Hi Anna,

Another set of nice pix from you… Really like the shadows on the HAC Spit V. Guess the Lanc and the York will be entombed by next weekend so envious of your super pix.

maybe see you at legends else Yeovilton?

If memory serves me right the Sea fury that WOGB had was an FB11 and was ferried back stateside by Mike Wright ie it was a single seater not dual controlled in any way shape or form

WoGB aka Doug Arnold imported the 4 TT20 which were used by the German Airforce (possibly Navy) as Target towers and arrived in an all red colour scheme before being repainted into RN (Korean conflict) colours. Will try and dig out a pic of them all parked outside the Twr at Blackbushe.

Not sure if they all stayed in 2 seat configuration or if they were converted maybe someone on here will remember. G-BCOW Ex ES3615 (mentioned by Stringbag) was coded 252 if i remember rightly. Others were G-BCOV Ex ES3613 G-BCKG Ex ES8509 and G-BCKH Ex ES8502

regards

Red Arrows in formation with the canberra… Bliss!

they can repeat that at Waddington and RIAT… pretty please!

Daft Question…

Were the TT20 imported by Doug Arnold Dual control as well or did the Germans change this for the target towing function??
