MB had these for sale at RIAT but I missed out. Did anyone get one they would now like to sell? Thanks

Its on external display unfortunately well within the site which is a pretty massive complex. You can clearly see it on the latest versions of Google Earth.

Hi all - I’m in the middle of a long term modelling project of Bedford’s needle nosed Gnat XP505 and I’ve been trying to find photographs or illustrations of the aircrafts seatless rear cockpit ideally when it was still in use as a test aircraft. The aircraft is today owned by the Science Museum and...

Mildenhall - it was fuel not smoke. We were under the approach and I thought it unusual as he turned in to see smoke. As he shot across us however we were enveloped in swirling kerosene and it continued pouring out on his run out.

Absolutely superb - love no 3

Loved Owl End. Once went down there on the 4 July and wondered why it was so quiet. I was quite young (and a bit thick!). Ended up cycling over to Wyton where it was business as usual.

Happy days remember it well. The good old days when we had shed load of interesting aircraft and airfields.

Always had a second body loaded with B&W just in case. Used to bang them into Aviation News. Think they paid about £2.00 a shot - hardly worth it really.

Loved Honington especially the Buccs but they didn't like you hanging around the fence. The number of times we were moved on - miserable buggers!

Blimey that brings back memories. I think that Coningsby Open Day was the only time I (remember) seeing a Hastings fly - lovely!

Me too. Low level in the Lakes is going to very quiet when these go - sad day

Found a couple now thanks

Trying to find a couple of these Autogyro kits if anyone has anything to sell

Thanks in advance

Pete

Always loved Honington and you can’t go wrong with Hunters & Buccaneers!

One last thought - S&M Decals did a 1/72 Lightning decal sheet that featured XS901/G complete with zap. The product code is SSM72004.

Hi 'Lightning Force' by Fred Martin has a starboard side picture of F.6 XS901/G wearing the WS10 zap and the day glo panel at the top of the tail. No pilots name on this side of the aircraft. 'EE Lightning' by Martin Derry and Neil Robinson has a port side picture of F.3 XP701/O also wearing the zap...

Remember it well mainly because I didn't manage to get on board!
