Slightly off topic, but here is a couple of old photographs of a sorry looking TG601. No idea where they were taken, but possibly in north Africa. According to my late father's log books, he first flew in it on 2/12/1950 with Pilot Thirlwell on a 30 minute supply drop, and last flight on 4/11/1953 with Pi...

As far as I am aware TG621 was the only Hastings to actually receive any battle damage, this was via small arms fire during the Suez Crisis on 5th November 1956, were you involved in this flight?

TG611, this was the RAFs last crash during the Berlin Airlift and occurred on take off from Tegel Airport (French Sector) on 16th July 1949, it is thought there may have been incorrect tail trim on take off (or, I have heard an engine failure) resulting in the deaths of five RAF personnel

This aircraft crashed on take-off at RAF Aldergrove on 27th December 1961, thankfully there was no loss of life although the aircraft was a write off, this was the only MET 1 aircraft to have crashed

JohnC · JohnC

TG603 16/06/1952 TG603 of 99 Squadron NO ACCIDENT RECORD CARD EXISTS. I have since received information that this aircraft was 'Blown Off the Runway' at RAF Luqa, Malta and that all onboard survived, understand that Elevator Bolts could have sheared off.
