Today we have an answer to the continuing changes to the colour scheme of this aircraft ! This virtual ‘Jacobs Coat’ now sports the colours of Nordwind Airlines ! with a ‘taped on’ registration M-ABED ? could this possibly change, yet again, to a VQ-??? registration ? It was still resting at Norwich late this evening, so may depart tomorrow, maybe get a better photo at that time ??
So pack up the postmans tent and we can all go home to our loved ones 😉

The”Eh”Team. Thanks for that John, I thought you might like the ‘copter shot !
EGTC. Thank you my friend ! The blimp is not hanging around here ? it left at 11:00hrs today, bound for, I am told, Manchester, to catch the next Norwich City game maybe ??
Newforest. Thank you also …. My theory is … the red things are orange corrugated flexible ducting taking ‘forced’ air from each prop tip into the gondola for cooling ????? And the unit attached below the rear ‘could’ be a simple air conditioning unit ???? would be so nice to hear from somebody who actualy knows ??? good questions though 😉 a very over pixilated crop from a photo below ….. just for you !!

Another small update …. mid morning today this aircraft left us for pastures new !

taxying on runway for take off.
It pays to never dump a photo ?? Two views of “Spirit of Freedom” at Duxford, look at the tail fin code and wording ?
And compare with the best I can do from the North Weald aircraft (not Biggin James ! )
Two different aircraft I think ?????

As David has said restoration is going very well ! photos taken some time ago, so I assume it has progressed ….

Would be nice to inspire some more discussion about these two lovely old aircraft, if only I had the money and space …… ? these photos from a couple of years ago …. I assume they are still there …. and still looking for a future ???
