Well worth a look.
Hundreds of shots from Blackbushe through the interesting years.

Thanks Mark – a good couple of hours gone there. A great account of the development on the airfield by a real insider in another era of operations.

I don’t think those days are gone, a very good friend of mine has built up a very nice collection over the years at an unknown airfield.

I live near Blackbush but I don’t remember those special days of the Black Knight, Warbirds of GB and all the other operators based there.
If you look at the warbird scene today it looks a lot more corporate, business like. There doesn’t seem room for the enthusiast collector to start a collection. Base himself at some unknown airfield and become an aviation icon, ledgend.
That’s not to knock all the wonderful operators and aircraft we have to see each year. It just seems more unusual to peer over the fence of a local airfield and see such a wonderful array of aircraft.
I was wondering if those days are gone for good?
