f mine flew the Aerovan – would you like me to get his recollections?
A couple more.
An air to air of APRS
The first photo is a DC3 passing through Coventry some years ago – the owner was/is Otis Spunkmeir – it was the personal a/c of General Hap Arnold and carries its original markings.
The second photo of a C47 should interest you Will. Thanks for your comment.
G-AMPY circuit bashing at Wellesbourne some years ago
Gremlins struck – saw the Wellesley first and hammered out a reply – suspect the ‘ugly’ one is a captured Italian beast.
Edit – Quick replies tonight – thae answer came up while I was typing!
Vickers Wellesley – three squadrons operated in the Middle East
Pick a spot from fifteen hundred feet and try a slide slip.
Grandad Biggles, I’ve done it and its a trip t0 remember!
A Siskin rudder and manuals reside in a house in Warwickshire
Good to see a thread on Gremlins.
In 1976 I manged to save some from 22OTU Wellesbourne Mountford, the day before the building they were in was demolished. They now reside at Hendon.
Fed and watered twice a week they seem quite happy. Once the photo attachment situation is sorted I will post a photo of them.
The real fascination was the detective work in tracing the artist.
Thank you for your help Manonthefence.
