Dang, need to rewatch that one, haven't seen it in nearly 2 decades.

I saw the auction but sadly forgot to place a bid. Nice piece. 

The end of an era and beginning of a new one.

I don’t think he’s pointing…he’s adding a mark. You can see a blade in his hand

Just picked this up. 

Thank you very much for your message RayRay.   

Came across this film whilst following another link, not one I've seen before,    

hello all,   been asked by a friend modeller who wishes recreate at his best a C type, or C-1 downwards-firing seat in about a 1:5 scale, he still states these models had the same man-seat separator as the one fitted to the C-2 upward-firing seat. As far as my searching has gone I can say they instead didn't, at least all pictures I found do not show that precise type of separator  -    the inverted 'Y'-like strap running behind and under the aviator and his survival kit ensemble. Unless it is present still behind that kind of perforated pad being visible against seat's backrest, but I cannot making it out; neither the vintage technical drawings for these models do show anything of this. Sure the C and C-1 (much likely the B-2 as well) as built by Stanley Aviation were fitted with the automatic gas-operated opening system for the seat lap belts, given the extremely narrow environment the pilots were within if ejecting at very low altitude but, that's another matter.   Quest from the modeller had me looking further for better results, yet I'd confirm the downward-ejecting models for the F-104 didn't have the C-2 type of separator. Please any different thoughts by anyone? Thanx.

My stand out image was during an early morning drive with sun and mist I was passing by Stonehenge when an Apache went into the hover just to the one side of it, almost looked like it was bowing to it before it moved off. No chance to take a photo but an image burned into my memory of the Apache in the early morning mist just a few yards away from those ancient stones.  The other fleeting moment was as a kid walking down a lane near my home when a Mosquito flew from left to right a few hundred yards in front of me and at about 500ft., this aircraft was later to crash whilst doing aerobatics at an airshow killing both the crew. The last flying UK Mosquito although one is dues to be delivered in about 2027/28 to be operated out of Kent. There is one that was restored to non flying but can do fast taxying over at East Kirkby Lincs along with Lancaster Just Jane. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1557422151631280
