Well done Wunper it is the right answer. You have control. Sorry 682al Wunper beat you by one minute.

Well that looks like one of the Tracey Brothers on the right, so I'll venture Thunderbird II Either that or a KC-97...

Miles Aerovan

Slightly OT but does anyone know of the fate of the Aerovan that resided in the old North Devon Flying Club hangar at Wrafton (West end of RAF Chivenor near the old railway station)? Beleive it was used (or intended) for air service to Lundy Island.

You must be talking 1950s/1960s? - I believe the Aerovan pranged on Lundy.

Edited: just been doing some googling - it was G-AJOG, but no accident is mentioned.

Sorry, don't have access to any suitable challenges at this time so anyone feel free to take my place. Anyone remember the excellent flightdeck pictures that once appeared in the inside back page of Flight Int. in the 1970s?
