    This advert appeared in the June 1973 Issue of Air Illustrated.
    The team disbanded in the same month 😡

    WARNING ! – slight thread creep here …

    There’s more on the race here => http://www.btinternet.com/~gordon.dyer/543/memories.html

    In the above write up it mentions Eric Hemson. If anyone knows his whereabouts could they please ask him to contact me.

    Eric flew as #4 in the 1967 “GIN Formation” Aerobatic team & I’d like to find out more for my website …..

    Thread creep over …

    TIA

    BenyBoy – Here’s a link to the Museum at Sinsheim =>http://sinsheim.technik-museum.de/en/aircraft

    If anything it’s even bigger than the Speyer Museum & as mentioned above there are both a Concorde & Tu144 there. You can get inside both ( as well as inside a JU-52 & others 🙂 )

    Sinsheim also has a massive collection of Tanks, F1 cars, Trains Motorbikes etc etc etc. I’ve been to Sinsheim a few times & to be honest even a day isn’t long enough.

    Pagen01 – The U-boat – Sorry I didn’t take any pics of it, but you can see it in the background behind the Gannet. & it’s featured in the website link you posted

    Fouga23 – I’ll send you an E-mail with what I have, but be warned, I’m not a good photographer.

    Creaking Door – The sign hanging off the Alphajet says … “First flight 1973. 500 examples built. Used in France, Germany & other countries” … so no help there I’m afraid.

    By pure chance my son has been invited to a birthday party “trip” to Speyer on Saturday. His second visit in 10 days…. He’s not complaining !

    See the little boy in the green sweatshirt, pointing his finger, in the last few shots. That’s my son & it really IS that interesting for kids.

    My Dad flew with 60 Sqn from Butterworth.

    I loaded a couple of small Cine films he was involved with into YouTube.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL0ILSGR8MI

    & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83nEoeUVDII&feature=channel

    John Parson ( Navigator in 60 Sqn ) is still around, I can put you in touch with him.

    Here’s one of John’s films featuring the Javelin

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMvXaAEt0I4&feature=channel

    & finally through these films a couple of the Javelin guys from that period have contacted me. I’ll pass on their details.

    Let us have more details of you “project ” 🙂

    What I would like to know is, were these the same pilots/aircraft that flew a “50” formation over Farnbrough during the SBAC show in September that year?

    There are no entries in my Dad’s log book for this flight & no “training” entries either. However his first flight in Sept ’68 was on the 16th …. maybe my mum forced him to take a few days holiday with us 🙂

    Here’s Linton GIN in a loop.

    Here are a couple from my Dad’s log books.

    This one was dated May 1960 ( 5 Fts )

    http://www.a-k-d.com/provost/wadd_vamp_id_may_60_5_fts.jpg

    He flew his first Jet solo in this ( Feb 1960 )

    http://www.a-k-d.com/provost/wadd_vamp_id_feb_60.jpg

    No Info on this one … but I guess it’s from the same period
    http://www.a-k-d.com/provost/waddington_vamp_id.jpg

    & finally some thread creep here ….. these are the guys from his course. ( anyone recognise themselves / their father ? )
