Memory Lane No. 2 - Skyraider arrival



"Hoof" Proudfoot brings TFC's machine into Duxford. "Hoof" thought it a great machine to go to war in, his quip, "Wall to wall, death!" He was of course alluding to the amount of armament it could carry.

Spotted at Duxford



Skyraider night stopping at Duxford on its way to the US. Picture by Martyn during a break from the assembly of the P-47G fin.

On run up this morning, Thursday, things did not sound good, cowlings now opened up and heads peering inside! More news later.

Thursday 1600 hrs., ground run just carried out, still not sounding good, just taxied back into its slot.

Thursday 1700 hrs., just moving up to ARCo possibly for rectification.
