Bring back the “OK” on the tail ! or is that my age showing 😮 It’s not too bad but i think they should have used the Czech flag in the design.

A sad day for aviation and motorsport fans…..both great losses.

Thats a new MR.4 Nimrod you lucky so and so ! You are right in not being allowed to take photo’s because there is a big sign saying so further up near the parking spot on that road, but no-one pays attention to it ! I have loads of pictures of the Nimrod AEW’s when they were hot stuff…even hotter when they melted them down to ingots !
Good to see the nose back near 603,i wonder what the plans are now for her,seams a lot of trouble to re-fit a part on a supposed condemned airframe ?????

Stansted 1985

A few more shots from my old negative collection of the airliner scrapyard at Stansted plus a few old jems of the non scrapped variety.Sorry about the quaility,a mix of old age and bad storage have not helped.

The Intercontinental DC-8 was i think the one that hit the Flying Tigers DC-8 a few years earlier damaging it’s tail with it’s wing.I have a photo of it when it diverted to Manchester with slightly tattered wing feathers !

My first show was Woodford 1976,we went in a mates dads purple Hillman Imp.I still have the programme which i must dig out to see what was showing.

Acording to my many W&R it was a Comet 4 which ended up at warton for Nimrod 2000 development.

it departed Mildenhall at 18.15 this evening,bound for ?

al.

That solves the problem of wanting to see it then !

The Prague Technical Museum is also an awesome place with loads of aircraft hanging from the ceiling (not as many as Kbely) plus if you like cars,trains ect then it is worth a visit.Are you driving whilst you are there ? On the outskirts of Mlada Boleslav about 60km from Prague there is an IL-18 on the motorway which used to serve food….basically a motorway services with a difference but i think it has closed now which is a pity as we used to have a brilliant meal while sitting in airliner seating !
