    1930’s cigarette card I picked up showing the BA Lockheed 10 Electra G-AEPN, but with the reg and lining in red with black outline – inaccurate, or were only the Super Electras painted with the blue reg and trim?

    ‘early RAF aircraft’? I thought the RAF was formed in 1918….

    Graham, definitely sounds interesting and a worthwhile project – i’m going to the Beehive in a week for a tour around, be interesting to see how much of the interior has been converted by the new owners as ‘serviced office space’

    Especially bearing in mind if you pay the £3.50 for 8 hours you can get the tube into central London for the IWM/Science Museum

    It’s certainly the most expensive bench i’ve ever seen

    I agree with the photographer, the spinning props look great! I visited the Heathrow archives last week to research several 1930’s crashes, as well as to start research into the de Havilland Comet crashes, and will be back before too long – splended archive, even the museum was well worth the early start and long journey down.

    I’m currently researching pre-WW2 civil aviation more and more so any moves to more information on it being available would be welcomed by me

    Brilliant, thanks for the link longshot, very useful – as well as to John and Martin for the information, i’ll have to go down to Grosvenor Gardens with my camera next week. Saw this night pic of a BA Lockheed 10 Electra at the Science Museum, tucked away inbetween the engines in the Flight Gallery, anyone seen it before and know which archive(s) it’s in? Also attached a BA advert from a 1937 edition of Flight

    Thanks James, have picked a copy up off the Air Britain website for £15 with postage – certainly an improvement on the £37 copy I had a quick glance at in Motor Books last week. I’ve put up a few more interesting Lockheed 10 pictures on the British Airways thread for anyone interested

    Don’t have any subscriptions and don’t bother buying unless I look and see it isn’t all cover-to-cover news and articles about Spitfires/Mustangs or other WW2 onwards warbirds – so usually end up with Aeroplane

    Let’s face what?

    The 737 is essentialy almost 60 odd years old. (it uses the same basic 707 fuselage cross section) it seems to sell quite well!

    To be fair, there isn’t a great deal of choice in the market for a narrowbody aircraft of that size – there’s the 737, the A320, and the, errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Spotted the replica First World War A7V tank in the background – is this normally on display at Millom when it’s not at shows?
