... I want to be just like you!" :lol:

No idea when or where this was taken but I couldn't resist it! The ideal picture for a caption contest maybe?

Thats great Pete

Is it my imagination or did the 707 and the Javelin share a common nosewheel assembly???
and is that a Gnome powered Whirlwind under Dads NG?

My caption would be - "Dad , can I have the keys to the car ? I have a date with a Swift tonight."


And Garrys right there is a sort of juvenile grin to the 707s face

Alex..

The Cosford 707C is WZ744 and the one in the shot certainly looks like it. Have you got the reg logged Pete??

Didn't the 707's vary in the intake positions..one at least being above the fuse.

So that should tie it up :dunno:
