    Well identified, it was indeed Janie with Big Beautiful Doll at 5000 feet going home, were you listening to Waddington radio?

    Oooooh now that’s a difficult one I suspect it would be the August 03 article entitled ‘Janie’ and Friends 😀

    Brilliant, another person alienated for posting a valid question 😡 Especially when they went to the trouble of finding out for themselves after we couldn’t answer the question and was generous enough to post the answer so as we all knew. Not a good sign for a Thursday

    🙁 🙁

    OK, there will be a fleet of 10 La7’s at Duxford on Sunday, that was confirmed by the till operator at Tesco’s garage tonight when I filled my Airbus full of kangaroos.

    Thought it was a valid question personally, you hear something, want to know if there is any truth in it so ask the question to see what anyone else may have heard, thats what keeps the message boards going, hate for another aircraft to go missing this year, the last one caused me no end of worry in tracking it down.

    The Russavia Rapide accident was on 21st June 1987 IIRC, for some reason the IWM tried the idea of some airshow car parking on the live side, only once though.

    That should please those who have spent many many hours rebuilding these aircraft, not to mention those who have invested many thousands of pounds in them.

    Airfields of the 8th is a very good book, but it was written 25 years ago (mine was anyway) Incredible to look at some of the airfields such a short time ago and see what they are like now. I can think of one that was substantially complete and is now an open quarry 😡

    Looks like it was a good day.

    :p 😀 :p

    TESCO’s??????? What’s that then? Is that not a place where women can hone their dubious driving skills with a large 4 wheeled basket? :confused:

    You mean short skinny legs, a large nose and very broad shoulders that are either eliptical or not depending upon her rate of roll? Oh and a pointy tail :p

    Seems to me like a similar case with the Buchon/Me109G conversions that abound.

    But surely tou would need to change the engine mount and the associated strengthening otherwise the Merlin would fall out of the Griffon mount?
