RS709 or RS712 (not TA634 as it doesnt have the tail guard by the tailwheel)

I would guess RS709 just prior to flying to the USA to join the CAF. Benson?

Nice piccie by the way 🙂

Bruce

Well spotted, that’s narrowed it down to one of two!
Not Benson, not before flying to the USA! 🙂

Don’t have the Tomtit in colour as G-AFTA but here’s G-ABMR in colour at Old Warden in the 1970s.

and one of its younger siblings …

Anybody care to speculate which one this is, where I took it and when?

Do you happen to know if the Spitfire assembly hangars are still standing? Desford was No.8 Dispersal Factory and it was where the Leicester-built Spitfires were flown from.

Quite right. 🙂

I seem to recall seeing the Tomtit at Biggin Hill BoB in Sept 1957, being flown by Neville Duke. The Bristol Fighter was there too. I could barely afford B/W let alone colour.

Mark

B/W … we were so poor I could only afford a pencil & paper!

Yes – those of us that visited Old Warden regularly in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s will recall that G-AMRK was originally painted as “K8032”. I have a shot of the Tomtit as G-AFTA taken in October 1967 but unfortunately only in black & white so I can’t post it on this thread on two counts!

Growing up in Coventry in the 1950’s we didn’t have to dig – we played on the “bomb sites”. I do remember when the foundations for a new building were dug on one such site (in Craven Street) it exposed the cellars of the houses which had stood there. Another time I nearly s**t myself when we uncovered a dodgy-looking cylindrical metal object … until we realised it was an old vacuum cleaner!

Try holding down the CTRL key whilst clicking the link – that will sometimes get around the pop-up blocked problem 🙂

There was never an A-10 gate guard at Bentwaters……..or any other gate guard either 🙂
Regards.

Graham

Absolutely true … but I think there is one inside the base at Alconbury to this day … try Google Earth!

Dunno if it’ll be at Legends but here it is (was?) at Hatfield on 7 July 1973.
