Using Dave’s link on another thread it would appear that the Alouette was lost in making Zeppelin.
You were right Daz.:)
If you could get a still photo I’d have a go at the type – Haven’t got a copy of it you see. Saw it on Satellite but missed the start and now I’ve moved I’ve not got the dish.

Once again thanks chaps.
I’ll keep digging to see what I can find – stuff’s all packed following moving.
Had not seen the “Memphis” thread before – great photos.
Crazymainer
Thanks for that – Will see if I can get a copy next time I’m in town and my friendly bookshop.
Jagan
Thanks to you too. I wondered how he’d been involved in the film.

Thanks for the link. Answered a question I’ve had in my head for an age. What a terrible end.

Amazing how someone mentions something and a light comes on. I think I recell Art getting a dedication at the en of Top Gun.
The spoof was Hot Shots
Thanks for that.
I did hear that a collapsed/semi-collapsed building in Ireland still contained a replica or two of what type I don’t know but the place is too unsafe and the ‘planes too far gone to be worth recovering…
I’d forgotten about the Pheonix crash… I knew of it but I don’t know the details and you never seem to find it explained anywhere. It was a great loss.

With all these pictures about Wanaka I really want to go now! – Have to start saving then.
Archer – Never noticed when I first looked at the thread but you’re right- that’s one short pilot!!
Funy how groups turn up from different areas.
Denny Dobson, one of the display acts, usually has quite an entourage… 9 this year I think Neil said!
Look forward to seeing you there Propstrike – come and say hello:)
Pilo
I’m there “working”. In fact I’m there Saturday helping set up and the like. Don’t know if we’ll get much time off as such but you shouldn’t find me too easy to miss.
Oddly enough My brother’s birthday is the following day to and he’s due to be there “working” too.
If it all happens as it should there should be some good stuff there.

It’s amazing how such things survived considering how “disposable” they were in service and the fact they are wood.
Abingdon Fayre…
May 2nd – or is that too soon? Only a fiver and for a good cause.
Ok it’s not a large event (7-8 item flying display and includes a fly-in) but is getting UK Military support this year.
😀
RIAT – How many times can you make an F-16 et al display look interesting and different?? and I agree with Chuck Yeager – too expensive.

The thought of one of those approaching on it’s landing run…
Almost impossible to imagine!
Andy-in-beds and I discussed the thought of flying a Horsa on an earlier thread. I have often wondered what they were like to fly. As I said then I know they land in the same way as a T.21 or whatever in theory but something that size on the one shot landing…:eek:
I’d love to see some WWII gliders flying. The tow by an appropriate type and release and landing (or controlled crash as they appeared to be sometimes..)
OAW
Indded great pictures Flood.
Haven’t been there for a while so think a return visit is in order.
Turbo NZ
The Hamilcar is genuine example but as Flood indicated contains components from two others – and probably some smaller new build bits.
