Next show is Walney Cumbria 16/7/05 unless we get un-indated for her
That is good news. We, at BDAC, did mourn her leaving us, but it is nice to see the old girl flying again. Noone can beat her blue note being played by Dave Southwood though!!!
At her 40th birthday party, I photoed her flying past venting the Porton tanks, she was co-altitude with me (I was on our buildings roof). My best photo was taken as I fell over…I shall try and dig it out. 🙂

Him being ex raf said , wouldn’t be one of them flying around now..
Great to have seen it up.

The beautiful Hunter
Awesome show guys! Also many thanks to all those who posted photos of the hunters displaying this weekend at Kemble (couldn’t make it – too far away these days!) absolutely marvellous stuff! Now all we need is to hear the amazing sound made by that harmonious dragmaster named after a light throwing spear (yeah right!) the Gloster Javelin (well one can dream – they did make a most distinctive sound).
