This is disgraceful. There is a big problem with respect and discipline in this country,what a great shame to those young airmen who served at Mendlesham. Agree Peter the over fifties are going to start a big revolt soon its long overdue and coming !!
You must not call them pikeys or dids the politically incorrect idiots will have you on that one for discrimination !! but its perfectly ok for them to go around the english countryside destroying all of our heritage .

Hi,

I have NA112 coded “L” with No 171 Squadron . Still searching 199 Squadron.

The Harrier picture from John Aeroclub I have XV745 coded 27 of 233 OCU.

Would like to know reg/serials of gliders at Clevelands RAFGSA at Leeming 1958-1961. Fleet was Cadet 1,Tutor,Grunau(with dolly wheels)T-31,T-21,Oly2B”133″,Skylark 3F. I had my first ever flight in the T-31 aged 5. The club helped with training the new club forming at Driffield,and Pete Lane used to wave fly in the T-21. I last heard the Oly was at Pocklington ?

I flew at East Midlands Swinderby in 1967 T-21 “212” and K-7″353″. There was a K-6E and SHK there but cannot remember numbers.

G-APPO was sold in Aug 1967 and was derelict at Luton till moved by road by A.J Walter Ltd of Horley as spares in March 1970. I went on a Dan-Air BAC 1-11 to Palma and saw the aircraft derelict by Mc Alpines hangar 24/5/69. The grass was concreted over not long after.

I’d say correct. Note the old Autair DC-3 G-APPO parked in front of McAlpines hangar.

There is a photograph of XE317 of “E” flight No 275 Sqdn RAF Chivenor wet winching off Ilfracombe taken by George Francis. Information from Page 105 “RAF Chivenor” by Dave Watkins Alan Sutton Publishing 1995.
