Please post some more as there is quite a gap(certainly in my knowledge) on post 1919 French aeroplanes. The first one is very Bristol Boxkite. The one behind the “The worlds Smallest Aeroplane” looks very Sage No.2.

Are there any pics of the FW 190 in 41 Sqn markings?

John

Yes, it’s ZS-PDW and was sold last month. Back to you sir. By the way, the Cukurs C6 bis can be found in Karl Irbitis’s “Of Struggle and Flight”,but that is a photo I have never seen before.

It’s the Cukurs C-6 bis

I too was at Hucknall in the late fifties, when a Tiger (Black and Orange) flown by I think Prince Cantacazun was doing a crazy flying routine, including one wheel taxying, when suddenly the u/c tied it’s self into a knot in front of the crowd. Was this the incident Pete Truman saw? It would have been around 1958. Leon Biancotto flew a Jungman and also another year a Stampe Renard (monoplane) at Hucknall.

I was also at Syerston in 1958 when VX770 went in. Sadly I have been present at four other fatals.

The Chipmunks in photo 53, I think, are Birmingham University Air Squadron and they operated out of RAF Shawbury. Which seems to concur with Stevo76’s tower recognition. The Beverly is 242 OCU. It would seem the gathering is perhaps before a BoB display?

John

It was of course a Swallow TPK (Kinner)

John

Possibly this one.
