The Whales

I remember the Christmas Lunch carol singing after the "clashing rotors over the autofield" incident including as a verse to "Good King Wensleslas" being

"Fence building, ploughing 706, 706, oh Fence Building Ploughing 706"

i've got some Culdrose phot promo pics of the Whales somewhere (cabs, not the crews)

can't help thinking Phil Sheldon was in one of them, whatever, the late Hugh Clark got a major baz on!

definately 3 in the bump, the third got hit by debris from the other 2 which made holes in the T/R. I think 2 ended up in fields and one limped back.
