It certainly does appear to be the case…although I would say the discrepancy is more like 6 inches…BUT..look at the underside view a couple of pages later…the starboard roundel is closer to the tip than the port one, you can see the difference in relation to the trestle line marks.

Doubly memorable for me..Jeffrey Quill flying AB910 at a Culdrose Air Day in about 1962ish.
What a historic pairing.

First memory of models were the Frog Hunter, DH110, and Canberra, built for me by my father, when he wasn’t hogging my Meccano set.
First built was the…yes, you’ve guessed, the first 2 bob model, the Airfix Spitfire. Also had the Southern Cross liner at that time.
Followed by an eclectic building habit, Revell, Aurora, Airfix, many bought in the model shop in Church Street, Helston, including tanks, The Knight of Augsburg, ships of the line and so on.

The model I still hanker after? Monogram’s Phantom Mustang .

Flying models…first built were Keil Kraft Scale rubber powered Spitfire and Hurricane. My father kindly commented on the warped wing construction of the Spitfire as representing the correct degree of washout!

A lovely Jetex powered Hunter with metal jetpipe, which I could never bring myself to fly, knowing it would end in a fiery heap.

A Keil-Kraft Champ, underpowered by a DC Bantam .75cc glowpug, and a Phantom Mite..control line , both.

And a survivor too…a Frog FD2 still on top of my bookcase, sans probe, sans transfers.

What an extraordinary piece of film.
I wonder what the story behind it was, and whether it happened often.
Thanks for posting it.

Thanks also for posting the link to the tribute website. So good to be able to appreciate one sacrifice among so many.

No margins at low level. Living on borrowed time, methinks.

Would that be a Daily Mail publication, by any chance….

Yes, I did wonder about the rain cloud over the rock…that probably makes it N Ireland rather than the Med!

There’s only a 3/4 view drawing in Norman Ellison’s British Gliders and Sailplanes book..no 3 view, but you possibly know that already. There are 2 photos in Gliding and Motorless Flight by Howard-Flanders and Carr.
