    Lak5 Nemunas. From the 0001 serial this is, I presume, the ex CCCP-0001 prototype.

    Edited to say now I have clicked on the thumbnail the title of the slide comes up!

    While waiting for the chance to try an “easy, what, where, when” challenge, I may just say that I discovered the new Google trick last week. I tried it and it can give some hilarious results. Just stick in any old aeroplane photo and see what it comes up with!

    I doubt if that crane will fly again, but this Dove might after “major overhaul”

    Yes, I have many other things to do (not necessarily “better” though). The only wreckage I ever came across on a “high pasture” (not alpine though) was the Venom at 2000m in Oman. Nowadays you are more likely to collide with a passing hang-glider or “parapente” than find a Phoenix, risng from the ashes or not. But it might be fun trying. Trouble is, the “French Alps” covers a mighty big chunk of terrain.

    Well I guess after a year and a half they are not going to reply! Pity. It would have been worth finding.
    I have just sent the BEA a message on their website, just in case.

    Not scanned slides, but relevant to the Huskie trend:
    HH43P fuselage in the dump at the PAF Museum in Karachi, 2007. No serial visible.

    But the fins of 62-4553, 4556 and 4557 were alongside.

    Oddly, 62-4556 is on display at the museum so the fins must have been changed.

    Interesting when you start looking at old slides 40 years later: the KC135 seems to have its port outer missing!
    In fact there seems to be a gentleman in brown trousers taking a photo of it. Maybe he is on this forum!

    Prompted by Alan’s pictures, I scanned a few slides from Upper Heyford open day 14 June 1969. Note the excellent weather and excellent access to the aircraft.

    Pagen: can’t view them? Is that you or me?
    Yes, it could be one of those. The colours look T2-like.
    D1566: you obviously can see them! Yes, a Britannia.
