I left Crawley in 1975 and haven’t been back there for years. I suspect that the Sycamore disappeared long ago – and that the old adventure playground is now a housing estate! Anyhow photos of the site, as it now is, would be interesting.

Hmm 1975 I was one LoL I will take a wander over there and snap away. Other half on 12 hr shifts at the mo so it will be a good excuse to get the 4yr old Demolition Expert out the house for a bit. So I will have them uploaded on my fotopic site by this time tomorrow evening, no problem especially telling him we’re standing on an old crash site, hes aircraft mad and hes seen the Sycamore at Weston too 😀 Bex

There’s your answer, Bex – I knew SierraEchoFred of our Scandinavian “Aviation Mafia” would come up trumps in the end!

THank you everyone for your help, would any of you mind if I kept you pictures for a future model project? If you want to see what Ive been to recently nip over to the Models forum page and you’ll see my interpretation of 6Sqns XX119 Jaguar in its Kitty Kat colours 😀 Bex

Im sure bex would agree with me on this, but i for one would love to see a couple more canberra’s on the uk circuit, certainly not quite as demanding as a vulcan? 😀

Oh I wont deny it Ben and I reckon most regulars on here know Im a little bit of a Canberra lover 😮 Id love to see more Cranberrys up where they belong thats for sure. AA do a cracking job keeping WK163 up, and I believe theyve also got the blue T4 on her way to getting her “Ticket to the Sky” aswell. However, theres 3 PR9’s that could be on the circuit and theres plenty of complete airframes around that could given the right backing to grace the skies again, Id certainly help, even its just with a paint brush!!!

They might not be Vulcans, but in aerobatics a Cranberry would give XH558 a run for her money. Roland Beamont had a habit of getting a rollocking from the powers that be for doing things “that a bomber shouldnt be doing” LoL

What about the next big thing a Gannet ????

Now that would be very nice…….. yes please 😀 Bex

just need a Lanc to complete the set LOL I wish:D

Not quite Graham, need a Hurricane then your set will be complete :p However, once you have said Hurricane, then gimme a call, and Id love to help u look after it………. D’oh my secrets out, Cranberrys aint my only vice 😉
