When I saw it I thought it suggested that this unfortunate event was recent but I wonder if it was planned some years ago as on a visit to Scampton on 22 March 2009 I noted that the slab had been removed. Maybe it was reinstated in the meantime, but maybe this was already considered to be unsuitable for modern eyes ten plus years ago. Not that this is a particularly public place, on a then active RAF base.
Not adding much to the thread but I note that on 21.12.2008 Willip26 asked how many of our contributors might have see G-ADNL “in the flesh”. There were a couple of answers, but I can add myself, as I saw it on 13 July 1957 at Westwood (my local airfield at Peterborough). Quite a sight for a keen teenager. Especially as it was accompanied by Mew Gull G-AEXF. I think that was the day before the King’s Cup at Baginton.
As trumper and TonyT say (15 July), it would be good to keep the static exhibits with their original, even if faded, colours. Not many, for example, Mosquitos around with that!
Yes, Mothminor, but it was so good to see the pictures! Thanks again for that. Do we know what the real date was? I learned to fly on the Tiger Moth, but I was not shown how to pick up handkerchiefs.
I agree it might not be in the UK. From the aircraft parked on the right it might be at an open day of some sort. Am I hallucinating or could some of the parked aircraft be French Vautours?
Just to say, cher avion ancien, that I second what you write. We don’t need this sort of window dressing, nor can we tolerate that sort of language. If that is what we might expect from this blatantly advertised “book” I would rather not know. And to have the forum polluted twice on the same theme …
