46+36 of the Immelmann geschwader, although in a more Richthofen colour scheme.

Also great to see that as of today, the Solway air museum is almost 1/3 to gaining the fund they need to save the last remaining Blackburn Beverley

If you can find the good bit of the jetstream, it can give you a fair boost for no cost.

That's 832mph, in real miles.

It's equivalent to a tiny bit over Mach 1 (if it was in still air), in terms of the ground speed, which is what counts in airline terms.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have any really good colour photo's of the Gloster Javelin FAW.2 that was RAF Staffords gate guardian up until 1994 please?

I'm planning a build in 1/48 scale of it, but I'm a bit unsure on the engine nozzle section as the kit is for a FAW.9 and is totally different to a FAW.2.

Cheers

Is that the one I could see from my bedroom/side window in Bertlin Rd in the 70's???

Yes.

 

[tek-monkey]

Yes.

And you know the view from her bedroom window how exactly?

Cos he knows where Bertlin Rd is... I think the plane was moved at some point to a little further away.

Can't be too careful...

And the Javelin was scrapped.

 

[Entropy]

It was indeed scrapped. Apparently was left to rot and effectively rusted away until it was demolished in 1994.

 

[Gramaisc]

I came across this recently.

This is just after my old house was removed, presumably to reduce the number of people wanting to visit it.

It was at the far end of the D-shaped road above the middle of the plane.

Hawker Drive? Funnily enough they didn't let street view down there!

Patch Crescent. Demolished and the roads reorganised.
