GASML – just for you, a different angle.

I had problems finding the hole to take the film canister in my new digital camera!

Seriously, the shots of the Demon were the first digital images I have taken, the cockpit shots were scanned from slide. It could be the way the are played with in photoshop.

Keep smilin’ and visit Skysport next year.

Thanks for the comment Skyraider – I willtry to get a cockpit photo on screen this evening.

I am just reading ‘The Sky Suspended’ a fighter pilots story
by JimBailey Pub Bloomsbury Books

Excellent reading!

I spoke with John earlier today. At the time he flew the Aerovan he was a Flt. Lt. instructor at No 1 Flying Instructors School, Woodley. he was asked by the Chief test Pilot of Miles if he would like to stay behind one weekend and fly the Aerovan.
Just the two of them were on board – John did all the flying. Having beaten up the farm of a friend of the Chief pilot, John recieved a b…….. from the Tower!
He was sufficiently impressed with the a/c to resign his commission for the post of production test pilot on the Aerovan. When he arrived at Woodley after a short leave the gates were locked. Miles had folded.
He says it was pleasant to fly bearing in mind that it was a light freighter – he feels there was a ready market for it and that it was a casualty of Miles collapse.
