Thanks Clive for posting . Brilliant photographs and videos of crop spraying operations in the sixties . I can remember watching G-ASFZ at work near RAF Manby and getting myself and new bicycle covered in a green spray. Circled home straight away to get clean and worried the bike was going to need repainting. It was potato spray and really ponged. Stupid I know but loved to see the real low flying and art of the pilots.

I recently bought new from United Writers ” Six Feet Over” and shall order the new book on Lincs Aerial Spraying. Nice change from Spitfires !

So pleased DCW is back, most of us cannot get to Duxford due to distance ,work shifts and finances so it does keep us posted on the latest warbird developments and inspire us to attend.

Jonathan,
If you read this I was so pleased to see you transit Monday morning just south of Podington heading SW after the Duxford display . Lovely sound and saw you disappear. Thank you for displaying the Hunter over many years and what a lovely colour scheme.

My first ever flight was in RAFGSA Clevelands T-31 “223” aged five with my father at RAF Leeming. Years later he told me I was in the front seat and he had the stick forward for most of the flight ! 1,500 foot winch launch 6 minutes duration. This glider went on to become G-AYAN.
On holiday at RAF Chivenor in July 1973 my best friend Derek Boxell was a staff pilot with No.624 ATC Gliding School. In XA286 Mark 3 ,wearing Mae-Wests we had a cable break at 500 ft then soared to 1,500 ft over the Taw estuary for 10 minutes. We landed in very tall grass as the airfield was on care and maintenance only . Happy times.

Roger Lindsay wrote a great piece on the Valetta T.3/4 in Military Aviation Review July/Aug 1976 and the history of 228OCU in MAR Dec 1976/Jan 1977. My father was a Sergeant pilot on the Valettas with 228 OCU . His log book states he was detached to the JMCU 01 Dec 1958 but no mention afterwards . He flew T.4 WJ477 to Church Fenton and back 15.6.59 one of the last sorties converting No. 72 Squadron. He also pranged WJ467 6.8.58, he was back flying WJ471 on the 18th. All T.4’s were converted by Marshall’s of Cambridge,maybe their archives may have more detail on the AI.17 fitment in the long nose. I have one of my late father’s treasured possesions a 228OCU beer glass with the dimples that has No.1 Sqdn depicting 2 flying pigs chasing each other with the motto “Vom Volante” . Right at the end of Leeming’s main runway was a sausage factory called Voms.

On glider retrieves out of field landings we had to watch out for this. Sometimes it was better to pull the glider to the side of the field rather than drive onto the stubble. What a stupid accident.
