Flypastie ingredient mincers?

another consignment of herbal tobacco? the first lot appears to be working well…..

On the crowdline at Dux a few years back, I ‘earwigged’ on a conversation that the guy next to me started with an unassuming elderly gent who was standing nearby. Turned out to be JJ. He took the trouble to answer questions with modesty and politeness – a real gentleman, as other forumites have related.
I suspect it’s not a coincidence that the cereal bar factory resembles a large hanger!

King’s Cup race 1930 and 1931:Can anyone help with trying to find original literature from that race or pictures? My wife’s grandad came 2nd in, I think, 1930 in a DH MOTH60. Any leads appreciated. Thanks

Slowflyer – the book that I mentioned in my previous post – ‘British Racing & Record Breaking Aircraft’ – has a picture on p.211 of D.H.60M Moth serial G-AAXG. The pilot is named as A.S. (Alan) Butler, who was presumably your wife’s grandpa. The year was indeed 1930. Copyright of this photograph in the book is ascribed to Hawker Siddeley – perhaps those nice people at the DH Museum in London Colney may have a lead on how to obtain a print?
Of course, there is always the possibility that this is a ‘stock’ shot of the aircraft and may not relate to the race at all.

Age 9 – 1955 – Heathrow – Dragon Rapide – cost 5 shillings (25p)

Putnams
did they ever get to cover Boulton & Paul aircraft in their British manufacturers series?
I’m trying to fill the gaps in my collection, but can’t find out if B & P were included. If not, can anyone suggest a decent reference book on this company?

John,
I echo the sentiments expressed in the previous posts, this forum would be a lesser place without your considered and knowledgable views.

Mr T6flyer sir
are my sad, old, aged eyes deceiving me, or does the Lightning at Callington have overwing tanks?
