New members first posts dont get much better than this. Welcome teddymax (Frank). There’ll be some members simply drooling over these superb images 🙂

Thanks for the link Carpetbagger.

As above. Great compilation of her history in words and photos.

Also i was very lucky to of seen this flying, but just the once, when it flew over the village of Gt Shelford which is about 3 miles from Dx as the crow flies.. circa 1990. Heard it coming before i could see it but couldn’t make out what it was from the sound.

Looks like John Romain flying it, bet he never imagined he’d be flying it one day when he was a schoolboy working for OHB

I knew he had flown it as no2, but not solo.

Very nice Al… you must be quite chuffed with that 🙂

Great photos as ever everyone. By the way are there any stretched DC-8’s still flying?

Hold yer horses Bruce, it hasnt sold at that price yet 🙂

Ok thanks anyway. It is good to hear your reminisces about Merryfield. Anymore that you can share with us? 🙂
