Some shots of Gloster's Factory at Brockworth - As rendered by Toby Vickers
still a ways to go but its looking good
1/. Of course the Gamecock predated the concrete runway by about 5 years
but the Belfast Hangars were there
2/. Throught the Wires - looking towards Gloucester - Barnwood in the foreground
3/. Chosen Hill and Moreton Valence off in the distance - Moreton Valence is the other half of the scenery
4/. Looking down on the original Belfast Hangars - and the distinctive "tuning fork" taxiways at the end of the runway - Javlins could only take off from the factory not land - they ferried to Moreton Valence for finishing and delivery.
5/. This shot is based on an oil painting done of the Gamecock in the mid 30s
6/. Finally the Gamecock is sooo aerobatic I couldnt resist
enjoy
