Also, any news on the ‘Gipsy Swift’, VH-ACC ?
OO-EOT is planning to attend the Air-Britain Classic Fly-In at North Weald over the weekend of 21-22 June. The other 1947 Tipsy aircraft (and other Classics) are more than welcome to join us there. Spread the word!
I would love to have dropped in with G-AISA. Sadly though, I’m working that weekend. 🙁
Hi all,
Some of the money brought in by the sale of Proctor SE-BTR has been spent on the purchase of Miles Gemini G-AISD, since yesterday based at the same strip from where the Proctor was collected.
Congratulations. Now all we need to do is to arrange some fly-out where four consequtive 1947 aeroplanes; G-AISA, G-AISB (now OO-EOT), G-AISC and G-AISD can congregate!!
Can’t remember where I got it from, so apologies for not crediting the photographer. 😮
I understood it was Mark driving (but from evidence below it wasn’t!). A print used to grace the wall behind Ray and Mark’s desks in the OFMC portacabin at Duxford in the 1990s.
Beautiful. Which engine are you using, is it a Walter Mikron II ?
Still maybe the operator of the Belfast(s) will need them? :diablo:
Likewise, I was wondering whether there was a link between this ground running and the sudden outbreak of activity on the Belfast at Southend? 😉
Sad but probably inevitable.
Amazing she’s survived this long.
This pic was taken back in 1974!
Will it be at …………aaaaaargh!:diablo:
Blooming brilliant!
Congratulations to Paul and Sarah on all their hard work.
As for you Bod…. Like father like son………:D
This thread’s had more bumps than some of TTs landings!! 😀
Sadly well ‘clagged in’. 🙁
Did anyone make it to Fenland. I tried checking their webcam but it was in ‘stealth’ mode!
Brilliant!
Here’s another, slightly different one from the 1930s……
Congratulations Mr. Blue Sky. A brilliant thread this.
Wouldn’t it be great to arrange an exhibition of this art. Any volunteers to assist?
Here are a few from an earlier era, from the pages and covers of 1930s Popular Flying Magazines. The cover artist was Howard Leigh, the protege of Capt. W. E. Johns.
Happy to assist. Based Bicester but a regular at Sywell!!
Drop me a PM or an e-mail thingy
Hoping to make it with G-AISA.
Weather reports don’t look too promising sadly. 🙁
