MH434
How about this one of Ray Hannah in ‘434’ in the early-mid 90s
You may be glad to see her off home soon wildcat, but i will be sad to see her go. i spend quite a bit of time with my 18 month old son ‘hanging around’ that old lightning. However it would be nice to see her benefit from some tlc?? we will both miss her (myself and my son)

we’ve lost so many rare aircraft, any substantial remains we can save should surely be worth the effort! thanx for all the support on this post lads, makes it all worth it. i just wish i could still be a volunteer for the das but travel costs are just too high!
Thankyou texantomcat
The hermes is an important classic airliner being, i believe the first production airliner after ww2. It may not have been as succesful as the trident 1, the vc-10 or the 707, but is still a very important aircraft (fuselage). we have spent many a cold, rainy ,snowy day at Duxford working away to try to show the public this rareity, and i do find it a bit offensive that you find find it a sad inditement. This is your opinion and i fully respect that but please do not lose sght of the fact that we have saved at least a small part of what is a very important arliner. I am pleased and proud to say that i had a part in that

unfortunately she has no seats. This Hermes was used firstly as a cabin crew trainer, and then used sadly for fire crew training. When it is finally opened to the public it will have displays inside featuring archive photos and other parts belonging to the Hermes 4 that crashed in the desert. If anyone knows of any seats from a Hermes please contact me. Its a very very long shot, i know
Hi guys im also looking to get a ‘budget lens’ but cannot decide what to get. I have thought of the sigma 135-400mm lens. I had one on my eos 5 and got some great results ( i think anyway, check my site). But i have also just purchased my first dslr, the nikon d50. So far my landscape pics have come out well but whilst using the nikon 28-80 lens to try and track a motorcycle i found this to be quite difficult. Is this a downfall of the d50?? im hoping to buy a zoom lens 300-400mm in may so anyone who can help with my choice will be a saviour. Thanks guys..
thankyou guys!
it was on a trolley at the time!!!
cheers toby. i didnt know wether maybe in photoshop i could make the instrument panel more predominant in the pic??

Hi Kilvy,
Great photo’s. 🙂
The Hunter is indeed the one from Wycombe Air Park, it was sat at the entrance gate, but unfortunately it leaves behind a rather lonely looking Lightning.
Regards.
