RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted August 27, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 27, 2023 Perhaps he’s hanging by his parachute. It’s going to be a very long time indeed until someone gets him down, but the photo was worth it ! 3 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all a little hush, hush, you know Mum's the word, but I have it on good authority that these shots were not taken by the squadron leader, but instead he loaned his Leica to a Mr J Bond esq. who took these from something he called a prototype for "Little Nellie"? But, as I say, this is all on the QT... Kevin 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KNP Posted August 30, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2023 Now the Squadron leader is back with a fly over of the LM goods yard and harbour. Seems so peaceful, not a loco in sight but plenty of wagons... Crane's back again or to be more exact found it hiding in a cup'd and thought....you know what, time to be seen again! 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Boy Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 If the squadron leader goes much higher he's going to need some oxygen. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's still got a bit of a way to go before he should worry about the lack of oxygen! 15,000ft was a practical altitude for pilots in WW1 although there are a lots of records of some reaching 20,000ft, and even hgher, without oxygen equipment, but only for short periods of time! Although the lack of oxygen is a problem, at those sort of heights the cold is a serious issue, especially considering the slipstream from the prop at over 100mph!

Despite the only slightly deserved reputation for being an awkward build (It isn't, it's just that the instructions are not the best...) it will be a light relief from coaches. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted August 31, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2023 Following on from our last picture the weather seemed to change very quickly. The Squadron Leader made a second pass over the area only for the weather to change for the worse, bit like its meant to do today!!! Thought I would do all three I was messing about with. 31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way back when I remember it used to take a fortnight to get photos developed and even then sometimes they weren’t back even then. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
