At least Terry the Hermes was quiet in comparison to the Haystack! Actually I was flying out to the Far but via Airwork your route almost but in reverse, did you know that it was the Army that insisted on the Hastings having a tail wheel for easier loading than with a nosewheel, try telling that one to the Air Movement bods in those days. Shall have to get you back on Activeboard somehow Terry........

Hi
I have been reseaching flights by Skyways out of stansted, & inparticular their Hermes G-ALDV which crashed just outside the airport on 1/4/1958 whilst on a test flight killing the crew of three, Do you know of any pics, of this A/C. or maybe have one of Skyways other A/C Please?
