One of the reasons TWL was filmed in black and white was to allow them to resuse footage from both Twelve O’Clock High and the original Memphis Belle.

Wasn’t Wyler’s Memphis Belle shot in colour!

[QUOTE=David Burke]The Proctor was bought by Trent Aero and sold on to a ‘collector’ near Kenley
who subsequently destroyed it!

David, do you know for certain that this airframe was lost, as at one time it was rumoured to have been joining Thameside Aviation Museum.

Did Ken Ellis (wrecks and relics) finally clear this airframe off the lists or is it just currently lost like the Battle of Britain film Proctuka.

I know of this Kenley collector, if the airframe was ‘destroyed’ components of G-ANZJ would have been saved, I’m sure.

Good shots I was there that day, never did see the mossie fly as she had some sort of problem that day

I can’t remember what day I went to Biggin in ’87, but the Mosquito did eventually display. I seem to remember it was after most people had gone home. It was great to see RS712 airborne for the first time, unfortunately the light conditions did not help my limited photographic ability and camera equipment.

Any chance of a photo of the Harvard itself?

Try this, its not one of my own so I don’t know when or where it was taken.

[QUOTE=Robbo]I’ll certainly be dropping in to watch NX611 – anyone else coming along?

I’ll be there, hopefully this time I might get to East Kirkby before closing time.

I remember a picture in one of the magazines (Aircraft Illustrated, IIRC) in the late ’70s of the DAS Varsity (WJ945 / G-BEDV) doing a touch-and-go at Old Warden. And of course that was before the runway was extended to its present length. 😮

The DAS Varsity continued to fly at OW into the early 80’s, I can well remember seeing it touch and go but this was the only shot of it I could find, dead stick landing methinks!

I’m not sure, I’ll have a look through my old photos/programmes to see if I can find out.

That is one stunning image though. Quite aside from the picture quality (which really isn’t that bad, IMO), that’s one big, fast aeroplane, coming in to touch pretty much on the numbers, on what was then a VERY short grass strip, with quite a crosswind too. Very nice bit of flying, whoever it was. 🙂

Glad you like the shot Steve,

I just wish I had a better camera and lens back then, I seem to remember I had a Olympus OM 10, with manual adapter for the shutter, coupled to a Hanimex 80-200 + 2 converter, hence all the grain.

[QUOTE=benyboy]At least I think so. This picture is from a collection of shuttleworth pics I recently bought. If this is taken at the same event I could now have a date for my pics

benboy, the Jaguar photo was taken at the 1986 Military display, it shouldn’t be too hard to find out the exact date. Shuttleworth must keep a record of past events.

I am currently looking at possible airshows to go to this summer. I have never been to La Ferte Alais, and would like to hear from forum members who have what they think about it. I wouldn’t mind seeing some of the French planes as the only show there I’ve been to was Flying Legends at Lyon – Bron in 1994. Due to bad weather a lot of planes never made it so the overall number was down. Any advice, globetrotters… 🙂

T J

TJ, make the effort to go, a superb show at a great location.

When I get home this evening I’ll post a few photos that will hopefully give a taste of what LFA is all about.

DB, I seem to remember the Jag just touching, but its almost 20 years ago now and my memory isn’t quite what it was.

Does anyone know when the French Air Force are due to retire their Jaguars, atleast they may soldier on a while longer with the Indian Airforce.
