Out of interest, what is the pale patch on the rear fuselage spine? I'm imagining abrasion from some kind or weighted tie-down to stop the aircraft flipping over in a sandstorm but I'm just guessing...

 

That was my guess as well, and a guess it must remain, since I was unable to find the photo DK used for their reference. My only other (wild) guess would be maybe a half-hearted attempt to keep the radio bay from getting too hot?

Stocky was a wonderful person, a true gentleman. 

 

 

I'm so glad to hear it! I admired him immensely for his achievements for many years, but I always felt very self-conscious about writing him a letter, and then of course it was too late.

She’s a beauty although the choice of base is messing with my mind nut.

 

Sorry Johnny, I was limited by the thematically appropriate bases I had to hand!
