Some various and yet classic tail wheel types from VAC events over the years.
I think most in not all are scans of prints.
Ok a couple from me (more tomorrow but only those already on my PC as I have loads of prints and don’t fancy scanning them all in.)
The first I know doesn’t quite fit but they are tail draggers and I suppose the end of the line of development but the second is pure tail dragging.
Both taken at the VAC’s Vintage & Classic Day 2005 and both from print.
A few from me.
Some are from prints scanned in others are digital…
Would you need a “Twin” rating on this one?
What a great sales gimmick…
You’ve been talking to Arm Waver again, haven’t you? 😀
Here!!! – I resemble that remark 😀 😀
The Top Gear aircraft were both AA’s DC-6’s at Dunsfold. They have since returned to Coventry I believe…
I do like the Paint scheme on the mystery Pacer in GBwez1’s post
Nice!
A similar scheme is carried on G-APZX (IIR Reg C) over here…
L ‘n’ S – Don’t know about you but I can see the late Maurice Brett’s Taylorcraft plus another in Rlangham’s post, post #2 in fact… 😀
The tail dragger may well be a Vagabond. If it’s not a Cub or Tripacer I’m lost on Piper tail draggers ( aprt from the Enforcer of course.)
See my post higher up – I am almost 100% certain with my best anorack on that it is Vagabond G-BDVB…. 😀

‘NG is certainly distinctive!
I believe the tail dragger in the line is a Vagabond – G-BDVB if my sad memory doesn’t fail me.
Wessex Boy. The homebuilt in the picture with ‘HP taxying out is a Europa if that is of any interest.
I will be attending my local service on the 11th – I didn’t manage it last year so it will be interesting as the village is an old airfield village – and on the 29th I will be paying my respects, as I did last year, to Flt Sgt Middleton VC. I will drive over as much of the original airfield at Lakenheath as I can and after work go to his graveside and spend some time reflecting.
They moved in from Keflavik a little while ago ,and they’re USAF MH60 Pave Hawks rather than Army Black Hawks. CH53s departed a long time ago, big choppers (ooh er missus) at Mildy are MH53M Pave Low IIIs and will remain in situ. The MH60 re-location to LN is a little odd with a better special ops infrastructure at Mildy… 🙁
The HH60’s at Lakenheath are primarily roled as SAR but are not used as such yet. They aren’t really special ops machines although are equipped with guns at the moment. Being here rather than down the road was following a detailed assessment and that is why they are here…
(I hinted at such things on post 22)
BR, I think you will find the ‘Pak replaced G-ASML the Minor…
