I remember going to the airshow at Finningley and having the car fully searched with mirrors underneath and having to open the boot so nothings changed much.

The fully thing is all three would get exactly the same shot – how boring is that!

I’d recommend the longest lens you can get your hands on if you have an SLR and if you can afford it a monopod and decent (7 element) 2x converter

Hi Dave, I run a website dedicated to RAF Worksop. Do you know what he did at the airbase – Guessing it was a refresher course if he was in a 4FTS Meteor?

I’d question why only 4 photos and those taken outside of the aircraft at the side are so far way? I’d have taken a side on so serial would be visible. Something dodgy about the lighting too.

VZ519 flew until 1958 – it should be VZ510 according to UKserials.com

Aye:
AIR 29/2694 £1,823.00
Your instructions Copy all pages in this document
Comments from staff
Copying Process No. of Units Unit Cost Process Cost
ScanA3online 650 £2.80 £1,820.00
Additional charge for CD-ROM 1 £3.00 £3.00

Ouch! how much would it actually cost to scan a page??? – normally about 10p to do a photocopy so how they can justify £2.80 is beyond me

Anyway 2 more pictures to add today of Vampires – not sure if either of them are Worksop yet but they’re somewhere between 1955 and 57 as thats how long one of them lasted!

Photos/Coming Soon…

Starting to get some great photos back of the airbase so I’ve started splitting them into sections for ease of referencing.

National Archieves offered to photocopy the station ORB for nearly £2000 so politely turned that down – I’ll have to go over and look at it in person.

Turns out the airfield never had an open day – the event in 1958 was an Inter-command aerobatics competition.

Coming soon…
“Call the fire brigade” – NCO tells how to avoid landing on tanks at Gamston, how THREE Meteors crashed on the airfield in one night, details of the fire vehicles at Worksop, skiing on the runway and lots of photos including the control tower!

Here’s another ad which mentions a book and a phone number – maybe you could give them a call 🙂

Possibly try an old Kelly’s directory for anything else – sure they’ll be a second hand bookshop around that has them

Also apologies to the Mods for the million original posts 🙂
