G-ANLO and WG240

I was at Farnborough on 12 September 1954, and can confirm that G-ANLO and WG240 were there.

I agree that the BA Museum and Archive is a great place, and the people who run it, on very much a voluntary basis, are so keen to help. I was doing some research on the opening up of the Imperial route through the Middle East in the 1930s a year or two back. They have a seriously large and professional archive of Imperial, BOAC, BEA and onward. Rivals (and partly duplicates) the Kew National Archives on those subjects. But let them know you are coming, as they are not always open.
They deserve a bigger home, and it would be nice if BA could help them out!

Warhawk: I recall seeing Pterodactyl J8067 at the Kensington Science Museum way back in 1977.

The same photograph also appears in the West Berks Countryside Society site on “World War 2 at Haw Farm”, page 4, labelled “glider towers awaiting disposal”.

Thanks Avion. My eyes didn’t detect that square “0”.

Thanks also Mothminor for the information.

I’m one of the old timers, but haven’t been active for a while. Maybe things will change. I’m glad there is some good stuff coming in.Cheers.

Thanks for the additional details Monsieur Avion. Dave asked for any photos of these aeroplanes. I dutifully checked mine and found one which might be G-AGUF, but I negligently didn’t label it, but you can see others on the abpic site: https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/registration/G-AGUF

and probably of the others too.
