Mark 12,

Perhaps you ought to produce more books based on your photographic archive? Maybe like the wrecks and wrelics series, only by years or decades?
Just a thought….

Title is correct…jet is short for turbojet ( an engine type that gets its motive power from the jet of material pushed backwards)….a turboprop only gets the minority of its power from the jet effect, most from the propeller….they are both turbine powered though.

That’s a longshot… 😉

Clearly, you have little understanding of what is involved, including engineering, piloting and paperwork.

Mods,
This is why quoting people ‘should’ be encouraged. Oily rag has made a statement that infers someone above is unknowledgeable about the processes of the engine conversion, but we don’t know to which post he refers.

In the meantime OR, would you care to elaborate?

Black Spit. It’s in primer….

On the BBMF Dak, the door is strapped to the floor in the middle of the cargo area.

Meh. Carbs and silencers. Willy will be turning in his grave…

What an attitude.

What do you expect, something thats not been touched in any way since rolling out of Castle Bromwich?

Perhaps if this was a rusty bit of scrap dug out of a hole or a piece of something vaguely aeroplane-looking from an Aerojumble eh?

Its a flying Spitfire. If that doesnt please you, you need to go back to collecting stamps or standing on train stations with a thermos of weak lemon drink.

Oh the irony to suggest that we are in some way superior to rail enthusiasts! It took me 5 minutes to wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes before typing this response. Well done sir!

I travelled with Stephen Grey from Geneva today. I’m glad Legends continues.
