Thank you Jonners - been after that for a while- £26 through Amazon. Will check out the Miles and Bristol books before committing. Will advise as to what condition it arrives in. Dennis

Lysanders could carry a Lewis or Vickers K in the rear cockpit. I also vaguely recall seeing a photo of a twin mounted set up in the same location - but find it in the files - can I hell as like !! Cheers Dennis

Nice one Duncan - your build has just persuaded me to purchase a couple. In fact looking again - Very nice indeed (saved the pics for reference) Dennis.

Isn't that what modelling is all about ? Dennis (Still filing, sanding and cursing since the original Airfix Spitfire)

RAF Museum Duncan ?, If not they may even give you the recipe for mixing using currently available model paints. HTH Dennis

Not sure about the RAF T-birds but the RSAF T.55's certainly did. I've a nice air-to-air shot of one, 55-711, so non-equipped, out of Dhahran but as my photo hosting thingy is just a blank black screen, I cannot post at the moment. HTH Dennis

Hi Duncan, thanks, am keeping well. Just had a major rummage through my Javelin shots and am afraid I have none of 29 at Leuchars in fact I am a bit short of any Javelin up here much to my surprise. Best regards Dennis

Selwyn is correct, there was a trough between the tail pipes although it was quite subtle and rarely shows up clearly in photographs. This is the best I can do. The aftermarket pipes are quite accurate in my opinion for what it's worth :- HTH Dennis (ex-64 and 29)

Have been looking through my own Javelin photos and the triangle also appears on a few T.3's, quite clearly on 60Sqdn's XH390/O although partly obscured by the port belly tank. DR

Anyone any idea as to what the black triangle was for under the port intake ?. I asked years ago whilst on det to 29 in Cyprus and no one there knew. Thought it about time I found out. HTH Dennis

As here - None on the nose cone DR

Only on the single seaters Nick, the F95 was mounted under the rear cockpit on the T-Birds Dennis
