So you'll probably remember Jock Harvey then ?

Also of course at that time Dunsfold had its' own little museum, TomTit, Hind, Last of the Many Hurricane etc, which were available to see on Field Days.

My father, a fitter then chargehand on Hunters then Hawks & Harriers - ending as trials chargehand on Harrier II's - remembers plenty of trips in the Rapide.

I somehow doubt the property developers who currently own Dunsfold, ( how much longer now their planning has been rejected ? ) whose leader did avow to ' have an example of every aircraft flown from there ' would get anywhere near that, even if he was sincere and the financial downturn hadn't happened - on the bright side, it's people like him scuppered !

I hope G-ASMG keeps in her element for a long time yet - I suppose eventually a museum beckons, unless a great deal of work is carried out.

All the best, DZ
