Historic Queen's Flight Photographs

#1 Post by Ex-Ascot » Wed Jul 18, 2018 9:26 am

Sorry don't like starting new threads but couldn't find anywhere suitable to put these. Was routing through old files for a paper I never found but found these. I am pretty sure what they all are but not going to make an idiot of myself and haven't time to check. Just thought folk may find them interesting. The small twin (Basset?) was to train HRH PC, didn't work! The three Kings is a rare photo (signed) of them together in Royal Air Force uniform, Note the old Andover livery. Silver belly. They had to paint it because all the polishing was wearing the rivets down.

Yep have it here and the pully (for casual use only not the flight deck of course).
