For this trip I borrowed a 10-22 mm lens as there were many aircraft at the Newark Air Museum to experiment with. In the end I was convinced that such a small lens is indeed a very useful addition to my kit.

Wearing its original military colours and just a very small civil registration under the tailplane, this Varsity gets ready to taxi for take-off. G-BEDV is often incorrectly said to be c/n 619, but that is WJ895. The c/n for WJ945 is unknown.

This Varsity is part of the Allies in Berlin exhibition adjacent to TXL, not to be confused with the Allied Museum in Zehlendorf. It's run by the friendly biker-style Cafe Hangar-Tegel. From their terrace you can photograph landing aircraft for Rwy 26R.

In total 163 Varsities were built and of these 36 came off the production line at Brooklands. This Varsity was the 18th built and delivered to the RAF in 1951 and served until final retirement from No. 6 FTS at RAF Finningley in 1976. It spent the next 12 years at Sibson Airfield near Peterborough before being purchased by Brooklands Museum in September 1988. Note the 'Royal Air Force Training Command' titles and code letter are on the port side only.

Taken on charge in 7.52 and seen in store with 5MU after service with 5 FTS at RAF Oakington. Interestingly this machine had been used along with WL679 at Farnborough in the early 1960s on 'Airborne Rafter' trials in which MI5 attempted to track the radios of KGB agents in Britain using technology similar to TV detectors. Broken up and removed next year
