Ummm … there was no one to ask permission from ? all of the hangar doors were open ! (presumably for the free minibus tours) and I did not cross the threshold, all of these photos are from outside the hanger 😉
Another photo, and a question, please excuse my lack of knowledge of most things military, what is the red aircraft in the centre ??? Keith.
XH668. These are for you ! close up of the paintwork, and during the flypast.
Hope this makes your foot hurt less ? Enjoy … Keith.
YakRider. What supurb photos ! The best I can do for you, and your team of today, is this humble effort ! Too much sky and not enough aircraft ? But thank you very much for the display.
Keith.
Have had a very pleasant day at NW, The ceremony was very well attended, and very well organised, in my opinion !
A few of the 440 photos taken today, I had a virtual free hand to wander arond with my camera, will start a thread for aircraft photos later !
Meanwhile a few from the main event ….
Enjoy …. Keith.
I am totaly out of my league here ! but the photo is Duxford, last year, please ignore the subject, but is this therefore a belfast truss within a coupled general service shed ??? Wow what workmanship !!!
Keith.
Below is a quote from Kev 35, taken from an earlier thread.
And a photo of same aircraft in better times, early 1936 at Shaiba.
G-AAUD was named Hanno and G-AAXE was named Hengist. ‘XE was caught in an airship hangar fire at Karachi on 31/5/37 and was destroyed. ‘UD was impressed into RAF service on the outbreak of war and was destroyed at Whitchurch Bristol Airport on 19/3/40 when during a gale, the aircraft was blown together with another HP42, G-AAXC Heracles. ‘XC was also destroyed as a result of this incident.
