The Flywheel organisers also arranged for photographer Chris Byrne to be aloft in a Piper Cub as the Bristol Blenheim landed and taxied in. Got these great shots to mark the first arrival of the type at its former wartime centre of operational training for the first time in 70 years.

I thought you were merely representing the ‘Ancient and Tattered Airmen’ Jules. 🙂
The real former aircrew were a tad older than you! (Thanks to Peter de Rousset Hall for the pics)
Actually those who attended in period costume really made the Flywheel event come to life. Well done all!

I fear the age of the crew is a bit of a giveaway!
(not that I could pass for twenty-odd these days myself).Lovely photos, though – must get there soon!

Yes Adrian, I’m aware of the age thing, I don’t make a habit of it, sometime since I could pass as a fresh faced fighter pilot !

Yes, I have to admit, we could not resist to opertunity to get ‘togged up’ and blag our way under the ropes !
Fantastic sight to see her at Bicester after 70 years
