    Not even Miss York’s undercarriage could distract Mark 12.

    Memories !
    As a late joiner to this site, I’ve only just got back to this thread.
    I visited Henlow whilst the aircraft were being prepared, and then Duxford the day after the hangar was blown up…weird feeling walking between “bomb craters” and the debris, Those were the days …or at least some of them

    Just for you Old Eagle.

    The Corsair is now owned by Jack Erickson, I believe it is still active on the US display circuit.

    Try this Albert, I tend to agree Guzzineil in that it was blue overall, hopefully Mark 12 will have a shot taken in colour.

    Thanks Von Perthes!

    Posting this late in the day does have its drawbacks.

    Bruce,

    Do you have any photos of TA642 taking part in 633 Squadron, I have heard it was destroyed during the filming, but I have never seen any photos to prove it.

    Scott,

    Have you tried contacting the British Film Institute in London, they may have some paperwork relating to the production.

    I will drop a line to Brian Stainer of APN, Brian photographed the B17 s at Bovingdon.

    All the best

    Superb Phil.

    Aerovin, I’ve just got my copy of Scott Thompsons B25 in Civil Service out of the loft.

    Scott states that Aero American Corp were a subsidary of Aero Associates.

    I would guess that the aircraft was re registered to either avoid oustanding fees or taxes or to buy some time. I doubt we will ever find out the full story. Scott’s book suggests that Greg Board was being sought by the CIA for suspected gun running at around this time!

    Perhaps its best not too delve to deep in the one!

    Thanks for the Photo Phil, its the first I’ve with the Aero Asssociates liverey.

    Being 1964 and post 633 squadron would the B25 ever have flown in this guise.

    Aerovin,

    I think the term purchased or Sold to cannot be applied to this Mitchell.

    The aircraft was obtained from the American Compressed Steel corporation and would be operated by the American Aero Corp under the control of Crewdson’s Film Aviation Services in the UK on behalf of Columbia pictures.

    I think the American civil registration and title of ownership to the American Aero Corp. was kept to ease the paperwork details and speed the process along. If the aircraft had to be re-registered to a new owner it could delay the films production.

    After its use in 633 squadron the aircraft was laid up at Biggin Hill due to a large and unpaid customs bill. (Approx 1964)

    Septic.
