It stopped been used by the RAF in 1948. It was then taken over by the navy until 1958

The item does not specify that only RAF flying had to have ceased by that date.

This point has also been clarified already :

We have to disallow the Gypsy Caravan on this rule …

No worries, I’ll stop clutching at straws and find another one :slightly_smiling_face:

Can I swap it to the car boot sale entry instead?

Not seeing any visual evidence of a Car Boot Sale, I think this rule might be an issue:

It’s a special socially distanced Covid 19 car boot sale. You can see one van in the Centre when I land. The other seller is around the corner out of site

Disallow?
The Gypsy’s horse is part of my photo :thinking:

But there’s no bonus for a Gypsy horse on its own.
So, the only item being submitted is a caravan, which is way off the the right in a different county.

You might meet my next-door neighbour over there if you are conspicuously flying at Ford. He’s the senior officer at HMP Ford who will immediately suspect you of trying to fly contraband over his fence :slight_smile:

I have just looked back now at this in more detail ( I was still out on the road when I posted) and its quite close to the bonus point, I hadn’t counted until now and there are over 50 tanks just 30 odd of them are the round tanks.

Close but no cigar. + my submission doesn’t clearly show a clear quantity.
