    Hey if we are talking poor airliner shots then here’s my offering… taken at Stansted in April this year. In my defence it was the first time i had seen an IL-62 and had to capture it with what i had very quickly.!

    According to the BBC news an Air traffic controller has been suspended after it became known that they were making a private phone call when the two craft collided… unbelievable.! There supervisor has also been suspended pending an investigation.

    This is our latest exhibit to arrive donated by a local buisnessman. I will post his name on my next post as I have forgotten it!

    We belive the kit was not finished due to the CAA not allowing BD5s to be flown in the UK. The aircraft was reputedly difficult for fast jet pilots to fly, let alone a homebuilder with a PPL. It is a prop kit with no engine.

    A similar AcroStar jet was used in the 1983 James Bond film ‘Octopussy’, appearing from the back of a horsebox whilst being towed along. Might be worth mentioning that to joe public on the item description board.. a good talking point anyway.!

    Could also try ARCO at Duxford… as they did after all operate the Golden Apple T33 until its demise.

    Hi Kalina, i cannot help much i’m afraid except that i remember seeing your father and Barbel in the Invader at Duxford during the 1990’s, and would i be right in thinking that he was wearing odd shoes.? Anyway best of luck with your quest.;)

    The Cat’ has got to be one of the most beautiful planes ever made, but beautiful in a strange way, can’t quite but my finger on it.
    Whats happening with the CASA 2.111/Heinkel 111, is it being restored to flying or static condition?
    I presume they’ll be fitting with merlins if it is being restored.

    The ‘He 111’ is going to be static only i’m afraid. Any ideas of her taking to the skies again disappeared when Mark Hanna was killed, as it was he and the OFMC who acquired and arranged her delivery under an HC-53.. she was then sold onto to the IWM.

    The Catalina must be one of the busiest warbirds in the UK. I would say on most thursdays / fridays she departs away for the weekend.. returning either on the following sunday or monday!

    Love the sign on the second pic.. “No Dumping”, on a dump.? Bit like the sign in Essex directing you to the “secret nuclear bunker”.:D
