The missing Link
'Raspberry Ripple' painted Empire Test Pilots School's Avro (Hawker Siddeley) Andover C.1 XS606 parked outside Shoreham's Terminal building back in 1986.
Singer Link Miles Ltd., built both civil and military Flight Simulators over in nearby Lancing and the ETPS would make an annual pilgrimage here from their base at Boscombe Down for the students to view and try their hand on the latest technology that the company could offer.
Whilst the School still flourishes at Boscombe, Singer Link Miles folded - as did their Andover, being sold off as TL-AEW for use in relief work in Africa.
Unfortunately, on the 10th November 2015 she crashed and burnt out on take-off from Malakal Airport in South Sudan.
Luckily all four crew survived.
