Britman Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I would like to share with you some of my late fathers photos. He was an aircraft finisher in the RAF from 1946 to 1954 and I think these may be of interest to aviation nuts like myself. This will take a while but should have something of interest for most. 1- Hastings 47 sqdn 2- Halifax 9 October 48. Broken up with two others shortly after this picture was taken. 3-Dakota 4- Viking Kings Flight VL247 5-6 York 7- Dakota Hope you like something here. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bentwaters81tfw Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I remember seeing Haystacks at Dishforth when my parents took me back to the Lakes on holiday. One reason I jumped on the resin kit last year. One of those enduring memories, parked right up against the A1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viscount806x Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ahhh Dishforth! My first flight ever in a DH Rapide at the airshow in 1957. First air cadet flight in a Chipmunk there in 1964 with Harrogate GS CCF. Earlier memories of Beverleys trundling over Harrogate from the OCU at Dishforth. Nice memories there Britman, thanks for sharing. Nige B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one caught my eye - appears to be a camouflaged Dakota in post war markings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 RAF Dishforth... sounds like the location for a Goons skit. Apparently not, however. Nice collection! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds. Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Oh the good ole days, very nice indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Yes, lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing them. There's no flying from Dishforth nowadays, (That I know about) and some Army chaps are still there. The place is looking a bit tatty around the edges though. There is a small brewery around the back where we go to pick up the odd barrel or two occasionally. (One of their beers is called Comfortably Numb!)
