May I put in a vote for Newark’s supurb Avro 706 Ashton 2 WB491 ? It may have been the second built, but was the first with tricycle landing gear and the enlarged square tailplane ? therefore is so different to the taildragger that preceded it ! I would like to think that it’s a surviving prototype ! Keith.

Newforest, Post on “propliers” tells us that so far $37.000 has been raised of the $50.000 needed for fuel etc.
If the remainder can be raised by 1 August, N199AB will fly Anchorage to Travis AFB on 1 September ! Keith.
Just read on a n other forum that 558 has gone tech again tonight (tuesday) at Waddington !!!! Keith.
Merkle, Can’t find any photo’s of WH887 ! So I “converted” one just for you, may be wrong type of canberra ? I know nothing about B2, TT18 etc !
just playing about with a paint programme. Keith.

ollieholmes, I don’t know the difference between a griffon and merlin, can just about recognise a spitfire ! but have a few pics. Keith.




Thanks for the update Merkle, Nice to see you back ! Glad you are acting realy calm and addressing the issues that you have, can’t help at all, but love following your progress ! best of luck to you and all involved. Keith.
This proves the point that the largest part IMPOSSIBLE is POSSIBLE ! Keith.
WoW, Portagee and TEEJ, It is so nice to be able to get a response from people who know what they are talking about ! TEEJ, looked at your link and it seems to be a very important piece of kit, in todays terms. Thank you two so much for helping me with this one ! another question answered. Keith.
The Bournemouth news letter has been modified, the part regarding the CL-44 is removed ???? Curious ?
I have also read somewhere of the CL-44 Asc offer mentioned above ? Keith.
Newforest, Could that possibly have been Hornton Airways, and possibly Dakota G-AKLL, which flew on the airlift ? It amassed 108 sorties during 301.25 flying hours, carrying 397.5 tons of freight ? all this from my treasured book “The Berlin Airlift” by Robert Jackson ? Keith.
The Freshest, Thank you for posting that, 3mins 41secs of big wide smile for me ! Keith.
In 1685 Weston Zoyland was the site of one of the last great battles in England ! Please lets not allow the villiage to have another battle on its hands ?
Could I prescribe a huge “Chill Pill” to all concerned !
Always remember that very thin line between constructive discussion and raging arguement.
What we see in this forum are not peoples thoughts, just typed words on a computer screen, there is no emotion, that little thing we all get when talking face to face, this, I think, makes a huge difference !
I have very little interest in your projects Chris, but I enjoy reading your posts, and know more about Weston Zoyland now than I did one year ago, thank you.
As an example of what goes on “behind the scenes” last evening I spent some time trying to find a photo of WH887, with no luck, as at the time I felt you were down, and would loved to have found one to post here just to cheer you up !
Would it not be so nice if every body read and re-read all posts for some time, and thought about its impact on others, before hitting that SUBMIT POST button ?
Chris, when you ask a question, please accept that not all reply’s will be what you want to hear.
We are all individuals
….. just like everybody else ……. Keith.
Smiler, another one for you, still wet, still dirty, but still a wonderful sight to behold ! Keith.

Sorry Oxcart, just a little thought !!! Keith.
Just a little thought, could this person have flown / is still flying a model ??
See below !
