Air-Britain (I think) published a full list of these company callsigns a few years back. I’ll have to see if I can find it. The tower at Yeovil used the callsign Judwin Tower until quite recently when it changed to Yeovil Tower. I had always presumed that Judwin was the local geographical name until I read the list. Warton still use the Tarnish c/s for Typhoons etc. Trivia maybe but fascinating all the same!

If that’s an original edition, I should it buy it now! If a reprint, it’s not a bad price. Can’t find any on Abebooks.

Soon after D-Day, there were mass flights of a dozen or so L-4s across to Normandy, accompanied by a Walrus in case of a mishap.

Phil Butler has pointed out to me that there is photo of what is probably the same Boston on page 198 of his Air Arsenal book. It is of BZ201 at Boscombe Down in Dec 1943 during trials of the rocket projectile installation. It has the number “6” painted on the nose, indicating the 6th aircraft from contract DA-934. If the mystery aircraft is indeed BZ201, the 6 must have been painted out.

More bits of the Mickle Fell Stirling seen in 1973. I presume these are among the recovered bits at Stafford.

It was the same photo in Epics of AA and I wrote that particular chapter at Bruce’s request.

Cockpit Fest, Andy? Maybe, but it wasn’t at Legends …:diablo:

I took this photo at Southend in Aug 1960. The most attractive Superfreighter scheme I thought. I know it’s not a colour shot but it was the standard rather nice mid blue Sabena scheme of that time. (Fin and fuselage stripe.) There should be colour pics around of other Sabena types of that era to compare. I recently bought a 1/400 scale model of a Sabena CV440 and I think the shade of blue is accurate as I remember it.
