    The BAPC listing, compiled by Peter Kirk in 2003, also has the following:

    1064 (Honiton) ATC
    Birmingham MSI (VII) – presumably in store with all their other aero engines
    Cambridge Uni (VII) sectioned
    Brenzett (IIa) ex crash-site
    Rolls-Royce HT (IIa) at Derby (owned by Cranfield Uni?)
    RAFM (IIa) in Tempest NV778
    RAFM (III)
    RAFM (VII) x 2 – presumably one of these or the Srs III Cees listed as on display in front of Typhhon
    Science Museum are listed as having two – a IIa and a sectioned IIb

    I assume that at least one of the Sabre of the Science Museum is at Wroughton. There are several Napier Engines over there.

    On the Spitfire front; MT818/G-AIDN in the UK, PV270 a Mk IX in New Zealand and finally, I hope at last, Seafire XV PR503 in the US.

    Isn’t it time for a ‘new’ Spitfire from HFL?

    love this post 😀

    I agree. Peashooter no option for me though, and would trade the Guiness for a decent Real Ale.

    Is she lying on the wing of a Hawk?

    I don’t need to say which one I like the most. But they are all great pictures. Thanks for sharing them with us for all these years Darren.

    VBR,
    Stieglitz

    Yes the shot with the 2 Stieglitzes is even better than the other very good pictures.

    Would be nice to find one in such condition!!

    Is it the port wing on the foreground?

    What happens to the stuff they dig up, there is a lockable bin in the background, let me guess, off to the scrapyard ?

    Amazing someone in the western world is still building houses, maybe Dutch banks were far more sensible 🙂

    Good chance that several parts will be donated to a museum.

    Great pictures. I don’t understand why they do a photo shoot with such a grey sky. But it’s good to see that not all aircraft are unflyable due to annual maintenance.

    I don’t know what S1 markings are. Is it something like this?: http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/models/Aircraft/Grunau-Baby

    Thanks. The “downward winglets” are no real winglets. Maybe they help to reduce induced drag a little bit. Their main task is to keep the wing surface off the ground in order to prevent scratches on the lower side of the wing.

    Great pictures, thanks for sharing.

    I still like the Red Arrows most. Their formations are very clean (not as close as those of the Blue Angels) and they do the formation changes during the time that the audience see them (Blue Angels don’t).

    Hi GliderSpit,

    The larger version can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jameswheeler/2919061636/sizes/o/

    It’s a GREAT shot of two great aircraft. The light gives this picture a fantastic atmosphere. Thanks for posting.
