Hi Roobarb

F-BFYX (N108U) Yellow 14 flown to US by John & his then fiancee Jean, this aircraft was later destroyed in a hangar fire.

and F-BGVU (N107U) owned by Greg Board but ferried by Francis Freeman and photographer Robin Carruthers, this aircraft had the Chevron markings. The aircraft crash landed on the ice at Pirates Cove and sank.

I will scan some rather poor images later in the meantime here is an image prior to filming.

If the Guy Richie project does go into production, It will no doubt be ripped to shreds in terms its use of authentic equipment and historical accuracy, but at least it would have been made, which can only be good for anyone interested in this all consuming hobby of ours.

Hopefully young enthusiasts will be inspired by such productions, I was first inspired to get interested in aviation by the BBC tv series Wings, which today looks pretty awful in its quality of production, yet at the time I thought it was unmissable.

Having just watched Guy’s latest Sherlock adventure, ‘A game of Shadows’, he will no doubt carry over some of his trade mark slow motion, close up and handheld action to this this proposed battle of Britain drama.

I personally can’t wait to see the 303’s ripping through the fuselage of some CGI Emil. I can almost guarantee it won’t be anything like the Docudrama approach of BoB or involve as many real aircraft as PoC, but commercially it has to be successful and Richie will I’m sure deliver the goods.

Sorry to hear of your sad loss.

RIP BJS.

Try this shot of Yellow 4 taken at Duxford.

At one time Yellow 4 also flew with full wingtips. As Roobard mentioned Yellow four is stored at Big Spring complete with its smoke generator mounts attached.

As for identity G-AWHI (Sn. 166) but for real confirmation, maybe Roobard could ask Connie to have a look inside the canopy next time he’s in the hangar!

What an amazing achievement, hopefully we will see the aircraft find its way to the UK in the future.

Does anyone know who the test pilot will be, I’m guessing that the former BAE Mosquito pilots, George Ellis and Peter Henley have now retired from flight testing.
