Sandringham
Great to see a photo of VP-LVE at Solent Sky, I must visit soon as I flew in her when she was in Ireland in 1976/77. On the return flight from Glengariff to Killaloe I was lucky enough to get the jump seat. Flying was the legendary Capt Charles Blair with F/O Ron Gilles. In the other jump seat was Capt J.C. Kelly Rogers, who had commanded the Boeing 317 that had returned Churchill from the Bermuda conference to England in 1944.
On another occasion I had the chance to observe her take-off from the Islands from my own cockpit, and subsequently flew in loose formation with her for a few miles.
