We arrived just before 11am, and apart from a few minutes queuing on the A429 down to crossing oncoming training (err – traffic?), easy.

The Kemble Fire dump has a camouflaged Hunter?

I do not know whether any of the ac on my list have survived (I’m sure some have!) but my log book reveals the following as passenger:
Jet Provost XN462
Wasp XT420
Jet Provost 5 XW333, XW415 and XW418

These all survive Ted. The JP3 is in store with the Fleet Air Arm Museum.
The Wasp and JP5 XW333 are flying privately, and XW418 is still in RAF service at Cosford.

HTH,

Two more photos of this aircraft – taken by my father on 12th November 1966!

I see the blue SHAR is still about 🙂

That’s a shame about the JP. I hope it makes it to Cosford tomorrow.

And “Stringbag”, I’ve told you before no T.22’s were preserved cos they’re ugly! 😉 That “nose” only looks good on a Bucc.

😮 Blasphemy 😉

Not even one nose section survives, to my knowledge 🙁

A couple of years ago at Yeovilton Phil Shaw had immense trouble trying to get the Avenger going, but he succeeded eventually!
