Re: Wednesday 5th March
Thanks for useful info- I think possibly a wee typo though
08-3170 perhaps 08-3179 as showing on ADSB as RCH872 inbound- also production batch is 08-3172 to 08-3179

Can't check again today but will confirm if they are still there tomorrow.

The unmarked C130s on apron F are 08-3170 and 08-3175. Both have the details stencilled by the flight deck windows on the left hand side only.

Re: France 2024 Standing With Giants at the British Normandy Memorial
Thanks for posting these images Phil.
I have a son and daughter in their 20's and have explained to them why an old cold warrior like me gets choked up at the thought of all that death, horror and heroism. I think they get it but l worry about all those who don't.

Re: Wanted - Air Scotland Journals 1971 to 1976
I'm afraid I can't help with Air Scotland but l wondered if you already have (or know of, Scottish Air News, SCAN).
The group is still going today and can supply all of their magazine back issues on CD ROM. You can buy a yer at a time on one disc or the full set for £60.
Hope this helps.

I am reliably informed that the BBMF Spitfire and Harvard will be using Glasgow as a base for the show. Can't see why they should but that's what I have been told.

Re: Udvar-Hazy (Smithsonian) - up to '45
Excellent images Iain. I was fortunate enough to visit the UHC in 2018 and the Do Uhu was on display but not assembled, otherwise it looks not much different. For anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of the 'special relationship' l cannot recommend too highly the book 'Watsons Whizzers'. ...

Re: Once upon a time in the west, lot-2 9/91 Gordon
Hi Gordon Thanks for sharing these images. The X4 46676 is the standout one for me. Not sure where it is now but the only other one 46677 is in the museum at Wright Patterson and it is on my bucket list of aircraft to see before l die. You have been very lucky in life to have seen these historic air...

Maybe I'm weird but those two Skyvans in the background of the last shot are interesting. Where do they normally live?
