Just taken a look and left a comment. Its great to see her looking so good again and with repairs completed too. Roll on 2013 🙂

Just realised that Graveley’s control tower is still there, albeit now converted into a house :).

Its sad in a way but to be fair i think there’s very little of the airfield left now thats recognisable anyway.

A10’s were certainly at Alconbury during the early nineties, as i recall watching them on long finals whilst working in the village of Over.

Nice anecdote ozplane.

How about this one http://www.flyingstations.com/wyvern.html

Thats a very commendable effort which i do like, and its always refreshing to see less obvious types getting some attention.
If i was picky i could highlight a few errors on it….. but i won’t.

Trips to RNAS Ford in the mid-fifties forged my interest in the Wyvern. I first saw in at Farnborough as a toddler!! Found this marvellous footage which includes a Wyvern take-off at 3mins.http://forums.flyer.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=74375

Yes thats a lovely clip too Charlie. Just wish that Python could be heard :).

The boys’ prize is one of those things that I would love to travel back in time and be part of, suspect you as well Rob!

Indeed so James. I’ll admit to feeling a tinge of jealousy on watching that clip.

When i was at school in the late seventies i did go on a trip to RAF Halton, and got to sample wall to wall Sea Vixens, JP’s, Gnats etc. But sadly no big ‘verns for me during my time, as i’m too young!

Very nice John. Always good when original parts turn up.
