Another of Brian Robbins’s splendid colour photographs of Hunting-Clan aircraft, a number of which we used to illustrate Angela’s article in TAH6. This one depicts Vickers Viscount 833 G-APTC (c/n 425), seen at Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia (now Harare, Zimbabwe) in 1959.

“Hot toddy, Sir?” - this TWA Lockheed Super Constellation advert evokes the convivial effect for which stewardess Angela Waller was aiming. Note how the artist has added cabin headroom for enhanced marketing value.

Following publication of our article on Hawker Hurricane PZ865’s post-war racing career in TAH5, Chris Farara and Dick Poole alerted us to the fact that the late David Lockspeiser had built a 1/72nd-scale model of Hawker Tomtit G-AFTA, and finished it in the very same paint used on all the Hawker “heritage" aeroplanes. TAH has borrowed the model from David’s family, to examine the colour - which is close to Methuen 20F8, and just a touch lighter than Humbrol 15 Gloss Midnight Blue.
