    Having 2 pics means you can look the other way if problems arise…

    Spitfireman, I think you have far too much time on your hands. :rolleyes:

    Oh yes, what made me smile today was Charlie the tabby growling at a geranium I had placed on the shed roof.

    At my previous doctor, I reported at reception as requested on the large sign, in Hindi, Greek, Jamaican?, Urdu and finally English. I stated my name and said I had an appointment. “Which doctor?” was the response, so I retorted “No thanks, I prefer a normal one”. I thought her product that reduces the 10 signs of aging would crack, but alas no… :diablo:

    In VFR flight, you don’t fly into fog, cloud or anything else that prevents you seeing the ground. One wonders why they were below the height of lumps of rock too.

    Has it been determined if it was a IFR or VFR flight?

    Here’s a bit more info on G-ACYR. According to Leslie Hunt’s Veteran & Vintage Aircraft 4th Edition of 1974, he states: G-ACYR c/n 6261 was charted from Olley Air Services to fly Franco from Morocco to Spain pre-war. It was dismantled at Desford post-war and thought sold to General Franco 1954 for the museum.
    Assuming that is true, then it is the original.

    I’m pretty certain it is the original G-ACYR, unless someone knows otherwise? I seem to recall seeing something at Croydon in 1959 in Olley Air Services colours to, but alas the memory is dimming!
