They are just so sllllllllloooooooooowwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do agree with the sentiments posted above, great aircraft that would be sadly missed. The type in general I mean, there was one with a pair of dart turboprops kicking about for a while.

Thanks for posting the link, unique 6 bladed contrarotate’r and a Griffon.
They have big balls to put that in a 2 seater, what a driver!!!!!!!!!!

Thank’s for the heads up.
I once met a man from Eire who worked at the Ruskie end of this op, he was a farmer with a sense of fair play and humor.
As an author you must take in a bit more than Mr Average, I would like to know more about air ops over there in WW2.
The cannon in the Bell Cobra’s must have made an impact point somewhere.
Whats in a tail number anyway? :stupid:
Ok thanks Mike I fully appreciate all the informative (and sometimes highly entertaining) posts that the members of this forum are good enough to provide.
I am sure there must be a flight sergeant fitter somewhere who can work out how it was done.
Will Mr Weeks be having flat panel displays and D+D on the tempest?
The Typhoon is indeed missing a functioning radiator. I wonder if there is some confusion here with the RAF Museum’s Tempest V?
I don’t think so, the Tempest is the wrong colour. I spent a fair amount of time glaze busting 24 cylinders with fine emery and paraffin (small hands in those days) among other jobs.
I also rubbed her down between coats (climbing over and caressing every inch of her).
As for the missing rad, there were a few doubtful types about then some of whom are no longer with us today, most unfortunately.
Things can go missing.:D
Try rotating her without one.:dev2:

As a matter of interest, has anyone got any idea when the last Sabre was run…..? I’m presuming a target-tug….? Late ’40’s – early ’50’s…? I’ve heard recordings, but they don’t seem to be very good quality…. :-/
After she had completed a full inspection in the hanger at Cranfield Bedfordshire. This should all be in her log book, mid 60’s.
I started as a volunteer erk washing the floor with av gas, I finished when she left the place.
When you have had the best.
Just bring her back.
Excuse me gent’s,
I read a book some years ago that mentions DH 100s built in Italy. I know about The Pilatus DH112 examples, there’s load of them about (possibly inside a mountain somewhere) How many De Havilland examples of each still survive? My ears are sometimes alerted to the sound of a Ghost or Goblin although seldom.
I heard a Cessna push pull last Sunday and got to window to see it streaking across the sky.
Happy days I hope it was an O2, it sounded beautiful.
:rolleyes::rolleyes::D
MN235?
The one and only,”allegedly”?
Its not really up to me to say a lot as you may well imagine.
Well loved.
It ran
When I was a kid, the babe at Hendon made smoke and lots of noise. I saw and felt and heard it.
She came into the shop with a four blade prop, and some missing paint round the bonnet.
What more can I say than “when you have had the best **** the rest”
