I was there in June this year…. Very sad.
Was noted that the prop turns on the Sea Prince and both engines appear to be containing oil

Your funny plastic thing I believe to be a Dragonfly a smaller version of a Quickie Q2.
The Flea I believe is a later HM version a bit akin to G-AXPG
Is it me, or where the Lanc nose was resting on the timbers at the front, there appears to be damage to the skin where the bomb bay doors were?
Someone too keen with tie downs? 🙁

Blue Noser, KW’s Mosquito and that in the picture are one and the same. RS712 I think she is off the top of my head.
Would it not be easy to build a stronger “replica” T-21 if keen on one?
Agreed re Blaniks – such a shame. Some rather upset glider clubs out there as a result. Just not economically viable by all accounts
Cheers Rich,
I figured it was the last two of the serial.
Shame she is there rotting (with ’47) but not much can be done from here really 🙁
Keep up the good work.
Will have to see if I can get up there with my son to see her in the flesh.
I always wondered where she ended up.
Fantastic scheme she had over here – that scheme is a little disappointing in comparison – Not my place to comment though as I don’t have one 😉
I went to Tillamook in October 2010.
An amazing building and enjoyed the museum too.
A brilliant bit of work once again Andy.
An fascinating tale
I hope they can be laid to rest properly now.
Nowt wrong with these early microlights – they may not be good looking but they are part of our aviation heritage.
Preserve them I say!
Thanks for sharing them – I work in Oxford and knew of the incident but not the date. I as on a day off too so could have gone.
Just watching the documentary on the link you posted, (thanks btw) and I was wondering if, not being a Shackleton expert or anything, but “Number 57” referred to as being involved with the rescue of the passengers on liner that caught fire, is that one of those left to rot in Cyprus?

As many people have already said, you are doing a most fabulous job and thanks for the updates.
Nice shots Anna
Oh right – thanks – never seen her “wearing” them before
Is it the photo or are the Rapide’s windows got curtains over them?
