Well, atb1943, your post about Stapleford 23 May 1964 (I was one day short of my first birthday) made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, since my grandfather had, by that point, owned two of those planes.

He had AIDE in the late 50s, winning the Goodyear trophy in it, and AJYZ which he bought new from Woodley after Handley-Page bought the bits left over from the Miles liquidation. Somewhere recently I saw the original invoice for the plane: I am hoping my mother has not thrown it out with a lot of rubbish!

Anyway, here are a few pix.









Pix are from A J Jackson's amazing photo library

If anyone knows any more history of these planes, I'd be very interested to know.
