There is a fine line between general observation, and the role of self- appointed DIY Accident Investigator, but that aside it is interesting (not to mention tragic) that two display aircraft ( Firefly/Nimrod) departed controlled flight whist performing over Lake Ontario. I think in 1977 (ish) a Fox Moth in Wardair colours also spun into the water there.

This may be related to the perspective/orientation issues that arise when displaying an aircraft over water, a phenomenom which is increased if the vis is poor, with an indistinct horizon, as was the case when the L39 was lost at Eastbourne.

I have the Ken Ellis title ‘British Homebuilt Aircraft’.
What do you need to know?

Never mind eh.

In a couple of years we can have an exciting new thread ;-

”Four large WW2 aircraft found in sea off Thailand ” 😉

‘Plenty of room up top!’

The six year old pics have been de-posted because we each have only a finite posting allocation, and presumably the poster reached his limit, so pulled off some of the old ones, to free up some space and permit the attachment of more contemporary and relevant images.

Welcome Jenna,

Here is a map of Tatling End, where the works are (still, I think ) , located at the top of the Old Amersham Road , by the ‘d’ in Road. Take a look on Google sattelite images for a closer look.

You need to read Arthur Ord Hume’s books for more Luton info as he really is ‘Mr Luton’.

I look forward to seeing the fruition of your research.

That’s my kind of picture!
