Регистрационный номер: G-AKHV, G-APEZ, G-ASYS The mortal remains of c/n 6523 G-AKHV decomposing at Baginton in 1966 in front of Ace Freighters DC-4 G-APEZ and one of their Constellations. As it is recorded as being wfu at Biggin Hill 6.66 this calls for a re-think, but we note that both G-AJZJ and G-AKER, also of Messrs Coulson et al, were dismantled at Baginton for spares use at Biggin Hill. In this case however the structure of the Gemini would hardly be worth salvaging. Confirmation of events from Midlands-based readers of a certain age would be welcome for Feedback.
