    Thanks Rob – I was keeping track of numbers to see if it was worthwhile.

    By the way, I’m still talking to you, but only just – the MB5 is my favourite
    a/c. I have rooted out the in house brochure MB produced back in the seventies – will pass it to you next time we meet.

    Thanks for the link Mark 12, I hadn’t seen it. As you know, this is a well known a/c. Thought I would share these photos as they were retrieved from a loft in Warwickshire. I scanned from the originals, photos taken by a pupil pilot on the unit who I got to know. The colour on the leading edge a fuselage stripe was red.

    Quotes came from an original lineshoot book – I thought about putting a few up to see the response – if people want more, can do

    A friend of mine was the electrician on the Gladiatiors and somewhere I have a photograph of him in the cockpit of one of the a/c. The a/c is camouflaged and the serial is quite clear – will try and find it!
