    I saw this aircraft at the Tollerton races . The engineer was Dick Veall. Last news on Charles Masefield he was testing a Nimrod AEW.3 at RAE Bedford before it closed in 1994 doing overweight trials.

    Many thanks FW190 for replying. Does anybody know the date when the clipped wing Spitfire was introduced ?

    It was delivered to the US Army Air Force on 15 Sept 1943 being assigned to Oran,North Africa just one month later. No date is given for further assignments to the US 12th Air Force and it became surplus to requirements on 01 Apr 1946. On 02 August 1949 it was registered to SGACC as F-BEIG.
    My source “Douglas DC-3 Survivors” Vol 2 by Arthur Piercey. 1988 Aston Publications.

    Ian Mason was as good guy he let me see the Tempest TT.5 NV778 at Cardington. My father flew this aircraft at 233OCU Pembrey. I remember Black 6 breaking his leg on a ground run he was pretty cheerful about it.

    Thanks to both Wiesso and Flyer for the info. The aircraft looks to be in Natural Metal with white top decking and black logo and fin stripe.

    Thanks for the replies on this little known use of Mariners into 1958. I thought the accident was caused by the starboard propellor going into reverse pitch .

    The fleet must be close to their airframe life and pressurisation cycles to continue flying ?

    Try ” Lincolnshire Air War” by S Finn hard to find though or Mike Hodgsons “Lincolnshire Airfields”1982. Try inter library loan . Try googling “Beaufighter Squadrons” as these and Hudsons were used during the war at North Coates.
