Cillit Bang & Barry Scott

However annoying Barry Scott may be, does anyone have any idea about the aircraft he is currently sitting in.

The adverts only show close-up views of it.


Rounder intake than a Jag

What is it?????

I think it's a Soko J-22 Orao - a Romanian/Yugoslav collaboration which has more than a passing resemblance to the Jaguar.

I understand it's a mocked-up L39 from one of the Bond films.

A local boy of about 5 years old went missing in our village and a full blown search including a helicopter was initiated.

After a while he was found in the garden hiding under a bush having become frightened by the commotion.

Police Sergeant "What have you to say for yourself young man?"

Little boy thinks for a while then says "We've got Cillit Bang"

Cue laughter

I don't think anything is. I know the jet I took to the RAF 75th Review had just come out of the paint shop, and I was ordered to do aerobrake landings.

We erm washed a Puma one evening for an airshow it was going to the next day and found we had no cleaning fluid in stock, several tins of swarfega later we were standing looking at a snot green covered Puma which we agitated with brushes then hosed off....

It came up great but we kept it quiet, though the thing stank of the stuff

The 56 one in the foreground!
I was picked to meet the Queen, me.
Any chance of best quality copies?
(I don't have any).

Thanks, I'll try those.
ZH556 was a shiny new jet. I collected it new from Warton on Jan 27th that year.
I remember that many of the workers came out to see it leave, and I was expected to depart impressively. I remember I had to clear the departure with Manchester Control because it was their airspace over Warton, so I asked for one circuit and a climb to FL330. Ground came back on taxi with "Manchester request your outbound heading" I just replied "Vertical", and got it!

Downside was that climb toppled the INs, so the next 20 minutes was head-down instruments. You can't get the staff, you really can't.

Still, they must have liked it - I was back next day to collect ZH557.

this is a good example of thread drift! 'that' advert is incredibly irritating.

Terrible day for photos

Not sure what went wrong. I was at the 75th do at Marham. I suspect these pics were taken in the build up. Had lunch in a hangar. probably the same hangar I had worked on Victors in. The only photo I have is a distant shot of a 146. they were pretty new in those days.

So what about this Cilit bang stuff- does it do what it says on the tin?

One of my old bosses was a crew cheif on Lord Louis Hastings in the Far East. he told me they had to polish it by hand. so much so that the heads of the rivets were worn away and had to be replaced on a regular basis.

I wonder if we should go back to those days to create jobs for airman. I think the pilots should polish their own jets. particularly the transport guys. that would shut them up from moaning on here about everything!

A friend of mine used to go out with the actor who plays Barry Scott.

We called her Mrs Cillit Bang.
