Herald / Viscount – first turboprop airliners (i think)
The Viscount was the first turboprop in airline service. My favourite airliner, I have fond memories of them going over the house on approach to Renfrew Airport.
What I’d give to hear the whine of 4 Darts again.

I’d love to join you at Old Warden, but …
If you return in September for the Shuttleworth Pageant, I’ll be there. Or why not make a trip north and we can arrange an introduction to Scottish ales and, of course, a whisky tasting.
enjoy

difficult, but keeping to pics I’ve taken myself this one keeps cropping up. Taken at the Shoreham air display in Sept 2002.

Or for a real air display, head along to the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden. Lots of flying days through the year.

Nice pics. Any update on the Loch Doon Spitifre II restoration?
They are skinning the central section of the fuselage, but it looks like it will be a long time. Unfortunately it was too cramped in the polytunnel to get any photos, will try to get some hsots next time I’m down.

Speed limits: yes motorway speed limits should be increased, but with the proviso that drivers have 6inch spikes fitted to the centre of the streering wheel and are forbidden to wear seat belts.
Alcohol: age limit should be raised to 75. That way I wouldn’t spend all my money on it. hic.
can I have a lemon one?
