That's a nice catch. Well done.

Pete.

Lovely pictures, sunshine makes such a difference after all the grey low cloud this year.
And what a grand varied collection of British designs.

What do we build now ?

Pete.

Some nice shots there Nick.
Some interesting Biz-jets.
Cheers

Interesting. I rather like seeing the Cessna tail-draggers.

That's interesting to see the old Bristow colours.

The Shorts commuter / utility SC7 Skyvan, SD3-30 and SD3-60. Show us your flying ‘sheds’. For those who cannot get enough there is more in an album on FlikR.

The white buildings in the background, and hills are Shoreham.
I think the date on photo is wrong (1981) and should also be 1980.
G-BHUB was delivered through Duxford in August 1980 and was fairly quickly painted G-AGIV Ruskin Air Service for the TV series.

Cor! That is going back.
Thanks for the posts that you do.

Pictures taken in 1989, at Weston International Helicopter Museum, Somerset. (It opened on present site in 1988). It’s origin goes back to 1958 when Elfan ap Rees started a small collection.

For the reg collector, there was that excitement of seeing a rarer reg pref...
