  • THE MIG-21 story and picture: Keith A. Saunders pictured that recently made the short road journey from Bolling Air Force Base, situated just three miles south of Washington DC to the Paul E. Garber Facility at Suitland, Maryland has an origin shrouded in mystery. Delivered to Suitland on two low loaders the MIG was assembled in time for the 1991 Open House. Answers by museum staff to questions on the history of the aeroplane were vague only suggesting that it had been supplied by an Air Force source.

    Caught in the lens. When this Sopwith Pup flew at Old Warden on 5 August 1991, it sustained some damage on the upper wing when a piece of engine cowling came adrift. Eric Croxon's picture shows the cowling close to the tailfin.
    No reflection on the Shuttleworth Collection, whose engineering safety record is undeniably excellent, but we could not resist using yet another picture of Sopwith Pup N5180 shedding its cowling at Old Warden on August 4, 1991. This remarkable shot, sent by a reader who clearly has very quick reactions, shows the damage to the upper wing, with one section of cowling falling away below the axle and another disappearing aft between the port wing rigging wires.
