This month we continue our service rundown of the Westland Wyvern and look back at the Royal Air Force in July 1944. On a more modern note we be- gin Tom Kaminski’s comprehensive US Army ORBAT.

Large transport aircraft also played a large part in the display, probably mainly doing flypasts. These included Belfast C.1 XR366 from 53 Sqn, VC-10 XV103 from 10 Sqn, Britannia C.1 XM497 and Hercules C.1 XV216 from Lyneham, and Andover C.1 XS639 from 46 Sqn. The first three were in the standard ASC colours whilst the latter two were in a sand, brown and black camouflage with white serials and ASC wording. The Hercules had ‘216’ on the front of the nose in day-glo whilst the Andover had ‘639’ on the fin along with the squadron badge and the Abingdon badge on the nose. LEFT Vulcan B.2 XH555 from 230 OCU in the static at St Mawgan in the regular camouflage scheme at the time. RIGHT Canberra B(I).8 XM273 ‘H’ from 3 Sqn at St Mawgan with the squadron badge and colours on the tail along with the code in black which was also repeated on the nose wheel door. Other larger aircraft included the Vulcan B.2 XM599 possibly from the Cottesmore Wing, Victor B.2 XL192 from the Wittering Wing and Nimrod MR.1 XV226 probably being flown from Boscombe Down. The two V bombers were camouflaged with black serials and although I didn’t seen any badges on the Vulcan, the Victor carried the Wittering yellow rampant lion badge on the fin. The Nimrod was in medium grey with a white top with no other markings seen. Slightly smaller was the Dominie T.1 XS713 ‘C’ from 1 ANS. It was light grey with a white roof and red trim, the code was in white on the red part of the fin. Meteor T.7 WH166 ‘27’ from the CFS at St Maw- gan with their colours on the nose. Training aircraft, most probably flying from St Mawgan, included two Chipmunk T.10s from Bristol UAS, WK520 ‘A’ and WG420. WK520 was in silver with strip-day-glo and had a blue spinner and spine fillet, plus the red rudder tip that I saw on the aircraft at Exeter in June. WG420 in contrast was in light grey with strip day-glo and the only unique marking was the official badge on a white disk on the cowling. Gnat T.1 XP542 ‘42’ from 4 FTS was in light grey with red day-glo and black codes but no badge, whilst the Jet Provost T.4s from 2 FTS were silver with strip day-glo and black codes plus the yellow panel on the fin. They may have carried the inscription THE VIPERS somewhere but I didn’t make a note if they did. They were XP624 ‘31’, XP669 ‘37’, @MAR 2017 - Page 764 XR667 ‘44’ and one coded ‘32’ that I failed to get the serial of but should have been XR706. Two Hunters from 229 OCU were F.6 XJ713 ‘55’ and FR.10 XE596 ‘13’. One other aircraft that I noted as flying was a Belgian Magister ‘MT-IB’ number 270. Fleet Air Arm participants included Wessex HU.5 XT458 ‘Y/CU’ from 707 Sqn, Sea Vixen FAW.2 XJ582 ‘721/VL’ from 766 Sqn, Buccaneer S.2 XV166 ‘654/LM’ from 736 Sqn and Gannet AEW.3 XL452 ‘766/BY’ from 849 Sqn HQ Flt. They were all in their regular colours without any variations noted. The final FAA aircraft were Hunter GA.11s from 738 Sqn including XF297 ‘781/BY’, XF301 ‘791/BY’, WT808 ‘792/BY’, WV380 ‘794/BY’, WV374 ‘795/BY and WV267 and XE716 which I suspect were uncoded at that time. The aircraft were in grey and white with the usual white codes and in addition XF297 also had a day-glo nose, spine and wing tips. As well as the GA.11s I also recorded T.8 WT755 ‘777/BY’ but without any further description or comments. LEFT Varsity T.1 XD366 ‘16’ from the CFS and also at St Mawgan with the nose colours. RIGHT Jet Provost T.4 XS226 in the Red Pelican colours was the third CFS visitor at St Mawgan with the nose colours although un- fortunately the blue inscription, serial and code does not show up. Some of the other serials that I recorded were visiting Pembroke C.1s WV703 and XK884. The former was from the MCS and was in light grey with a white roof, blue cheat line and the RAF ASC inscription in full in black on the nose. The latter, from the WCS, was also in light grey with a white top to the roof, a wide blue flash and spinners but no inscription. Other local Shackletons seen around the airfield wAere MR.2s WG433 ‘R’ and WL787 ‘U’ from the MOTU and an MR.3 with 42 Sqn coded ‘A’ which was probably WR978. The following week it was back to Chivenor again and the regular run of visiting aircraft starting with two Hunter T.7s on 23 September. One was XL622 ‘81’ from 4 FTS whilst the other was another visit from XL601 ‘2’ from West Raynham. Both were in their regular colours. The following day saw Basset C.1 XS769 from the SCS and two Hiller HT.2s, XS705 ‘40’ and XS171 ‘41’, from 705 Sqn. XS705 was in silver, day-glo and the code in black at the rear of the cabin whilst XS171 was in light grey with day-glo but with the code in white on the cabin side and repeated in day-glo on the front of the cabin perspex. On the 26th another Hunter T.7 from 4 FTS, XL591 ‘82’, appeared along with Pembroke C.1 XF798 from the WCS. The latter was in light grey with a white roof, blue cheat line and black RAF AIR SUPPORT COMMAND on the nose. Victor B.2 XL231 from the Wittering Wing with the same yellow fin badge that was on XL192. @MAR 2017 - Page 765 The 27th saw a bigger influx of visitors including the 19 MU Vampire T.11 WZ476 in plain silver with day-glo strips and a rare CATCS Provost T.1 XF877 ‘A’. The latter was in light grey with strip day-glo and the code in black with a white outline in front of the roundel, plus the official CATCS badge above the fin flash. Devon C.1 WB535 was in light grey with a white top, blue flash and RAF ASC in small black letters on the roof. Other training aircraft to visit that day included Hunter F.6 XG204 ‘70’ from 4 FTS and a Jet Provost T.4 from the CAW. The Hunter was camouflaged with the code in black on a large white disk on the sides of the nose that was repeated on the fin. The Jet Provost was XR658 ‘36’ and was in light grey with strip day-glo, the code was in large digits on the sides of the nose and was repeated on the fin, but the usual CAW badge on the rear fuselage was missing. LEFT Hunter F.6 XG190 ‘70’ from 4 FTS displaying the same style of code application that I saw on F.6 XG204.

The Visions Realised 65 Appendix 67 FOREWORD Air Marshal Sir Frederick Sowrey KCB CBE AFC This is a story of determination and endeavour in the face of many difficulties — the site, finance and "the authorities" — which had to be overcome in the significant achievement of the world's first circular airport terminal building . A concept which seems commonplace now was very revolutionary fifty years ago, and it was the foresight of those who achieved so much which springs from the pages of John King's fascinating narrative. Although a building is the central character, the story rightly involves people because it was they who had to agonise over the decisions which were necessary to achieve anything. They had the vision, but they had to convince others : they had to raise the cash, to generate the publicity, to supervise the work — often in the face of opposition to Gatwick as a commercial airfield.
