Radlett, UK 1948/9?
Hi,
Does anyone know of any film featuring the SBAC show at Radlett, UK in 1947 or 1948? There seems to be plenty of film of the SBAC at Farnborough from 1949 onwards, but I'm researching a Blackburn aircraft which only flew on display at Radlett. TIA Richard

I was lucky enough to have sight of some surviving works drawings many years ago but I'd really like to see film of the beast flying and if possible spreading her wings. Richard

Richard Can't help with the film but the attached might be of interest. One is from "Fly Navy" by Ray Williams and the two smaller are from "The British Fighter Since 1912" by Peter Lewis (Putnam) Regards Pat Macguire

One is from "Fly Navy" by Ray Williams and the two smaller are from "The British Fighter Since 1912" by Peter Lewis (Putnam) Hey, thanks! I have both those books, the Putnam one is pretty good since it covers just about every aircraft you could wish! Digging out details of an obscure aircraft is challenging though, especially as the second B-48 Firecrest was modified with a different wing dihedral and both were broken up very early on. I live about a mile away from Filton near Bristol where the Brabazon was built and flown. There's many more available records about that, as well as the long, long runway..... Richard
