Some may recall that on page 38 an image cropped-up of the Led Zepplin guitarist Jimmy Page being dropped-off at Knebworth House in August 1979 for a rock concert.

With the much appreciated assistance of Nostalgia Thread supporter Ahh de Havilland we were able to ascertain that the craft in question was in fact the [then] recently discussed Tommy Sopwith's G-GINA.

Now an accompanying photo has turned up of the post-landing and in which the pilot can be seen. Is this Tommy or someone else?


Tommy Sopwith's AS350B G-GINA (the first Ecureuil delivered in the UK) lands at Knebworth House in August 1979 to deliver Led Zeppelin front man Jimmy Page for a concert
