Moggy. No doubt we can expect a knock on the door from the thought control militia.

As the M77 Sparrowjet, G-ADNL won the 1957 Kings Cup race painted in a white gloss finish with dark blue registration marks and a black race number 92 on the fin ( according to my Putnams).

Has anybody got the gen on whether the Air/Super-Hanger will be repaired and reopen by this Sunday, as I may be heading out that way with some non-aviation friends. I know that there’s lots more to see, but I would be reluctant to take them with the main attraction (for non-aero people) off limits. The website has no further news at the moment.
Also I notice no Autumn show this year, is this a permanent deletion or just because they’ve got 3x 2-day events, with the September show back a week to coincide with BoB weekend ?

My response to these calculations appearing in a GD forum is – if it’s that easy, why hasn’t somebody done it ?

Stearman is correct, Axel – if you need any tips for the cockpit picture, all I will say is that you could probably wear trainers flying this aircraft (and for those of you who know the answer, apologies for the terrible pun).

I remember a Sycamore displaying at Old Warden in the 70’s- can anyone recollect the number , and where is it now, if extant?

Dan, nice idea. When I was young I bought a LP vinyl of “aircrafts sounds…anyway how to convert into mp3 ??cheers olivier

There are some modern, fairly low quality turntables that are capable of effecting this – about£100 – that’s probably the easiest option.Otherwise you’ll need a ‘conventional’ turntable and a kit containing leads and appropriate software to load onto your computer – Maplins do one for about £20.

Without reference to any sources of info, I would hazard a guess that the tail boom belongs to a Merlin helicopter. The multi-bogied undercart suggests one of those big Antonov jobbies – am I heading in the right direction ?
