On PPrune, someone's posted a piccy of 558 on the way back from Volkel, flying over Xm655, long time since anyone's seen that....

Marvellous Robert, thanks.

Am much looking forward to RIAT display !

If you can, obtain a copy of ''Vulcan 607'', by Rowland White, it's a great description of the first & subsequent Black buck missions.

Wychwood brewery's ''Hobgoblin''. Nice.

Was that subtley presented as an RAF chap struggling to be being deck qualified by RN/FAA maybe

Some cool film (prob from a '70's series that I think was ''sailor'' or summat, loong time since I saw it), anyhoo, some nice doc type stuff of F4's & Bucc's , enjoy

Now this Photo-0139.jpg Lancaster (model on the cupboard), Stirling (painting leaning to the cupboard) :mrgreen: Edit: That model might be a Stirling as well (the Lanc had a triple rudder, right?) The model is a Stirling. The Lanc had a double/''H'' tail configuration, it's predecessor, the Manches...

More to the point, is Robert going to put me out of my misery regarding the unidentified a/c pics ?

Seeing as no-one has answered
