A cleaned up Mk V with a bit more ‘oomph’, a four blade prop, a retracting tail wheel to order and a broad chord late Mk IX/VIII rudder.

I give you the…

Mark XII

Fantastic photo

I used to watch a Prentice fly from Bassingbourne quite offten in the 90’s.. The pilot talked of how it had a severe tendancy to want to drop into a spin all the time, And have to say it looks that way in flight from the ground.
The saying goes ‘If it looks right,it’ll fly right’ … I dont think the Prentice is quite there in the ‘Look right’ department.. :rolleyes:

Whilst work on the Gladiator is priority, work on the Beaufighter continues six days a week! Sorry the wife says seven days!

Does that mean the Seafury is at the back of the que ? Hope not.

Avro’s Finest- I have zero recollection of anything you did or did not contribute, but I do not understand the logic in starting a thread which, in essence, has no subject.

Then why post a pointless post in a pointless thread… twice.

:rolleyes:

I Thought She flew her 25th on the 17th May 1943…. To France…. ? I drive past the main runway at Bassingbourn everyday… Not once without a thought for the boys from the 91st..
