Conservation of something in ‘as used’ condition does it for me every time rather than factory fresh. I think that Joe Public would also appreciate this too as long as they are told why.

Another thought: Was Old Sarum ever known as Ford? I have a reference to that being the case and coincidentally 23 Squadron operated Bostons from there in 1942.
Although I cannot provide any info relating to nimgen’s observations of the 1976 Nimrod nose leg up landing that he remembers, I do recall witnessing a similar event whilst I was stationed in Ops Wing at the base during the same year.
Didn’t one of the Brymon airliners do a similar trick at some time? (I think it was a Viscount but cannot remember for sure)
Excellent pictures (Also Dr S’s – thanks) ….. can it really be so long ago?!
I was recently reminded of having a go on the Nimrod simulator at St Mawgan around the same time (complete with its sophisticated graphite-based navigation system!) I take it that that all went in the skip many years ago?
