Either this or something similar has been posted before. Still interesting though!
You going along Rob?
Sadly not James, as i cannot spare the time on a weekday. But i really do wish them well with this.
Yes Cees, but is there anywhere near as much Botha material left to start with?
Would like to be proved wrong if anyone knows.
That looks like one worth watching.
Always worth keeping an eye on ebay guys, as recently Chippie parts have been popping up quite often!
Thats got to be a fake… the weathering is all wrong 😀
I’ll second that 🙂
Westland Wyvern… No less than three different engines of two different types (piston and turboprop). Deepened fuselage and modified mainplanes, constantly updated tail unit and flying surfaces, canopy, propellers, and not to mention the numerous changes made to refine an engine designed for bomber aircraft and make it suitable for use in a strike fighter. The list is endless!
NB.. Not forgetting seven years of development from first flight to release for squadron service.
Very nice find you’ve got there Brian 🙂
Your welcome.
I also have a Russavia green ticket for the same aircraft issued by Swb, the flight being on the 13.4.86 that cost £9… and a yellow ticket issued by PM that cost £8 for a DC-3 for the 6.7.85 , take off 1.15 & landed 1.26. But sadly i didnt note down the reg.
Have a funny feeling though it was a Air Atlantique DC-3!
Could be this one Martin
Whatever they are its a fantastic find Denis. Just love it when parts like this still turn up!
Russavia Rapide.
Knew i had these somewhere. My first ever flight, in Russavia’s Rapide G-AGTM at Duxford. On the back of the ticket i have written 17.3.85, took off 3.10 – landed 3.22. Also kept the double sided info/safety sheet and the still unused sticker i was given… and all for £8 🙂
The Coventry based Classic Flight Meteor T7 just did a run and break then landed at Dx. First time i’ve seen her… fantastic!
Very impressive. You guys certainly dont hang about once you’ve got the green light :).
