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.
Where is this per chance?

Talk elsewhere of the 'Gloster' spelling made me think of the venerable Meteor.
This is one of two that are still in commercial use, for testing ejection seats.
Presumably, there is some sort of organised spares operation still going on - I wonder if any of the bits available are still to the original design from 80 years ago.

Shackletons were strange things, flying into the 90s in the end. Essentially descendants of the Lancaster, via the Lincoln.
One in Malta was written off due to a rat infestation.
They did make a nice noise, though, and, oddly, got better looking as the modifications happened.
For some operational reason, we landed at Nicosia in August 1968 and I will always remember the blast of heat that surged into the plane as the doors opened, making you wonder if the remaining fuel had gone up...

The chap who ejected from the F-35 near Albuquerque a few days ago was, apparently, the 7722nd person to use a Martin-Baker ejection seat in 'real life', rather than in a testing scenario.Talk elsewhere of the 'Gloster' spelling made me think of the venerable Meteor.
