Here is Meteor F8/D16 WH453:L at RIAT circa 1989.
Striking colours…

Great pictures Andrew. In fact, great pictures by everyone lately! I really should get a digital camera…
BTW, from which aircraft is the piece of fuselage hanging from the ceiling in the last Spitfire picture?

Ren, thanks for posting. I’ll pop over next door to commercial to have a look.
The Connie is one graceful looking aircraft. Look forward to seeing one soon, hopefully.

The hangar also appears to have the original wartime painted camouflage on the walls?

I’ve walked along the perimeter track at Harrington towards the Thor launch pad areas, in the early 90’s, probably before the museum was established. I will certainly go back and visit the museum, perhaps this summer. I wasn’t aware the operations block had survived as I can only remember seeing the remains of the Thor structures.

Remember seeing those model Wellingtons fly at the LMA show at Cosford in 2002. A 3-ship formation flying low over the airfield made you stop and stare. If only…
Nicely flown as well.

Here is PZ865, this time with Polish 303 Sqn insignia.

Are there any plans for this Lincoln?

Why is this NF.14 painted like this??
Can’t you ask Sharon? 😀 😀

The Sunday Telegraph’s qoute may have been either lazy or mischievous. It may be possible that Hollywood (and Tom Cruise) have taken on board the sentiments felt after the U-571 film, and try to go for a more balanced approach.
Now where’s that straw to clutch….

Just finished the book “First Light”, in which Wellum has a spell at Duxford with 92 Sqn prior to the move to Pembrey. No date given, only generalised as summer 1940.

I must have a look this year. Not seen her before.
BTW, I am assuming those Friday 13th nose art panels at Hendon are from the original. Never noticed them before stuck halfway up the wall, out of the way, without any captions.

Paul
Any clues?

I have the original IL-2, Forgotten Battles and the ACE Expansion Pack. Hopefully Maddox will provide a download patch for a flyable Tempest V at some stage!
🙂 :rolleyes: 😎 :p 😉 😀 :confused: 😮 😮 🙁 😡
Sorry, just thought I’d try the smilies out!

Yep, good clue. Wouldn’t have got it otherwise. 😉
