    It does look like Europe are they autobahns in the picture . The 66th TRW also flew from Laon in France .

    Believed to be exploding gas bottle. No reported injuries but blast damage substantial. I did think it might have been a wartime 500 pounder .

    I would like to see the Wellington finished as a 201 AFS machine all silver and T-bands. If the interior was opened up the damage to a rare machine in terms of sweaty fingers,overweight people on its seats would take its toll. One only has to look at the rear end of Duxfords B-17 “Mary Alice” to see what fingers touching the airframe and props can do.
    I think the Tempest TT.V scheme at RAF Museum Hendon is right for that aircraft and is a tribute to all target towing personnel of the RAF.

    I was a gliding instructor with No 616 ATC Gliding School at RAF Henlow in the 80’s. I remember the team from Lyneham took 2 weeks to dismantle the Comet. The wing bolts gave considerable trouble and special tools had to be used . the corrosion on the wing undersides was very bad. The cockpit was intact with all instruments and seats(the huge rear facing armchair type). The aircraft had arrived 14.6.1967 the port wing had been cut off outboard of the engines and the aircraft parked in the T2 hangar near to Henlow village(since demolished). The crew chief kindly gave me a copy laying on the flight engineers desk of the loading and trim sheet which I still have.
    After a long period of gate use at Lyneham the state of the metallurgy must be in doubt as to the future safety of the aircraft remaining on its undercarriage.

    I saw a lone copy in Sainsburys but it was much cheaper to buy on Amazon.

    Hello Don,

    Yes, It would be interesting perhaps a new thread ” Barrel roll v Aileron roll” or something similiar ? Happy Christmas and thanks for the reply.

    Hi all,
    Many thanks for all the replies over 10,000 hits amazing. I only read this in Propliner and was amazed at what I was seeing and reading, Thanks to Fanavion for more meat on the bone but it has generated a lot of principles of flight discussion and aileron v barrel rolls. 😮

    Back in the sixties there was a photograph in Sailplane & Gliding magazine of this machine. The BGA hold a library at Leicester and may be able to help.
    Also try the “Flight” archive as well.
