Will look up the con number of the EI plated one and see what happened to that…
There have only been two MS.230 on the UK register according to the CAA’s G-INFO.
G-AVEB c/n 1076 – listed as sold to USA in ’96 and
G-BJCL c/n 1049 – listed as sold to USA in ’88

As I said Ill have a nose tonight and see what I can find out.

What is the monetary difference in a restoration if you went for a static instead?? Especially as knowing our weather I should think there is some quite major corrosion in parts of the airframe…

According to an early IA copy of Civil Registers of the UK the Blue Max used the following UK registered aircraft (not a complete list but as gleaned from the book)

G-ATGV SE.5a Replica (Miles Built) to Eire
G-ATGW SE.5a Replica (Miles Built) to Eire W/o in the mid air with G-AWEE
G-ATIF Pfalz D.III Replica (Bianchi Built) to Eire then to USA
G-ATIJ Pfalz D.III Replica (Personal Transport Built) to Eire then to USA
G-ATIO Caudron C.275 Destroyed in Eire
G-ATIP Caudron C.272 to Eire to France
G-ATIR Stampe SV.4C to Eire to France to UK and current
G-ATIY Fokker Dr.1 Replica (Bitz Built) to Eire to USA
G-ATJM Fokker Dr.1 Replica (Bitz Built) to Eire to USA to UK stored

The ones used in Darling Lil were the Slingsby built “Slingsby T.56 Currie Wot / SE.5a Replica” of which there were six. G-AVOT-Y. All sold to Eire then to USA

Stieglitz
There was an Irish registered Moraine Soulnier MS.230 in 1968 so probably involved somewhere along the line EI-ARG ex F-BGMR.

I think she was one of those the”Jeff” Hawke brought over…
What a shame.
Wish I had time, money and space to save her – really like the Mitchell since watching the documentary on the ferry flight. Also UK B-25’s (13 OTU)operated from Bicester, Finmere and Turweston all airfields I have connections with…

I heard a similar tale but concerned Javellin parts.

Don’t know if the “scene” will be lucky as MoD have Resource Accounting where if they hold stuff they pay for it as a penalty against their budget as it were. The was talk that a huge stash of GR postage paid envelopes were found during the initial assessments for RAB on one MoD Site…

I wonder what will turn up in the stores as they empty those dark seldom seen corners? Spares for who knows what!?

I should imagine most of it will be disposed of via auctions from Defence Disposal Sales Agency. Seems to be the norm theses days… claim a few pennies back for Mr. & Mrs. Tax Payer…

A quick check on the tail number on http://home.att.net/~jbaugher/usafserials.html
brings up the following:
“North American F-86H-10-NH Sabre 53-1250 registered as N31250 with Aeroplace Services, Inc of Midlothion, TX.”
A quick check on the FAA register lists the owner being resident in Lakeville, Dakota, Minnesota USA..

Very nice site. Very professional and smart.
How do they manage to operate the Su-22? Under who’s control (e.g. CAA or MoD) is it to be operated? Just wondered as I didn’t work it out or though I might have missed it or miss read it.

Song wise for some strange reason the Penis Song in the Meaning of Life and Eric the Half a Bee
Sketch wise from the video And now for something completely different the drill “right stop that it’s silly and a little bit suspect” and Conrad Poohs and his dancing teeth.

Don’t remember it being after a roll I thought it was as they had finished the display and were positioning at about 1500ft through the overhead for a rejoin to land. Either way it was a sad day. The commentator that day did a great job as the next act was getting ready and he focussed on that and I believe that many didn’t realise what had happened.
