    Damien B and Man on the Fence took some fantastic photos of Sealand ( plus all the other Thames Estuary Forts) some time back from the original Haircraft ( now sold…) and posted them on this forum.

    A memorable day!

    Time for a mass attack by the Shuttlewaffe this spring perhaps? :diablo:

    A serious reality check for those who think that these aeroplanes maintain themselves I think!!

    Fred’s lack of underarm deodorant was beginning to cause his crew some concern 😮

    By the way, isn’t that TT second from the right??

    Can’t add anything on the provenance, but as its such a ruddy awful wet evening, what about a caption competition.

    I’ll start with this one.

    Hi Steven

    Good to see your posting and I’m just so glad the museum’s fighting back after the fire.

    I’ll never forget the cheerful welcome I received about ten years ago when I loomed up out of the darkness at about 3pm on a January Saturday afternoon, convinced the Museum would be closed.

    Come to think of it, apart from the volunteers I was the only visitor, which makes the welcome even greater!

    Good luck with the fundraising!!

    It would be interesting to see a few of their Pushpak.

    Then you can come and have a go in BXTO to compare!! 😉

    Just goes to prove that one should never rely on one’s memory Steve! :rolleyes:

    A couple more for Firebird of ‘696 at each end of the display at Greenham. Time to check for those loose rivets?

    Finally, I have no notes for this one, but I suspect its an 11 Squadron aeroplane, maybe departing at the end of a Finningley display??

    Nice Pics L&S
    do you have any of an earlier vintage that feature Channel Airways aircraft?

    Haven’t been able to find anything (yet) though still looking. I seem to remember that they were similar to the NE Tridents but were they pink instead of yellow??

    Or am I getting confused with those Court Line shockers? :rolleyes:

    Anyway hope these keep you going…..

    Correct on both counts. 😎

    A further dig into some notes from the time confirms it (I seem to have been more organised as a teenager than I am now!). Both Shackleton WR977 and the VC10 (XR808) were displayed at Finningley 21.9.1974.

    For some reason that BoB display was the weekend after Leuchars – not that I was complaining! Happy days!

    Now RAF Leuchars Battle of Britain display, September 1974.
    (check out the Lightnings in the background, preparing for their ‘streamer’ take-off – no wonder I got hooked!:D
