No mention in the paperwork, will have to wait for physical inspection.

There is a DVD called Whispering Death based on 30 & 31 Squadron RAAF produced by Shane West and Chris Doig. The duration is 90 min. I saw it on sale at Morabbin and possibly the War Memorial at Canberra, Australia.

There is a file in the National Archives at Kew, possibly in Air27, that gives the full details on the colour scheme of MM5701. I transcribed it 30 years ago, will try to find.
TFC’s machine still requires a considerable amount of work including the overhaul of the engine. We will endeavour to have it assembled in its uncovered state for, yes you have guessed, Flying Legends.

Well done the moderators! We live in the land of free speech which many are trying to curtail. If this is to contentious for some please post it on the RAF forum where the mature majority would enjoy a good debate. http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?forumID=46291

I agree with Charley there are some points of interest concealed within. Having served in the RAF and seen the procurement process in action over a period of fifty years the same mistakes continue to be made over and over again. Yes, it does involve historic aircraft. Dig deep and read about the Valiant, Bulldog, Shackleton, AEW Nimrod etc. Two that really spring to mind and really relevant to this forum are the Mosquito and the Me 262

You mean G-SPIT?

If it helps I worked on the Repair and Salvage Flight at RAF Abingdon and was involved in the spares recovery and scrapping of the RB211 test bed at Kemble. Also scrapped the two seat Lightning at RAF Colerne Museum and took it to the fire dump at Kemble.
I recall other detachments from “Crash & Smash” to Kemble but the other aircraft do not come to mind at the moment.

Great character, great raconteur. Fond memories of a night stop in Harare on the way to pick up Plane Sailing’s Cat. Dizzy as always the centre of attention.
He lived a full life, keep on chasing Dizzy!
