Avro project
Well that will explain it then! i vaguely recall reading that somewhere now you mention it, I had the priviledge of meeting Godfrey Auty some years ago and he was a lovely unassuming modest Gentlemen, He told me he was picked to fly the 188 cos he was of a smaller stature and if youve ever seen the cockpit of that aircraft you can well believe it.

It looks very Bristol 188 to me.

Also, does that overstarand look like a westland dragonfly or is it just me?
aerojumble
yes i too popped over on monday afternoon, definately the best value show ive been to for a while, infact since the days i used to sneak into the weston park airshow for nothing as a kid through a small gate off the A5! The sound of that Hercules radial was fantastic! I didnt catch his name but the chap who was running it was very helpful and co-operative too! a chap fom uttoxeter? Apparently hes got a Griffon too and will be running this at future events.Well done for braving the elememts and carryiong on, i beleieve other tarnsport events around the country had been cancelled due to the cold spell.I look forward to next year.

I dont suppose you chaps are planning on firing her up again this weekend? Im off work and would drag myself across to witness the wonderful sight and sound!
Mmmmm. let me see; …… Modern and difficult to move?…….. A hot tub?
Thats it! they feel it ‘unfitting’ to exhume the dog!

No2 alive!

desert shack
im amazed if shes still that intact. I read somewhere that they were planning on blowing the hulk up as passing airliners in the region kept reporting the remains as a new crash?
John ‘Jeff’ Hawke in just about any big piston machine, but i reckon he could make a B-25 sing!
Dc-6 G-APSA
So, has the DC-6 been in the hangar over the winter months or out on the ramp? if shes been inside then i guess theres a chance some of that corrosion work has been dealt with, a very good sign indeed! however it may just be that theres a TV deal or something that warrants the seats going back inside.
