Hawarden has been an operational airfield for nearly 80 years and has seen some pretty exotic aircraft in that time. So I thought it might be interesting for members to dig into their old Hawarden logs and post some of the interesting things they have seen there in the past. I'll show you mine if you show me yours

. As a starter, here's a few logs from 30 odd years ago:

I love the Gary Numan plane

I saw him at Barton in his Harvard that was painted in a Japanese colour scheme

Maybe the younger members (if we have any!) will know him, he's just had a new album out and received a lot of airtime on BBC6 Music

Thanks for posting

Ian

Hi Ant

Yes I do have some pics - I am intending to scan them in the next week or so and will add them to the thread. I was lucky enough to be invited up in a cherry picker with the BAe photographer some have a few unusual angles

cheers

JD

If I am doing my G-INFO search correctly, I can find no 336 or 337s currently registered in the UK. Wonder if there are any N registered ones around?

I seem to recall it was G-ASLL. That was in the late 60s

But apparently just prior to landing Hughie Green was asked by ATC to confirm "wheels down and locked" to which he responded "wheels down and riveted "
