It gets all lit up for Christmas, the original WB188 spent sometime as a gate guardian at RAF Melksham.

Is it that long? Doesn't time fly!! Shows how much attention I pay when having my MOTs done.

Going backwards, before that was a two-seater Hunter, a Routemaster bus, a RAF Rescue Whirlwind and a Navy Whirlwind.

Also a "Flying Flea" lurked inside for a while quite some years back.
Cheers, Bob

Shows how thick I am and how few brain cells I still have left working :whistle:

I always assumed a 'GA11' was a 2-seater :Oops:

I'll get me coat :blush:

Thanks for posting :thumbs:
