Great shot Dave, still trying to find long lost logs for Lasham from around the time of your photo, especially from the Staravia (?) scrap yard.

Those were the days, Comets everywhere! Won't see that sort of activity at Lasham again, I suspect. Much skill and talent lost, but I hope those looking for work after the demise of ATC have been successful in their search.

Excellent Photo. The Gnat was apparently a joy to fly, it handled like a fighter. I can can say from bitter experience that it was a B.....D to work on. Everything was shoe horned into an incredibly small space and what ever was u/s was the furthest component away. I learnt a lot from that aircraft.

I tried getting into one at Valley; it was difficult even for me at just under 6 ft tall.
At Halton one day, I nearly got to taxy one! They had a couple on the engine running base (training 'brats') and needed to get them back to the hangar. I was there with some other guys flying microlights and rather than shut down and tow them, they asked us if we would like to taxy them back. I was third place unfortunately!
