607 RauxAF
Hi there,
Yes, ‘N’ was WH225 and ‘R’ was VW439. 607 had four Meetbox T7’s but only two at any one time. WF833 was one but still don’t have a code for her…??
Thanks for the photo’s, much appreciated…
Phil.
WF833
What a brilliant photograph!!! Yeah, I will be in contact with them shortly. Does anyone know any more about her in RAF (607 RauxAF) service??
Thanks again SierraEchoFred, much appreciated.
Phil.
Cheers for that but is there no JP nuts out there who can supply some shots of her in her earlier days also?? The reason I ask is I am researching her history to put her back in an early scheme which you don’t really see on any aviation museum aircraft…
SE-CAS
Brilliant, but does anyone have any pictures out there?? I have also looked at that link for airliners net SierraEchoFred, so good hunting!! Would be good to have closer shots of her!!
Cheers,
Phil.
The list is (not) long and distinguished – So is my….
erm….here goes…
Chipmunk T10
Dove 8
Lightning F53
Phantom FGR2
Canberra TT18
DC3 Dakota
Twin Pioneer
Anson C19
Percival Prentice T1
Tornado F3
XL620
Side views of this aircraft can be seen on a sight by Simon Glancy at
XL620 & XL605
Sadly XL620 is now just a nose section on the fire dump at Guernsey Airport…. XL605, her sister-ship from 66 Sqn is now being prepared to fly once again down Exeter. Would be nice if they paint her up in 66 Sqn colours!!!
Elvington Future
I’m glad the planning permission was turned down, Elvington has come a long way to be upturned like that. Well done to all you guys who are keeping Lindy in such fine fettle!!
Probably see her at next airshow next year….
Phil.
Elvington’s future??
Hi all on this thread,
Heard a rumour that Elvington may give way to building development, is this true?? Hope not for Lindy’s sake!!!
Phil:mad:
Any other Aircraft??
That covers the Gannet, but what about other aircraft on site?? I heard there may be a Vampire T11 and possibly a Bucc cockpit??
Errol’s Aircraft??
Does anyone know of the current status of the ex military airframes that are/were at Errol? The Gannet looked to be in pretty bad shape last time I seen her on photo’s!!
Hi there,
If TEXANTOMCAT cannot help try Martin Slater at CFS Aeroproducts, Coventry Airport (Part of the Atlantic Group). He deals with many classic props including the P51…
Phil.
Hi there,
As far as I know she is still operating with Embrear.
Might be worth calling someone else at the same company??
Phil.
I am surprised you think this isn’t covered well. I assume you are aware of Action Stations 7 by David J Smith, Airfields of North-East England in the Second World War by Martyn Chorlton, Milfield, not just an airfield… by Alan Evans and Northumberland Aviation Diary (and its supplement) by Derek Walton. There are undoubtedly other books, but these are just a few I’m aware of.
Incidentally, Charterhall is in Berwickshire (ie Scotland), not Northumberland (ie England) and has already been covered in two different editions of The Charterhall Story by Jack Thompson.
I do have these books but I still think that there has not been many photo’s published on this area compared with the rest of the UK, It would be great to see a lot more!!!
