nope….compass swinging with a compass rose in the words of a famous song…’same as it ever was!’

Ah, ok. Thanks; I’d been told this type (with the vertical grip) was somehow used for that purpose, but couldn’t picture it. That’ll be why!

Under-rated?

Isn’t this the one with the non-elliptical (squashed) planform wings? If so, “blech” is all I can say. Looks like a (bad) artist’s rendition of the design. If not, then move along, nothing to see here!

He’s a big softy, unless you look like lunch or try to feed him raw meat. Any other food he’l just nibble from your fingers, raw meat brings out the wild side so it’s best to throw it to him if you want to keep all your fingers.. or both hands.. His sister is the same way.
If ya hold a biscuit in your hand they will run past flat out & take it barely touching your skin….
They howl at fire trucks etc …. & have taught every dog in the neighbourhood to howl.. including the 3 dobermans just up the street, the owner isn’t too happy about it for some reason…

So which is he? Pure wolf I’m not overly concerned about, having sat with one and rubbed its tummy (aw); its the hybrids that are supposed to be the aggressive dangerous ones. In fact they’re illegal in quite a lot of places as I understand it. Whatever the case, he’s beautiful!

Yikes man, that looks like either a full-blood wolf or a dog-wolf hybrid. 😮

It’s an Americanism, is it not? Not sure I see the relevance of its usage to this thread though. The Duxford marketing term is “Historic Aircraft” as far as I know.

Goody. Another immortal Bedism which I shall deploy the very next time I have the chance.

I think it’s actually a Twelveism. Amusing nonetheless!

So if they must stay why can’t they be displayed over the north side? Plenty of room & there is a fair sized hanger at the back. So those that are interested only have to cross the road.
Agreed as goes Don’s demise but there was never a cause found in OH-B’s & the most likely was the canopy leaving the aircraft & knocking him out.

There is zero space to store, let alone display the entire contents of LWH plus the maritime collection, on the North Side. Nor is there the capacity, manpower etc to open North Side as open storage, let alone as a properly interpreted part of the museum. Besides, I happen to think the LWH is one of the best features of Duxford, with some quite wonderful contextual interpretation and atmosphere. People often say the aviation world doesn’t revolve around Duxford, well, the military historical world doesn’t revolve around aviation either.
