    This was also the first Spitfire I ever saw in the flesh , must have been in the early 60’s at Eastleigh in the pale blue overall scheme .

    Some years ago I was trawling the Net , I think I was looking for information or pictures of DHC Chipmonks and I am sure I came up with a picture of one somewhere in North Africa and there on the edge of the same apron was the hulk of a Maryland in much the same condition as this one is described as being in .

    Yes he is mentioned in Vol 9 , but not in my 1992 edition of Vol 1 .

    Very disappointed to read of this termination . Seems to be the work of civil servants educated beyond their intelligence . I would like to thank all the Bluebird team for their efforts to recreate a missing piece of history and for making it possible for us all to watch as it happend too . I will miss this thread , one of the best written on here .

    I seem to remember the A4s being towed up the main street in Auckland from the docks .

    The house in question is near Hitchin in Hertfordshire and is currently a Sue Ryder Home , but in the mid 1950’s was in use as a school .

    No I do not think so , as it was taken earlier than that ,I believe the guy involved had family near where I lived in Hertfordshire and the picture was taken on a visit to them .

    Thank you , that is interesting as the guy the photo was supplied by was said to be involved with Intelligence rather than flying . I think I was hoping for maybe a Spitfire PRXIX or Meteor PR9 , but an Anson will do .
