Well, I have to agree. I re did it tonight and yes, I have a lot of hits as
well. Maybe someone turned the internet off last night ;-) I dunno, I'm at a loss. Gonna bury my head in the sand now :-) "Ramsman" wrote in message ...

It was part of the Shuttleworth Collection, but according to the G-INFO database it's now in the USA. -- Peter Thanks for that useful bit of information Peter. Can't help but feel if I knew what the registration was, I'd have done that. But alas, all I could see was D-2692 and that returned no results. Nor did the Shuttleworth collection website have it listed. I'll go direct to you in future to get the information I don't have ;-) That's odd, because Google.uk comes up with lots of hits, starting with Airliners.net and Air Britain. Perhaps the Antipodean version works in the opposite direction? Anyway, here are some photos of her at Old Warden on 5 August 2007. The picture you posted looks like it was taken there too. Did anyone spot the deliberate mistake? Absolute Tripe. That's what comes of doing things in a hurry and not checking filenames and images properly. Try these instead. -- Peter |

Date:22/04/2010 Previous ID:OO-JKT Statuse-registered To:UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Reason:Transferred to another country or authority I notice that both you and I visited The Shuttleworth Collection in 2008 - 19 June in my case. Bearing in mind your comments I put "Aircraft D-2692" into the search facility and one of many hits was this: http://www.airplane-pictures.net/image61593.html -- Moving things in still pictures |
