    The nacelles look as if the gills are open thus giving an odd outline. The serial does look as if it could be a RAF one and the scheme would tend to sugguest the same but that star does confuse it… Could it be as it was being given back?? Just my thoughts.

    The Mossie will be static I believe.
    Flypast ran an article a little while back on the coloured tails. The variations, reasons and the like. Sure someone will dig it out before I can (at work at moment so…)

    Just as an aside. Ensign G-ADSR made a dead stick landing at RAF Bicester on 8th March 1938 whilst on her 5th test flight. Reason being poorly labeled fuel cocks.
    Snapper absolutely fantastic set of pictures.
    Thanks

    You mean it’s not restored… I thought it was immaculate and just positioned in a dip so we could be level with it… Mind you it was a bit dark in there!!!!

    Usually they use their Islander G-ORED I believe.
    We have fun near us with jumpers and gliders… Has got messy once or twice in recent years…

    I liked her in Pink… Got a nice close up look at her when she visited Turweston a few years back.

    Very nice indeed. Nice to see where the Mercury went. Used to live at our “home” airfield for a while.
    The Cub looks nice too, as does the Sweedish Tiger.
    Do you have any more???
    Thanks

    Snapper you are not alone… It appears to have become a bit of an epidemic at work here… That’ll please Ch4 and their ratings…

    Pointless fact(?): The Rearwin still has her original engine fitted that she was built with.

    Don’t know if this was put up elsewhere but the three Proctors according to my copy of “British Civil Aircraft Register” by Gordon Swanborough & John W.R. Taylor published by Ian Allen in 1970 were…

    G-AIAE Percival P.44 Proctor 5 Modified to ‘Ju87’ for “Battle of Britain” film.
    G-AIEY Percival P.28 Proctor 1 Initial reservation for Percival Q-6 G-AFFD; modified to ‘Ju87’ for “Battle of Britain” film.
    G-ALOK Percival P.34 Proctor 3 Modified to ‘Ju87’ for “Battle of Britain” film.

    I like the thoughts behind the arguement for the Comet and I tend to agree with you.
    As for Sandtoft I think there are a few aircraft that should be included not just the Lincoln…

    Probably not when the film was made but they are quite rare now.

    Moggy… Still!!!???? Bet you’ll be at the front of the queue when she’s back flying. How long has it been now? (apart from too long)

    TurboNZ… I disagree. I think it looks like a nice aircraft (although only in the civil scheme and with the spats).
