    I’m sure that there are references and maybe even photos, in Stuart McKay’s excellent book on the DH60 Moth, although I haven’t got a copy to hand.

    It may also be worth contacting Stuart at the de Havilland Moth Club. [email]dhmoth@dhmothclub.co.uk[/email]

    I seem to remember seeing a ‘Luton Major’ in the early seventies which was a widened Minor, still open cockpit but side by side seating. It was just a scaled up Minor and not tandem like your photos.
    Now what could that have been?
    Jim

    Yep. That’s the Luton Duet. Not really a product of Luton Aircraft or its successor Phoenix Aircraft Limited. One example was built G-AYTT.

    Click on this link for some seasonal pics of the aeroplane last Christmas!

    If so, do you think they would be looking for an experienced Part 145 Chief Engineer who is a Licenced Engineer (BCAR and EASA Part 66) with multiple type ratings including big pistons (radials and V-12’s) and wood-and-fabric, an A&P, and a piston-multi flying licence, who happens to have 8 1/2 years maintenance experience on type?

    Actually. I think there are people at Coventry who fulfill all of those criteria! 😉

    Like you, I hope that their optimism and hard work will one day pay off. It would be marvellous to see and hear a ‘growler’ in the air once again.

    Yes, I think the KKH is clear. Also, I saw it at Tollerton in 1959. It was decorated in day-glo at that time!

    (Thankfully) back to a more refined cream and blue livery today!

    John Aeroclub. What was the last registration letter of
    Gemini. My records have me flying G-AKKD at some time, as well as KHK, IHM, KHY, KEL and KGE. My ffirst instructional flight was in Magister G-AJDR which I believe finished up at Shuttleworth. I also flew a hooded Maggie G-AIUF and Mesenger G-ALAP.

    I suspect it is G-AKKH. Still going strong, based at Bicester and owned by regular Shuttleworth display pilot Sir John Allison.

    Great to see his name being remembered.

    Thanks for putting up the post Plane Space.

    Jenna.

    PM or e-mail me and I’ll get you in touch with a suitable contact.

    The Northamptonshire Aero Club continues in a very small way at Sywell, made up of private owners who base aeroplanes there.

    The Northamptonshire School of Flying was the resident flying club until it moved to Sibson about three years ago. The main flying club on site at Sywell is now the Brooklands Flying School, operated by the airfield owners.

    Many thanks for the photographs ! the airfield hangars and slope look like Kirton-In-Lindsey ?

    It is. A PFA fly-in I seem to recollect. It was a transparency offered on e-bay.

    The other pictures of G-ASAA are from a fly-in to the rugby fields that are just to the west of Boston in Lincolnshire. The chap in the cockpit was a USAF F-105 pilot gaining his first fix of vintage open cockpit flying!
