    Great photos David. So nice to see vintage light aeroplanes. The Piper Colt is a beaut!

    Great pics. All those lovely Austers! What a surprise to see an Agricola. The only other time I can recall seeing one of them was Farnborough 195???
    Thanks

    More happy Lincoln memories! My last fight as an Air Cadet was in 1957, in a Lincoln from Lindholme. 90 minutes night flying over the Humber estuary. Unforgetable!, especially the glowing exhaust stacks of the Merlins. Sad that so few have survived.

    Lovely pictures. Brings back memories of the RNG&SA at Lee-onSolent in the late 50’s. We also used balloon winches and if I remember correctly we would get our T-21 up to 1200 feet on the launch. One of the members used his Austin A-105 Westminster for car tows off the hard runway.
    Happy Days!

    Great pics DCW. Loved the “Transports of Delight” quartet, especially the Ansons. My first ever flight was in an Anson.
    Thanks

    Talking as we were of’Insensitivity’
    As Australians, Kiwis, Canadians et.al all had a very significant part in the last ‘big event’ and as they seem to me to be singularly under-represented in the RAFM (especially when compared with the USAAF), the RAAF Hudson should be left as it is.
    My thoughts anyway

    The S-38 has been back at the builders in Owatonna, Minnesota since Kermit Weeks had it shipped back from Europe earlier this year. I’ve not read anything about it flying again since then.

    Thanks for the update Mike. I wonder what it was then? Perhaps the ghostly spectre of a Stranraer from 70 years ago ???

    The Arrow nose section is currently on display in the CASM in Ottawa. The museum also holds the outboard wing sections and an Irroquois engine.
    It seems to me that Myths surrounding the Arrow have become more powerful than the history. I’m a volunteer interpreter at CASM and I can tell you that the Arrow remains are by far the most looked for exhibits in the museum. So much for museums wasting tax payers $$$’s on the Arrow.

    Looking good Tom. Is that the B-25 that flew with CWH (along side ‘Grumpy’) back in the 1980’s?
