Blimey – derelict C-Types? Strikes me as unusual as many of these have found a use of some sort over the years and remain in very good condition (I’m thinking Manby or Hemswell for example). I’ve no idea with this one but very good photos 92fis. Any clues?

Chris.

Might be worth finding a copy of the Aircam Aviation Series No. 4 “Supermarine Spitfire Mk.I – XVI” published by Osprey (1968). This has a series of colour, port-side views on LFXVIs in a variety of schemes in colour, most of which are one-offs or personal markings. Unfortunately there are no plan views. I could scan and post it, assuming I wouldn’t be in breach of any copyright!

Didn’t he do a helicopter (R-22?) and car (AC Cobra replica) “…is born” series as well at some point in the distant past?

I do remember this from ages ago – what was the aircraft?

Chris

pongo – inverry is right. It was on ITV 1 LAST Tuesday at 23:00, unless it’s a two-part jobbie, as I see it’s listed again, certainly for the Yorkshire region (I’m hoping a mate has taped it!). I’ve seen these before and you normally have a little aviation – but not much. Mind you, if you’re into classic motoring/motorsport (hands up here for the motorsport!) then it may not hold much interest. It’s an event I’d personally love to go to. Bit pricey though.

That’s VERY weird!!!

Chris

About time! Clue, a squadron was based here that achieved it’s fame flying from an expansion period airfield in the same county!

Yes – I have to give in on #241 WebPilot, unless you have a less cryptic clue, such as which County it’s in! I’m clearly after scoring easy points!!

#254 I think it’s Woodhall Spa.
Better be right as I’m back home after our team won the local pub quiz comprehensively tonight! 😀 Watch it be bloody well wrong now! :rolleyes:

Chris

WebPilot – I only have to nip to the shop for five minutes! Yep – Darley Moor. Home of 42 OTU and now the Darley Moor motorcycle racing track.

#241 – grass surface?

Chris

More clues………………………?

WP – I’m not using Google Earth, I’m using Windows Live (http://www.live.com/?searchonly=true) When you get there, there’s a search field and below it are some links – hit the ‘Local’ link and type in your location query. It’s fairly easy to pick up how to use it and the res is superb. Some areas – but not all – can have a res. as high as 25 yards. Belive me, makes looking at those rural areas not covered by GE a lot easier!

Dean – another Memory Map user, eh?

Anyway, another one. Obscure-ish, I think and still used for a variety of activities today. It was only ever a satellite and only an OTU. That’ll give it away! (Well Webpilot will get it!).
