Wow – you’re not wrong about that guy’s panel restoration 😮

Handy link that – have just registered myself as I will find it very useful and informative – thanks….

Assuming we’ve nailed the location – it is possible that you took the above shots from the albeit limited viewpoint from ground level to the right of the old terminal building, alongside the spiral staircase that was a spotters favourite at the time. I certainly did the same, and suspect my shots which are stashed in the loft show the same angle from around the same time period before airport security ended the access point I mention….

Indeed the RAF made use of Derwents after their flying time was over – in the form of the well-known MRD Snow Removal vehicles attached to Bowsers.. 😉

It is my understanding that several were lost during the period of use at Llanbedr. If you search on Youtube for Llanbedr Firefly there are several videos showing their demise….

I’m on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/hunterxf382 on which I also tweet updates done to the facebook presence of fly2help (who also have their own Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/fly2help) 😀

They were very impressive indeed – some great work has gone into them and I’m amazed how they operate the wingwalker models seperately to the aircraft….. stunning display 🙂

Not you Richard – this website has come in for some criticism both on here and on AiX too:

On the linked Aix thread some editing was done after the outburst referenced to – seems someone doesn’t like to hear the truth 😉
