  1. Out of Dornoch, Scotland on the northeast coast up from Inverness.  Famous for their castle, cathedral and outstanding golf course - burned their last witch in 1727.  Overnighted there at a nice B&B on our way up to John O'Groats.

    The Brits acquired one towards the end of hostilities - gave it a couple of roundels and a Flt Lt to put on a demo.  He rolled, the tail didn't.

    Interesting jet and nice shots of it..    Hope the tail is not made of wood.

    It wasn't the wood so much as the glue.  Apparently someone dropped a bomb on the glue factory so they came up with a substitute - wasn't very good.

  4. From me to me.  The Heinkel He162 - one of Germany's "almost" entries in the jet era.  Partially built with wood, it had some glue problems but the 'Beemer' engine on top was good.  It's fun to fly especially when it doesn't flame - had that a couple of flights - time to read the manual.

     

    These are in the Llanbedr area of northwest Wales.
