Graeme:

How'd you find that aerodrome Reg?
I have a GiggleEarth overlay that puts a pin on every airfield that has an IATA code. Don't tell it to them.

But I got the aerodrome all wrong

I have to go
Did he go without calling the challenge to Tacklebury?

BTW, don't let Tacklebury to fool you, he can post, have seen it on other threads...

Well it's not a silhouette Reg. I was going to put it in "What Cockpit?" but again, I thought better of it...

From memory (I scanned it ages ago) the guy on the far left is Mr Sikorsky who one day decided the Board members should go for a ride and check out one of their products.

Was looking at flying cranes, but so far did not find a matching gear. My search was hampered by the notion of a person in a three-piece suit and a tie, bringing my thoughts to British test pilots of the time…..

Maybe Sikorsky S-64?

flying cranes
It is a flying crane...Sikorsky. They 'simply' improvised the seating frame under the fuselage.

Maybe Sikorsky S-64?
Your control Reg!

Sure. You were gone and I posted a photo, everyone seemed to be out of silhouettes.
