After years of missing paperwork a big shout out to the Lincolnshire's Lancaster Association for reuniting lots of significant paperwork with #Hastings #TG517 & #Vulcan #XM594
#NAMarchive
Something from the other place: In a follow up to the recent #Hastings #TG517 posts here are a couple of photos of in-service paintings that we had commissioned:
Operation Plainfare (Berlin Airlift) & Operation Heliotrope (Icelandic Cod War)
Here's ours!

Layers of wintery grime have been cleaned off the white fuselage upper surfaces of our Handley Page Hastings four engine transport aircraft that first flew in the Berlin Airlift after World War Two.
Great to see that some more #NAMspruceUp work has been undertaken on our Berlin Airlift veteran HP Hastings #TG517 - we still have some of the more challenging fuselage sections to tackle.
Thank you for sharing that photo of #TG517
Unlocking the site this morning and it’s great to see that some #NAMspruceUp work has been completed on #Hastings #TG517
