Plane Tales

My logbook tales continue and after 5 months without an income the bucket of shekels I had to keep us afloat was starting to run dry... I could see glimpses of the bottom. Luckily the mortgage on our modest 2 up, 2 down, 250 year old, Scottish stone, terraced cottage at Leuchars wasn’t excessive and we had pared our living expenses down to the bone.  The sniff of some flying work for British Aerospace down at their factory at Warton, however, was very, very welcome.   RAF Warton during construction in 1938   The TSR2 and Panavia Tornado, both built at Warton   The Eurofighter Typhoon, soon to begin construction at Warton   The F3 Tornado in weather   The BAe Hawk   The Joint Tactical Information Display System   An F3 Tornado with a towed decoy   A Monarch Airways Airbus A300   Images shown under a Creative Commons licence with thanks to the RAF, the MOD, British Aerospace, British Aircraft Corporation, the USAF, the USN,  DoD and Monarch Airways.
