Took this at Hucknall last weekend.

Your Oxygen Tap/valve was posted tonight. Like Steve I must have worked on this one too.

All telecommunications personel (Air and Ground, Radar and Wireless and Telegs) wore the “Spider” on their right arm, as indeed did I for too many years.

Thank you for your interest gentlemen. Dave “T” XM692 was the first to contact me.

Bang on old boy, you get to light the blue touchpaper.

The Sea Hornet “Banjo” exhausts (under the shrouds) are different as they only have four exit pipes.

The term “Chiefy” was often used for the Flt Sgt in charge of a servicing team in the RAF.

Thanks Anne.

I wish I’d known about this a couple of weeks ago as I too was visiting family in Ayrshire.
Is this in the large cemetery on the Dumfries road out of Ayr?
John
I like that AA.
It seems that no one has had a stab at my subject. A clue, the engine was a DKW.
Some of it’s siblings were made in the US and UK. Thats two clues.

Just pure guess work but I would suggest Red. The middle thumbnail pic is probably taken on ortho film and Reds appear much darker. (A good example of this is that on many pictures of RAF types the roundel colours appear reversed. The film clip is taken on a different type of film where bright Reds appear much lighter.
As I said just my guess. Was there no trace of earlier colours on such parts as the struts?
John
Compared with many Warbird incidents this has been a good result. Pilot safe, and the aeroplane recovered largely intact with the possibility of resurection.
John
Again thank you for your input gentlemen.

I don’t have the Hamlin book but I have the Dodds book and this is a very good largely pictorial history Another excellent book to compliment this is de Havilland Biplane Transports by Paul Hayes and Bernard King and this contains individual histories for the 83, 84, 86, 89 and 90.

🙁 Sorry I was wrong, the exhaust pipe is on the wrong side for a Guzzi (or Benelli) so I think now it’s a Gilera Sirio.
