And is that the Reid & Sigrist Desford on the right? More like the RS4 Bobsleigh but they're not types I know much about, unlike the Hastings which I did have the doubtful privilege of flying in far too often for comfort, hence my instant recognition of it. Ri©ardo Yes, you're right. It was laziness on my part, just thinking of it as the Desford.. It was the same airframe, though, converted to test prone pilot operation. Now in the Snibston Discovery Park at Coalville in Leicestershire, but not on public display at the moment. My only encounter with the Hastings was seeing several at RAF Colerne in the 60s with tails partly removed because of a fatigue problem. Only three left in the UK now, at Cosford, Duxford and Colerne. -- Peter |
