Remarks |
|
|
This Hawker Hind was delivered new to the Royal Afghan Air Force in 1938 and continued in use until the 1950s. It was presented to the Shuttleworth Collection and was collected with the help of the Ford Motor Company in 1970. The journey of 6000 miles from Kabul to Old Warden took four weeks and the team had to endure many trials before the Hind was safely in the restoration hangar. The Hind was restored, and flew again on 17 August 1981, resplendent in Afghan Air Force Markings. The Hind was repainted in 1985 to represent K5414 of 15 Squadron, Royal Air Force.

Remarks |

Percival E.2H Mew Gull G-AEXF (c/n E.22) flown solo by Alex Henshaw from Gravesend to Capetown and return via the Sahara, in a record-breaking, and still unbeaten, elapsed time of 4 days 10 hours 20 minutes-time airborne 39hr 36 min-the longest-standing long distance flying record of all time. Having flown the 1936-built aircraft since May 1937, and winning the King’s Cup Air Race at Hatfield in July 1938 (speed 236.25mph), he sold the aircraft to a French owner in July 1939.
There is an excellent replica of this aircraft in the RAF Museum, Hendon.

Curiosa perspectiva la que ofrece este Lysander evolucionando en el Flying Legends. Parece tener el ala izquierda mucho más larga que la derecha. La realidad es que este avión tiene una envergadura considerable, como se puede apreciar en el ala izquierda. La derecha, por el diedro y por la perspectiva de la foto, parece ser más pequeña. Por descontado las dos son iguales.

Vista a tres cuartos por detras del Lysander con muchas nubes y poco sol. Algo interesante debe venir por la izquierda, a juzgar por la actitud de los spotters.

Remarks |
|
Quedan pocos Hurricane en vuelo, pero ninguno como este. Es una variante naval para portaviones, con gancho de apontaje.
Construido en 1940, estuvo "en el suelo" entre 1943 y 1995, lo que demuestra que cualquier aparato puede ser restaurado con dinero y dedicación.
Aconsejo la pagina del propietario, una colección impresionante y realmente atípica por la rareza de muchos de los aparatos que posee:
