I have no idea what it was for (being a "rigger") but the port lower intake on "Winston" had an evil bacon slicer at a 45 degree angle which wasn't so obvious when crawling underneath - and hurt just as much as the IFF

She's coming along rather nicely Graham - you deserve a pat on the back for the progress being made! I can vouch for the smugness at seeing the cockpit light up for the first time in years as it has done - did the same of Hunter XF382 many years ago. Little steps that lead to a much bigger and bolde...

G-VROE is based at Sleap and was flying on Monday over that area.

Sounds even more dodgy when you check Companies House and find that the sole administrator of them uses a hotel address in London as the registered address??? https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/12616134/officers The hotel in question - Manor House Hotel, 205-207 Hainault Road. https://www.ma...

Funnily enough, KEPLER AEROSPACE (UK) LTD is registered with companies house, with a tangible link to GJD if you check the details within. An interesting one given the transfer of ownership according to the above mentioned news link by UK Aviation News. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/122...

Take for example the Sea Vixen; now I recall about 10 or less years ago seeing one engine being run up. Sadly I think that’s as far as things got for one reason or another and it is just one of the many disappointments that we probably won’t ever see it fast taxy Well it certainly has moved under i...

EE549 has actually appeared on Horseguards Parade several times, but the original colour photo you referred to was taken in 1968 Iain. And judging by another shot from the same year - that can be further pinned down to 29/08/1968: https://abpic.co.uk/pictures/view/1237243 And for RAF100 in 2018, it ...

Scan 4 copy - that's Shobdon

Untitled -105-1 - that's Caernarfon

I recognised both right away, but still pondering the other UK ones

Always interesting to see things like this. I use Google Earth for the same reason, as being able to shrink time and see how airfields change is something quite fascinating....

Coming along nicely there Graham! I wish I had the patience to do models still, as I love attenion to details - and this one is showing all the signs of being rather good when we get to see the finished article! I do like Meteors

And wake turbulence would have been quite an issue as well

Sadly it may have just been a bit or artistic licence on the part of the artwork producer, as no Meteor is listed as a participant for that show Graham

I'm finding it hard to comprehend that this is a 1/72 kit to be fair. The attention to detail is stunning! Well done!

Jacking up the Navy Bucc simulates the take-off attitude when being catapult launched.. Impressive that it was replicated for this photoshoot!

Sadly it seems to be true - just been sent a photo of a seizure notice affixed to one at Glasgow, with an update saying also it's happening at Manchester as well.

Glad to hear it Rich - having caught up on the previous few posts on here.

Looking forward to hearing those Griffons growl in earnest in April!

Wow Rich, that's quite a comprehensive update indeed! Although I've been keeping an eye on what's happened on facebook etc, it's good to read the overall progress in one hit too... It was certainly an interesting turn around for 963 and your team in 2019, and it was certainly an emotional return for...

Bloodhound LSR does (or ultimately will) have three engines!
Almost overlooked is the Jaguar V8 onboard which is both an auxilary power unit and will be the oxidiser motor for the hybrid rocket....

Certainly brings it home how the Royal Air Force I joined in 78 has shrunk so much.... I see most of my military history in Museums these days - that hits home when I'm constantly saying "worked on that / flew in that" etc... I can look back with nostalgic eyes, and some great memories of...

Excellent shots Cole
It was a thoroughly enjoyable event indeed - despite the punishing schedule for us marshallers

Quite possibly these were the five aircraft from Lyneham Flying Club (based at Cotswold Airport) and PA28 types, flying the RAF100 baton from Cotswold Airport to St Athan this morning.

Dan - the Midlands had several visits by the Graf Zeppelin, having been hit mistakenly during 1916. After the war (exact date not known by me), this image was captured over West Bromwich, which must have made a startling view for the locals! https://farm1.staticflickr.com/817/39272152760_4f2c16c07b_...

Wow, clear photos for sure!
So its a Hartzell prop, and now a thorough search of the applications is needed. The following document from Hartzell may help then:

Or green AND black & white striped blades?

And if that's blue under the green paint.... it looks even more like one of them:

Scroll down the link as I can't seem to directly link the photo.
