Richard’s Roving Eye article continues to evolve, with more history appearing!

Updates include:

• REII photographs at Fairoaks Airfield, Chobham for a stunt flying programme from Brian Balshaw.
• REII photographs from Pat Jessup.
• NYN 286Y is transferred to Pebble Mill, for Top Gear.
• Some re-arrangement of the sections to improve the time-lines.
• More on the proposed CRE rebuild.

Richard’s article about The BBC Roving Eye vehicles has been updated again, as more information is being brought to our attention!

The latest update includes some colour pictures of REII at Churchill’s funeral and some new pictures of NYN 286Y.

Richard’s “Roving Eye” article just keeps on growing – the latest version now includes Roving Eyes RE3 and RE4 (which were never completed) and RE5 (which became the LMCR). Many thanks to our contributors for the extra information.

The “Roving Eye” article by Richard was withdrawn at his request for some last minute updates, including more new photographs. It has now been reinstated and can be found here.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
