For Paul of XS186 Crew here a few pics taken on my cheap and nasty Brownie 44a at Woodford,29th June 1968.

I have checked my log Paul and the only J.P.T4s I logged wereXP562,XP686,XS184 and XR702

Actually it’s the prototype HS780,G-ARRV,which became the Andover,that was converted from the Avro748 prototype G-APZV

Not sure of the exact date.I used the printed date on the Kodachrome slide which only gives the month and year it was developed. I do have a slide of G-BHUB somewhere but not taken at the same time as these two.I’ll try to find it tomorrow.

Some really fascinating photos of British civil aviation from the 1950s and 60s.The best posting by far this year,in my opinion.

A C-54 would be an ideal exhibit for the IWM at Duxford to tell the Berlin Airlift story along with the Hastings,but as the IWM no longer want larger aircraft this is probably a non-starter. Another option would be the Speke Aerodrome Heritage Group at Liverpool painted as a Starways DC-4.If the group wanted a DC-4 how about starting an appeal to save one as happened with the Avro748?
There does seem be a great deal of apathy in this country concerning preserving transport aircraft compared to most of Western Europe.

I hope you don’t mind me using your thread Dave, but here’s a few pics for Philip of the Beech 18s on the evening they arrived at Prestwick in August 1981. I think he may have seen a couple of these before.
