CB,

I think those maps would be excellent material for a scenery man who wanted to re-generate Stradishall. Thanks for posting them :smile:

Chris,

I would bow to your superior recognition (Airliners were never my strong point)...However, there are lots of experts here and I'm sure that someone will jump in :lol:

Its for sure a C4 - - trying to place the year Peter - must be 58/59
if HKNA had just opened - so Im not sure if thats a BOAC Argonaut or a
Aden Airways one


As usual Peter you have out done yourself - AND brought back happy memories of the PanAfric Hotel and the Mara for me almost 20 years
later


Cheers

Leif

Brilliant photos as always Peter, the reflection of the paintwork certainly shows the Hunters to be just run in!!

Now just hope that you will start a new series in the not too distant future.

Regards Nigel.
