Not to mention a line up of fire engines that would make any enthusiast weep if they saw them together today! Isn’t that a KV-cab ERF at the end?
Plus, as someone else says, what I presume is the prototype Victor in an astonishing black, red and silver livery (this is in the pic from the other end) and three aircraft that look identical in shape but with different colour schemes – is that the Avro 707s? And what’s the big slab-sided thing on the left-hand edge?

And a Seamew, over near the Victor. Not forgetting the Bev and the Skeeter.

I must say I didn’t know a Budd Conestoga (photo 4)had survived.

Great pics.
Post 1, picture 3 – is that a Monnet Sonerai?!
Looks like Wittmans Buster.

PS Just blown the pic up and yes it is.
Private message on its way to you.

I am to talk to the Derby Historical Aircraft Soc on the 14th and Peter has been there in the past, If not I can find a telephone No for him. Or phone W.H. (Bill) Harrison for it.

It was an ML type G winch.

Perhaps of interest, we used BSAA’s old hangar for our Harriers in Belize. You could just make out the letters in the rust over the door.
There is a photo of G- ALPF in vol 1 of Jacksons British Civil Aircraft page 328.
I was another spotter who sat on the fence to watch the Meat freighters at Tollerton.

We now need the satelite pic which shows the Canberra photo’ing the SR 71 to prove it.

It is similar to the INAS Inertial NAv System in Harriers (GR.1-3) and the film is the projected moving map.

Can anyone Id this Drop tank or bomb rack? Also what is the camera from?
That’s not a camera but appears to be a radar scope or instrumentation.
John
As JDK says, MS 406 Battle for France? 1939-40

Meteor 14, now is it the one at Ely hospital or North Luffenham?
John
It was behind the port u/c door, with access through a tri-angular door at the top of the u/c leg, Bloody things.
