Airspeed Ambassador,Dove and possibly Valetta and Heron ?
Two tables of aviation company test call signs were published in Air-Britain Digest for Autumn and Winter 1999.
Scillonia Airways were giving airshow joyrides around this time using two Rapides,as I remember them at Leicester East Airshow in 1967.
The City of Norwich aviation museum at the airport have a lot of information on RAF Coltishall. Worth giving them a call.
Could try here http://www.scramble.nl/showreports.htm click on Europe show reports then United Kingdom.

Too many questions ,Central library around the early nineties. Maybe they are buried in the County Hall vaults or were nicked ?
There was an original 306th BG history presented to the town when the 306th left and Squadron diaries.
Yes :mad:and all the 306th BG books have disappeared from the Bedford Library .
I have a copy with many 379thBG signatures in it. I have been offered over £100 in the past but it is not for sale. there was a copy in the church at Kimbolton but I believe it was stolen sometime ago (no not me I can assure you !)
Keith, That is exactly what I am after . I missed the thread . Many thanks.
Thanks for the pictures it does show more clearly from a different perspective. 🙂
The book “Highest Duty” by Captain Sullenberger who ditched the airliner in the Hudson river.
1687 BDTF was formed at nearby Ingham on Feb. 15th 1944 and disbanded at Hemswell 30 Oct 1944. Aircraft recorded Spitfire 11A P7960, VB AB194 coded 4E:W, Hurricane IIC PG537 4E:A, Oxford II P1089, Martinet 1 HP325 coded F.
Yes, the pictures at Kimbolton were recorded by the Eighth Air Force wall art society. I do not have the web site but try googling. Thanks for the history on G-ARNE and light aircraft in the sixties.
Another unit at Little Staughton was RAF Nos 47 and 48 Transport Command Group Comm Flight which operated a fleet of Proctors and Ansons plus the odd Messenger ,Auster and Oxford from 1946 to 4.48 when they left for Abingdon. The Headquarters was situated at Milton Ernest Hall(of Glen Miller fame). Was there an airstrip behind the house ?
