B170 Thank you Peter, at least I appreciated all the Bristol Freighters on the header photo the other day. A little bit of information on the photo's, the photo of the Stubby Nosed freighter, GAICF started life with Air Work at Blackbushe, then with BEA at Heathrow, then with Silver City, then with Lancashire Aircraft Company at Blackpool and crashed at Winter Hill. The pilot in the other photo, was Len Madeleine, chief pilot at Silver City. Bob Carter Many thanks Bob, much appreciated!! Peter

Quite a number of photos online of G-AICS with BEA...it would mainly have operated from their base at Northolt around 1950-1951 and they'd sold it off by the time they opened their big hangar at Heathrow I think.

This Lodestar might have been lurking by the trees till Farnborough week in 1950.....though looking rather forlorn here and missing its rudders it was flown back to the USA and sold
