Jim, are you missing a plane from the collection?

That's a bit old for Jims collection, although I think it would just slot into the Cold War period, but I think the lack of jet turbine on it might go against it.

Maybe but then again maybe not.....I've a couple of Gannets and a Harvard in the collection

Went shopping today, as I got out the car on returning home VeRA flew past, but about a mile away, still a distinctive shape and sound. Lovely. Another day of giving flights from Humberside.

A short while later I was driving to Brigg, going past the airport she was on the ground again, with the Buchon (G-AWHE) (Spanish copy of a 109) was parked just behind her.

On my return journey both had engines running and the Buchon was waiting for a Jetstream to land and clear the runway before taxiing to the far end to take off. So I (having previously sussed out what I hoped would be a suitable location after the police had closed all local lay-bys) stopped and took a walk amongst the approach lights.

Didn't have to wait too long before -

(Not too bad for a smartphone camera)

This was followed by a Jetstream, which isn't much of a rarity here, Eastern Air run them up and down the coast to Aberdeen from here, but this one hung about - maybe it's just a pilot wanting to wait around for VeRA to get airborne.

Which she did -

Nice low take off, held about 250-300' for ages before climbing and the Jetstream tucking in behind, I suspect it's a photo chase plane.

I'm one happy bunny.

Great catch Tony....VeRA arrives at Tees Valley today so tomorrow should be a day to remember (weather permitting).

Looking at the model Gannets above made me wonder whether anyone can name the carrierborne type pictured here; I built it from a vacform kit years ago. I can't remember the name of the kit manufacturer now, only the aircraft. Anyone recognise it??

(clue: you wouldn't have wanted THIS anywhere near your sub if you were on the other side)

F4U Corsair

Nah! You think I'd make it that easy? It's a post-war type.

Post-war? You should have said....Grumman AF-2S Guardian

Eichhörnchen · 09-03-14, 01:39 PM

ha, ha! Yes, of course it is!

Herr-Berbunch · 09-03-14, 03:13 PM

Probably my last chance of seeing the two girls this weekend, I'm spoiled for choice - North Cotes, Cleethorpes, Kirmington (closest) plus a couple of other places. Fingers crossed for good weather, serviceable aircraft and a compliant family.
