Don't hang about do they
Hastings were around until 1977, certainly saw one flying at the Coningsby air show that year.
Also had the pleasure of ground running the one at Newark Air Museum a few years later.

Still around. Some images from last month at the following link. A Dominie was noted on the 14th December going low level in Wales.

We still have Dominies?? I thought they went out in the 80s.

I love it when the MoD proof read items on the interwebby thingy - it makes them look so professional.l
The two Turbomeca 16D turboprop engines for each aircraft will be removed and will not for part of the sale.

Is P for Pig still around? Many happy sorties in her
What remains of her (fuselage section) now resides at the Fire School at Manston.

Dominie Colours
Diablo Rouge
Don't think the (DH125) Dominie ever wore yellow training bands. We had one or two at Stradishall in early 1966 that were silver overall with orange Dayglo nose and tail.

I agree with all the above sentiments regarding the Dominie, but I doubt I am alone when I shudder, thinking about the relative hell of LLTS, trying to do my 6min, 5min etc ETA calculations, occasionally being 'tapped' on the head with a nav ruler, trying to find that damned last fix before the target in amongst that radar soup!
The 3ship end of course OTF however....

Horrible little aeroplane with only one bloody VOR at the front!
As for the 'organ-grinder' ADFs . . .

Blimey - doesn't look much like the aircraft I managed 850 hours in.
Mind you they were quite safe by then . . . Chris H had gone (ex VC10 captain who lost his scraper on the journey from BZZ to FY) - he used to scream 'I hate this f***ing aeroplane' and pounded the glareshield (I think it was to assist the vibrator in the altimeter).
I thought he was testing my CRM (before we called it that).
Mind you, it did allow us to sleep in our own beds at night and leave the suitcase in the loft.
Still got the little square cans for the engine oil?

Lose Merlin... Yeah right as if that will ever happen, only getting 12 Chinooks to replace 26 Merlins and with less Puma 2's coming, after a scathing SDSR... CHF will go!
