Some very nice photos there Steve and some of them reminded me of my dad, who used to work on the engines on the Hunter and Javelin (amongst others) when he was in the RAF in the '50s.
Thanks for sharing them!!

I love the cold war jet era, still cant believe the amount of nukes in uk during this time, the pic of the bloodhounds really shows how serious the threat was back then Steve

Brilliant pictures all of them, sheer joy to see them...The bloodhound missile was among my first plastic modeling kits way back then as were each and every one of the aircraft shown here... Thanks for the memory jolt!! Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas. Completed Builds: Del Prado: HMAS Bounty: Hachette: RMS Titanic: Del Prado: Cutty Sark...
