Old Buckenham in Colour.

Moggy C. Yes love that word thespian ! The Cub ownership no problem, but I have always understood that this is the well known, local, actors Stearman … or has it had a change of colour ??? … Keith.

(And one of the bases where James Stewart was stationed).

And also Water Matthau I discovered today.

The Stearman and Cub have a current actor owner – obviously an airfield for thespians.

J Boyle. Hi yes the very same, but much smaller, lots of history here !
Keith.

Thanks for the reply.
I have family in Felixstowe and spend a lot of time in the area, it’s not too far juding by the map.
The next time I’m over there, I’ll hire a car and do some exploring!

No question is silly, I guarantee there are lots of other people out there wanting the same answer ? Isn’t it so nice to share such things with the rest of the world … a coming together of knowledge … before it all dies away 🙂

Keith.

Probably a silly question…just for confirmation…
This is the same “Old Bucs” airfield that was a B-24 base in the war?
(And one oi the bases where James Stewart was stationed).

I have made another quick visit to Old Buckenham, and rather than start a new thread I will add a couple of photos here …

I think there must be a reason these three aircraft were parked this way ?? Would anybody know ??

Hello Keith

steve rowell. Hmm, I was suprised as only the yellow ‘tiger moth’ was out to play ? usualy there is a blue ‘tiger moth’ and a silver ‘tiger moth’ all playing happily together !! “what do you think children” maybe they have had a little squabble ??? next week we will look through the round window and hope to find them all playing together as friends ??? 😀 😀 😀 sorry steve a little uk humour ?

mike currill. Yes when it approached I had a long lens on it and had no idea what I was looking at ? High wing, single engine, retracs …. and flying quite fast !

Thanks to all !

Keith.
