It’s a Cassut Racer IIIM/G-RUNT similar to this one.

Nice work. DH. I notice that ML407 appears to have a new sponsor name on the fuel tank cover?

(Having just looked at the Grace Spit site, it appears so! Thanks HSBC :))

Cant believe they got the Autocrat out! 😮

Not only did they get it out, but as I was leaving, it took to the air. 😮

Plastic, yes (well, GRP), hung, no. It’s a marketing tool for which DX have big plans.

As said, I assumed it was being ‘Hung’ because of all the attachment points. I stand corrected then 🙂

For the past year I have been using a Konica Minolta Dimage Z3, 4.2MP with a 12x zoom, which is the equivalent of a 35-420mm lens on a 35mm camera, and with anti-shake.

Z3 Specs.

So far I have not had any problems using it and if you want to see the type of photos I have been taking with it, have a look HERE. For a non DSLR I think this is probably the largest zoom yuou can get. Hope this helps.

My parents and and two of my brothers still live in the Doncaster area and in all the years I have gone up there for visits, I have not ventured to the Aeroventure. No pun intended, honest. A definate must on my next trip north, I think.

Having asked on this forum how to gain access to the aircraft, would it not have been common curtesy to have posted a few pictures here with a link if anyone wanted to see more. Help may not be forthcoming in the future.

David, the Voodoo to which you refer was obtained as a source of spares to support the one acquired from Alconbury. Anyone who was closely involved in the move of these (as I was at the time) will know that this particular airframe had been very heavily utilised in its role of supporting BDRT.
Be under no illusion it was going to be scrapped and had already had the rear fuselage and wings removed with the aid of a bulldozer – I know because I saw it happen, it was only a last minute intervention which stopped its move to Molesworth and an agreement to move it to the Museum. It has never been classed as a ‘display’ airframe under the terms of a USAF loan and I can assure you everything of consequence, other than the ejector seats was removed before it was loaned to the fire service.
For interest I have included a couple of Photos just after it arrived at the museum to illustrate its condition, also a couple from Molesworth showing what would have happened to it ( and did to the third F101 in the country) one of these shows the remains of the tail of 70270.
Lets not forget the museum paid to move this at considerable cost, the decision to strip it and make use of the cockpit by loaning it to the airport fire service as an emergency trainer was not taken lightly.

I didn’t post any photos of the Voodoo as I had rain spots on the lens.

Not really. MH434 came from the Dutch AF (Klu) and had a rounded rudder. My model has a pointed rudder. This is my dream spitfire. MK IV with pointed rudder and clipped wings 🙂 Does anyone know the difference between spitfire wings? I heard b/c/e wings but what does that stand for? Different shape?

Thanks aj_march for posting the photo.

Not in any way a pretty aircraft but it certainly has a presence!

If I am not istaken, this was the type of aircraft that featured in a Disney film “The Last Flight of Noah’s Ark”. Can anybody confirm that?

I’m sure that’s the one used in the original ‘Italian Job’ film.
