A pair of pics from the collection, civil airliner this time, I assume at Shaibah, there are several civil ‘visitors’ recorded.
This is Handley Page HP42E G-AAUC with a wheel problem ! and quality photos from this era in my opinion ?

“Nil illegitmi carborundum” …. Yes had the complete version on my desk for years …. and they tried to !
From what I can gather this person was with 84 squadron ‘full time’ but seemed to spend some time travelling around various places doing whatever ?
Although there is a difference with the serial No of the Anson, I am still so impressed with your research findings.

John, I sense some jubilation in your post ! but no photo, no link ? I am excited !

Keith.

Good evening all, once again thank you all for your posts I knew when I first saw these photos that they would be of intrest to you knowledgable folk, but never dreamed it would be this good ! I hope you are getting as much pleasure as I am, makes the long evenings just fly by (pun).
Just looked at AIX forum, where I have also asked for help, and there are as many possible sites being thrown into the ring, some the same, some different, I am running out of photos of this place with any help included !
But here is another aircraft to add to the mix, same place (I assume), same spot as last photo, this is Gauntlet K4101.

kev35, wow so much research, thank you, the photographer was with 84 squadron, as a squadron leader, which, as I understand, spent almost (if not all) all of its time overseas, the reason I am thinking of Mildenhall is that apparently he spent quite some time there doing …. ?
So much that following his demise, his ashes were scattered there, as this is where he thought he should have died years earlier in an accident … ?
I may be completely wrong with my guesses on location, but all of that muddy grassland is defineatly not Shaibah ! … or is it ?

Keith.

Hi all, I have looked at other photos in this collection, others appear to have the same two hangars, with slightly different views, one shows the large letters G.S ….(maybe more but edge of photo) on the right hand door of the left hangar behind the Hendon.
I have asked the question of location on the AIX forum, they are experts !
There may be another pictorial snippet of help later ????

This collection is in three albums, some with small pieces of info with the photos, and some with nothing ! They are in small groups but, I think, possibly not in chronological order, which for one with little to no knowledge is not helpful !
