Hampden Sqdn lineshoots No2
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
Thank you both for your comments – next week two unpublished photos of an all black Thunderbolt ( a well known a/c)
Nice shots Glen – here is one from the other side.
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!
You deserved to be there – just don’t change!
Happy birthday
