Have we taken this off topic enough yet? ;)
Garry,

My last job in the RAF was Lightning Simulator Instructor on the Mark II at Leconfield...I had to go up to Middleton St. George to do the groundschool course and I got a couple of flight in the two seater T4...Here is the course photo:-

Apologies for going off topic...We seem to be a long way from the Anson 19 now :lol:

Hi Peter

Thread creep is one of the ways we get really good info on subjects that may never have come up in an other way :OT: Rules :worried:

To be PC we'll call it subject expansion :lol:

Thanks for your input :thumbsup:

Seems to have sparked a wide discussion. Anyway I will live in hope for a late model Anson at some stage.

Keep watching.you never know and since DG's has been years on hold you could say that's a late model 8) :hide:

But seriously..if one does ever show up, it would soon get mentioned on this site so fingers crossed ;)

Thanks Peter. What a great photo. Your life seems to have been what I dreamed of as a kid. Vampires, Venoms, Hunters and Lightnings! And then another career with Viscounts and Tridents! A veritable Boys Own adventure in your own lifetime. It's a priviledge just to be able to post all this stuff with you. Thanks again.
