I rember the tiger moths at Dunstable in the 1960,s. They where G-AKXS, G-ANFC,
G-AOEL plus one i cant rember. That may be the one that burnt out near the hanger. Also G-AMJF did some towing at one time.

Its nice to see Fairey Battles, My uncle was a photographer with 105/226 sqdn. I also new Bill Carey, who was a crew member of 12sqdn Battle P2332 PH-F. I was in the ATC 460sqdn Dunstable with his son. So i taked to him many times. His Battle crashed on pulling out of a dive, this was not first time a Battle’s engine had cut out on them in a dive. I lost touch of him when his son was killed in a motor cycle accident.

GASYD,
Oh well, thanks for that. Lets hope it not to long. I have to take my Slingsby Kirby Kite1 to Haddenham, Bucks for the village display tomorrow any how.

G-ASEA

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

My first flight in a glider was at Bicester in 1969 in a Slingsby T21.It was the hanger flight,( the last flight of the day). It was raining, the pilot was Col Nelson a voodoo pilot from Upper Heyford. It didnt last long but most enjoyable.

Got mine, as a birthday present. Good to see im still in it.

I think its “Air Road to the Isles” by Captain E E Fresson

Many seamew’s where stored at Beechwood Park, near Markyate Herts during the later part of the war. My father use to go and look at them stored in a field. Their was an airfield with small control hut made out of concrete there. Also two or three seamew’s where in the Percival’s hanger at Luton airport, these where in for radio control conversion, but i dont no if this was carried out.
