Martin,

Yes, we had commitments to come down on the Sunday unfortunately. 2 days coming down from Norwich is just too much!! I am sure we will catch up in due course. David left the cockpit with us, so I did see it, and the power egg!

Hi Martin

Gues who’s battery run out on my camera on saturday!!

I would k*ll for a picture of Captain Eric “Winkle” Brown sitting in my Hornet F.1 cockpit. I wont say too much on this forum, because I believe that the Hornet 50th anniversary re-union will be officially covered by the “other” magazine, but it was a great event, much enjoyed by all in attendance.

I’ll let you know in a few minutes as I’m about to download the pics. from my camera !
I was going to post some pics. of the event, shouldn’t be a problem even if the ‘other’ mag. is doing an article should it ??? anybody have any views ???

A memorable event, thanks to all involved

Martin

I asked for you to say hello on Saturday & you were not there, you missed some very rare aircraft pieces & people.
Pics. to follow

Martin

Don’t usually do cockpits, but today for some reason two of the Sea Vixen (best I could do ). The red airframe is I believe DHC3 Otter VP-FAK, an ex British Artic Survey aircraft, the Comet cockpit in the background is from the ex Duxford C.2(R) xj695.

Thanks indeed, but do say hello next time!!

Nice pictures. What is the 9th picture – Red fuselage outside next to the Comet nose.

Thats the Antartic Otter as discussed in great detail in the ‘Long range preservation’ thread. 😀
