Thanks Auster Fan, an engaging programme which I would otherwise have missed. It was good to have a presenter who was not only personally engaged – which seems mandatory for most docs these days – but also a professional journalist. Also, it’s good to look at the story of “ordinary” fliers rather than just the aces. Except of course they were all great heroes; ordinary could never apply.

This picture taken at the Open Cockpit evening at Cosford doesn’t add much but I thought you might be interested.

I know it’s not re the Oxford but I think the Rover P6 came out in 1963 not 1961.

Thank you Ian. I was curious about the gravity of the magazine. If it was aimed at schoolchildren, then that might explain a slightly cavalier attitude to, er, attitude. However, as it’s the respected Flying Review I assume it was shown in good faith.

I note that the BEA Trident logo is also removed.

I also ove the erudition of this forum, I have never heard of Chekhov’s gun before. Thank you for the education!

Sorry BPAG, I was a bit too terse in my question. I meant between now and the show. I am just intrigued as to whether it will be kept at the museum or in the RAF station?

Yes FP, exactly what I meant.

I suspect that the major issue is that whilst the wreckage is interesting to most users of this forum, it needs to be displayed with a wider audience in mind. That the wreckage has been stabilised and is being conserved is the most important aspect.

I think the Boulton Paul museum had one of the power actuators.
