Peter Vacher’s Hurricane was up and about again today. Let’s say the weather was interesting, the problem with landing just before the storm breaks is you get soaked putting the aircraft away!
Many thanks to the very nice chap in the tower who let us take photos from up there.

Am I right in thinking it was Alec Ingle’s kite at some point?
According to the book by Peter Vacher, Alec Ingle only flew this twice with 605, 12th & 17th Sept 1940. Peter informed me that Alec Ingle was flying V7599 UP-U when he was shot down but I’m not sure if that was his regular aircraft.

After the Cosford experience, I’m rather hoping we won’t need to take any panels off at Waddington this weekend……. 😉
Ah so you were the crew at Cosford…. Shame about the problem on the day, these things happen.
