My (slightly) foreign choice ?

How about a complete carvair ? foreign but slightly british ! a dwindling breed with the same shape as some women i know ? sad ?:)

Heathrow Lightweights.

This brings back memories of a flight from Norwich to Heathrow during 1969 / 70 in a gardan horizon ! (similar to a cherokee) to collect some radio gear from field aircraft services.
To say the least it was embarracing ! imagine cueing for take off behind a 707 and a VC-10, we almost got airbourne using the exhaust from the jets in front ! but hey those were the days ? please ask no technical questions as i was only ballast (or the only one stupid enough to go along ? ) keith.

Carvair Connections ………..

Answer to a small query in this thread, this afternoon i drove to HALESWORTH
and looked at the carvair / dc-4 nose ! yes it is still there ! looking very sad i thought, in ned of T L C ! would look much better cleaned, painted in appropriate colours and inside a museum somewhere ? just my small opinion !
Have photo’s on my phone camera, will try to attach with this ! if not successful may try later ……. Keith

Overstrand ?
