Didn’t have a wide angle lens with me. The enormity was all over, not localised.

There was one at Legends last year. To be generous, she was somewhat on the large side, or more accurately, b****y enormous. Suffice to say the Bristols didn’t match.

That reminds me James, never did see a lady walking around at an airshow wearing the Blenheim t-shirt ‘Happiness is a pair of big Bristols’ & two strategicaly placed Mercurys on the front.

Your a Poly something Steve, not sure of the rest of the answer… Oh, says here ‘math’. Does that help? Have a big Bristols weekend.

Haven’t got my Pooleys with me, but I think DX is one of the airfields where you can come in from outside the UK as long as you give the HMC&E chaps a certain amount of notice.
What a wonderfully vague answer! I should be a politician! 😀

Errrmmmm…returning to the thread :rolleyes: wot about Customs clearance? Doesn’t it stop somewhere en route, or do the men with the hats go to DX for the weekend just to cover the foreign arrivals?

If it hits you I don’t think you’d care where it belonged…;)

Doesn’t the short-range surface-to-surface Assegi Mk I belong on the new ‘Missiles & munitions’ sub-forum? 😀

UTC is something nasty invented by the French. Its GMT and it will always be GMT.

No wonder it took 40 years to figure out what happened to Glen Miller.
