    BoB film colours for me. To the majority of visitors it would be reasonably representative of a German bomber, those in the know should also appreciate the relevance to Duxford.

    G-AWHB at Southend in 1974.

    Here’s a picture I took of MT818 at the Tillamook Air Museum, Tillamook, Oregon on 5 December

    And about 30 years earlier at Middle Wallop

    A BA 767 lost all hydrollic fluid

    Unlikely….767 has no manual reversion on the flight controls, so no hydraulics would probably = smoking hole in the ground.

    January 1976, Her Majesty’s Bulldog XX622 at RAF Finningley (please don’t call it Robin Hood). 16,000 hours later, still loving every minute.

    I think I’ve posted most of these before on various threads…….however, these taken around 1982, after the auction, Mosquito still present awaiting delivery to Kermit Weeks

    Others were G-BCOV Ex ES3613 G-BCKG Ex ES8509 and G-BCKH Ex ES8502

    Here’s VX302, ex G-BCOV, now N613RD, westbound through Glasgow 1983(ish)

    The thing that amazes me is how common a ‘glass’ two-man cockpit is now, when at the time it was a major revolution in modern airliner design and was featured heavily in the accompanying news footage shown locally when the 757 arrived back in ’83.

    And only a couple of years earlier, when I was doing my ATPL course, the glass cockpit was science fiction…..much of the course was related to aircraft like, well, the Viscount, Trident and VC-10. Inertial Reference Systems (the heart of the 757 navigation system) were covered in about 60 minutes! (and hours and hours and hours spent on now obsolete systems like Decca, Omega, Loran, Consul!)
