I messed up the exposure on this tailchase at Duxford a couple of years ago so had a play around with some effects to try and get something worthwhile and was quite pleased with the result..

Hi all,

I have been asked by a friend.. if I can find a “APU” in good order, something from a helicopter or the like, just a small APU that is in as good a condition as possible..

does anyone know where to locate such a thing, dealers etc ??

lol

Saw this, what a price and the postage, better say no more

How blatant is that? 46 Sqn were at Thorney between 1970 and 1975 flying Andovers, hence the Loadies (Loadmasters). You can even see where the 7 was overpainted (badly) with the 4. 😡

The ‘Bracewell’s Ironside’ in green camo paint with custom webbing cracked me up.. I rather liked the new colourful Daleks as well, I thought they had a look of Dyson about them 🙂

Darnsarf,

We were there at the same time, Shawbury also as I was TG9 too.
What AATC course were you on?

No idea, I’ll see if I can find out when I get home tonight, there’s a group photo of our course in a drawer somewhere that might help. Anyway Shawbury was followed by stints at Northolt, West Drayton and North Luffenham (really adventurous eh?) and I left the mob in ’82.

Which prompts me to ask when the RAF was first colloquially called The Mob and why?

Edit – incidentally, the aircraft shown in the photo is quite a famous Gladiator, L7619. It’s illustrated in the Osprey book on Gladiator Aces, but I have’t got that to see the profiles in there

Ask and ye shall receive.. 🙂
