Following the recent thread which debated the finer points of the Pilot’s Pal calendar, Page 74 of this months (July) Flypast features a great calendar for 2006 called Faces from the Blue.
The calendar is the idea of Sarah Pepper, Air Display Co-ordinator for the Historic Aircraft Collection and photographer, marketing expert Jon Johnston. It features the owners, operators and pilots of many of the Historic Aircraft flying in the UK today.. This years pin ups are Guy Black, Clive Denney, Charlie Brown, Rod Dean, Jeanne Frazer, Stuart Goldspink, Carolyn Grace, Pete Kynsey, Lee Proudfoot, John Romain, Cliff Spink, Anna Walker and Ray Hanna. Unfortunately or fortunately depending on your point of view non are topless, however each model gave their time freely.
All of the profits from the sale of the Calendars will go to two charities, Flying Scholarships for the Disabled and The Mark Hanna Surgical Research Fellowship.
The first 100 calendars are signed by the featured pinups and cost £50.00 each on a first come first served basis, 101 to 2000 are available for a minimum donation of £20.00, plus £4.50 postage.

Don’t ever remember seeing Stephen posing in a jacket but i do his son Nick

I seem to recall that Stephen Grey is one of the faces on a jacket company ad that regularly runs in a magazine not a million miles from here… If so, he obviously doesn’t likie to poke his head over the parapet too much as he’s been standing in the same place in the same jacket in front of the same Spitfire for what feels like about fifteen years…

Think
Not counting ‘candid’ or ‘Avaratzi’ shots, how many pictures have you seen published of Mr G?
By: Black Knight - 12th September 2005 at 12:40
No I snapped a copy up as soon as i saw it. I was only wondering why as it appears to be full of Duxford personallities & my own personal view is along with Ray Hanna, Stephen would rank highest.

I honestly don’t know. Maybe Messers Grey aren’t photogenic. 🙂
Is it a problem, has it stopped you from purchasing a copy ?
By: Bradburger - 12th September 2005 at 02:03
I’ve no idea Alexis. :confused:
EN830 will probably be able to answer.
Maybe Grey Snr is saving himself for next years perhaps along with Grey jnr?
Cheers

Ah! A Zimmer frame with a canapé. 🙂
Mark
Is it a Data Plate re-build ? How many genuine Zimmer parts does it really contain ?

1. Robbo was chuffed to see that Faces from the Blue had made provisions for the OAP’s amongst us.

10.27am Just arrived back in civilisation, a great night despite the best efforts of Flymaybe and the M25 orbital car park. Nice to meet up with Robbo, Mark 12, Janie and Darren etc. Even managed to have a pint on Francois’s bench at the Red Lion, a precursor to Legends in a couple of weeks time. Hope to post some pictures here later on today.

Are you using the new EU sponsored calendar that cuts down the number of working days in the week?. My good old Banner calendar has Thursday as the 23rd Jun.!
Brian
Sorry I wasn’t taking into account that the UK charge VAT and of course you are quite right the 23rd, but look on the brightside by replying I get to bump this back up again.
Ian,
Please introduce yourself on Thursday, as I will be at the launch. I should be easy to spot, as I will be doing photographs. (I will post a few if Jon and Sarah agree).
Me also, Sarah has asked me to bring along my Kodak Box Brownie for the event.
