I guess the last pic was the start of your formation practice Ozplane. The two Rapides looked lovely against that pink sky!

Sorry we didn’t get the chance to talk, we were right behind you, but too busy swinging propellers!

Here is what I’ve turned up on G-AJSL

Low’n’slow does THIS picture ring any bells? Link at http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=26678 (first pic, captioned “slightly unwell Dragon Rapide”)

Scroll down to pic #7 for a clearer view of the damage to G-AJSL following its “nose over” incident

Yes, those pics don’t half bring back some memories. Not least spending a sleepless niight in the Valetta ‘bunk room’ ahead of my first parachute drop!!

Nice to see ‘Wellie’ the 172 as well, although I did most of my flying at the time in its near sister G-AWGE at Teesside. I never did get a chance of a go in Sunderland Flying Club’s Victa Airtourers though.

Thanks Doc!

Withdrawn from use.

Well ********d up ? :diablo:

Great to hear of ‘JSL’s survival. As a teenage ‘hangar brat’ back in 1970/71, I spent some time clambering around it after it groundlooped and nosed over on landing aftere lifting skydivers at Sunderland. I was once told by the owner of the hangar “If you want it and you come with a truck, you can have it.”

Needless to say, I couldn’t come up with my side of the offer and always feared the worst for the aeroplane after that.

It’s an Avro 504N or ‘Lynx Avro’ as they were often known at the time.

They were the main RAF elementary trainer until 1933, then a number were sold to operators such as National Aviation Days.

Basically the airframe is a WW1 Avro 504K, updated by replacing the rotary engine with the Armstrong Siddeley Lynx radial. The rather strange-looking cantilever undercarriage was I believe devised to allow the same pick-up points to be used on the fuselage, as the earlier models.

The complete aeroplane is a replica 1914 Royal Aircraft Factory BE-2c (see Biggles Biplane web link below….)

Paul’s latest welding project is the fuselage frame of a Fokker DR-1 Triplane

We also helped decorate the Light Aircraft Association marquee with this Austin Seven / Clutton FRED combination!!

Wonderful! Says it all!

This picture unearthed from the de Havilland Moth Club archive (Fairoaks 1938) shows such an occasion from the instructor’s view!
