Nice! I just put this on my "Places to Go" list.

Daveroo,

It's a Fairy Albacore. The less than successful replacement for the Swordfish.

Many thanks, Ian!

I've spent more happy hours at Yeovilton than at any other UK airport.

Are you planning to work some of your special magic for Yeovilton?

Many thanks, Ian!

I've spent more happy hours at Yeovilton than at any other UK airbase.

Are you thinking of working some of your special magic here?

The less than successful replacement for the Swordfish

less successful maybe, but crews appretiated being out of the weather, Albacore's came with heaters and ability to make hot drinks, there's a rather good SOH Donationware model by Baldy if you want to take to the skys in one.

Are you thinking of working some of your special magic here?

Already cover'd in the FAA pack Hooky and me work'd on a few years back.
cheers ian
