Just too explain my initial posting which was of genuine concern, the information was passed onto me by a very dependable friend who had been told this by a worried person with connections with Duxford and particularly DAS, for what ever reason he had this belief and from what formulates have said here it seems we have nothing too worry about which is great news.
I would like to say that I feel there is nothing wrong with early speculation in situations like this, if it turns out too be fact then it can often give any interested parties an early advantage in helping save something before too late. How many times have we all thought “if someone had only said earlier I could/would have………”. On the other hand I would never speculate on say the cause of an accident, that is for those with skill and knowledge in authority to determine.

That’s brilliant, thank you, do you know by any chance what it means or stands for? I also wonder how the best way to pronounce it would be?

It is with much sadness that I report that we have lost another of our PP veterans! Stan Dixon was my friend, passenger, navigator and occasional pilot on the last two PP events. A true and unassuming gentleman who never bragged about his RAF wartime and post war RAF career Stan was the perfect company for our PP trips to Staverton and Cosford. We shared the work loaded, his navigation was a sharp as ever, pointing out all the landmarks and former airfields he previously flew from as we crossed the country from Norfolk. He had flown over 100 WW2 sorties as a Blenheim navigator before training as a pilot on Lancs and post war joining up again and flying the world for the RAF, often as the pilot in command for the prime minister of the day.
It was my pleasure, privilege and honour to be part of Stan’s later life and fly him again. I will miss him and the fun we had at the PP events, BLUE SKIES Stan, you will always be in my right hand seat and always be part of the amazing Project Propeller

If you would like to see a bit about Stanley and our first Project Propellor adventure the story is on this website.
