    Have got a couple of photo’s of ‘Bedsheet Bomber’ taken last September at North Weald which I have tried to post but can’t get them to go through, so if anyone would like them e-mailed to them, I can do that.
    (Probably me doing something wrong – more interested in old aircraft than I am in computers!)

    When did the B(I)8 go to NZ?
    I was there in April ’04 and the only Canberra I recall was an ex RAAF one (unless it is being kept away from Wigram?)

    Gentlemen,
    Thankyou for posting those, although sad.
    As a child I remember the white Vulcan and Victor at Cosford, my local museum, and when I heard they were to be scrapped I pestered my parents until they took me there, to get photos of them both before they vanished. Sadly by then they had both been scrapped and I never got a single photo of either.
    Question though – Is the Meteor NF14(?) in the last picture the one that is now in camo colours at Coventry, and am I correct in thinking it is the prototype NF14, or at least an early pre-production one?

    I seem to recall a photo of the Lakenheath Thud in a display at the Midland Air Museum, Coventry. Think it was a display about their recovery group – didn’t they get the Voodoo and Phantom from Lakenheath? or was it Upper Heyford?

    Was PH-PBY at Duxford some years ago, at the Classic Fighters Show (pre-Legends days)?
    Seem to remember one being there in Dutch colours, instead of Plain Sailings Cat.

    Does anyone know the current status of either Catalina?
    I was down at Lee On Solent on the 30th December, and could see, from the main road, both Cat’s outside.
    The ex-Plain Sailing one still without the wing, and I couldn’t see much of the ex-Greenpeace one except for the wing and the rudder.
