Still looking for Finningley 1973 piccies.

Not quite in the league of the Lightning, but there used to be a story of a Jaguar in about 1970-71, delivered to Lossiemouth where on the same day it was hit by a ground tug, twisting the mainspar and fuselage?

I seem to recollect it never flew again and became an RAF recruiting/display airframe.

Fact or urban myth? Someone out there must know the truth!

I was at Lossie in the early 70’s, and I’m not sure they came up there properly until about mid ’73ish – I might be wrong though – the Sim must have taken a year or so to construct alone.

I don’t recall hearing the story, and as I was in the Comcen, a hatchway from Operations, I’m sure I’d have heard (or more likely read) something.

Was on duty the day one chap, practicing aerobatics for a show in front of ER Mag dropped a sparkly new Jag near the bomb dump. That ruffled a few feathers. He was okay though, I believe – just an inch or two shorter.

Like this, you mean?

I hope “Foxy Lady” is at Yeovilton this year, I haven’t seen her for quite a while now.

A “bad post” reporting mechanism, in my experience, works better than named moderators. Bad post removal should be done without comment, and further posts concerning post removals should be removed (or edited) – also without comment by the owner/webmaster(s) only.

This way “troublemakers” soon disappear, or start behaving themselves if they want to contribute meaningfully.

This particular forum seemed to work so much better before this moderator lark came into being.

This is not to say I am taking offence at any moderator or member of the board. They are simply my points of view.

This is, and will remain, the only post I make on this subject. I haven’t spoken before, and I won’t speak about it again.

A very wild stab in the dark – Pendeford, Wolverhampton!
