willedoo Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Underneath the radar (Elvis Costello). Interesting camo. The digital camo seems to be getting popular these days.
Phil Perry Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Careful Phil... some people may get a little cross... it could be a thorny issue, they get hung up on these sorts of things...
Phil Perry Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Sorry Sarge. . . I parked it while the tide was out. . . . Saunders-Roe SR.A/1 - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... TG263 on the water. Role, Flying boat fighter. Manufacturer, Saunders-Roe. First flight, 16 July 1947. Retired, 1951. Status, Experimental. Primary user, Marine Aircraft Experimental Establishment. Number built, 3. The Saunders-Roe SR./A.1 I saw one of these, Gate Guardian outside an RAF base in the late 1960s, can't remember which one though. . . ****EDIT ****** Just been told it was Duxford. . . .
Phil Perry Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Struth,. . .just found another vid, this time of the Saunders Roe jobbie . . .
old man emu Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I wonder how many landings they get before they have to repaint the keel.
Birdseye Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I saw one of these, Gate Guardian outside an RAF base in the late 1960s, can't remember which one though. . .****EDIT ****** Just been told it was Duxford. . . . Is your source sure about that? I don't recall ever seeing it there in the late 60s, and with no connection at all with Duxford, it doesn't make sense that they would have trucked it all the way from the south coast.
Yenn Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 That Saunders Roe flying boat was probably the one I saw being built in a big shed on the waters edge in Cowes I.O.W in1946 or 47. It looked massive to a young lad like me.

It looked massive to a young lad like me. I'd guess that was the Saunders-Roe Princess passenger flying boat you saw. Just a little too late and cancelled by BOAC, unlike the TSR2 which was premature and cancelled by a communistic government. Saunders-Roe Princess - Wikipedia

I'll recheck Birdy. . . I dunno. . . these people and their #FakeFacts. . . I didn't argue with the guy who said this as I remember seeing it ( Or something darned similar. . .) but not where. . . .

pmccarthy Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I remember that bloke. A pint on his head and two pipes down to his mouth. Saw him on Doctor Who.

I've got a clever hat somewhere, it carries a tinnie of VB on each side and has a plastic gob tube from each one . . . very handy if you need a drink whilst requiring the use of both hands. . . Wine bottles won't quite fit though. . . . working on it. . .
Phil Perry Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 And the controller finally loses it... "Look son... I AIN'T your daddy!" Oddly enough Marty,. . . a controller said to me one day. ."You can reduce that to 2P if you like. . " I replied, " D'you mean the Callsign,. . .or the Landing Fee. . .?
Phil Perry Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 With all that history, it almost qualifies for the London to Brighton.Do you have any idea when it was built?Rgds.Planey All UK regn can be looked up online at g-infohttps://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?catid=60&pagetype=65&appid=1&mode=search At the moment there are 10 MW6 in permit and 4 that have been converted to single seater redregulated. The rest are out of permit or still being built. Mark:G-MZOK is the one in the pic and original regn date was 1998 and current Reg. Date: 11/06/2004. Its in permit till 2016 so is still a two seater Just a ccorrection there Kasper, . .G-MZOK is actually 'Daughter', the one built by Kim WIlcox. I can't remember the reg of 'Mother' offhand, but I'll have a look on the weekend . . .if I remember ! ( Alzheimers R us ) The colouring is similar, but MZOK has side fairings on the cockpit. . .
