Well I suppose that's all right then



Newark is on my 'must go museums' list too.

If I'd had £25,000 I would have bought 'Tango' (XS726) from Everett Aero and parked it on my drive to upset my neighbours (I did my first Dominie solo on Tango). At least the airframe has been preserved at Winthorpe.

Couldnt you have done a few more engines up?

Have you flown the Dominie that lives near me in Cosford too? I have a photo somewhere on my hard drive but don't know the serial.

Right then, Newark it is! Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

That's 'Mike' XS709 (the first Dominie delivered in 1965) - and yes I've flown that one.

Mike had the largest zero fuel weight on the fleet owing to fatigue repair, so if you were after a beer run to Bruggen or Ramstein, you didn't take him!

And whilst you drive through scampton you can see how derelict and run down it is as its all listed but no money being spent on the upkeep.

To be fair it has served its purpose

But surely a coat of black paint now and again wouldn't "break the bank"?
