You missed quite a lot Alan!
The Connie duly arrived, as did the MkXVIII Spitfire,
Don’t rub it in 🙁
As we left, the Spitfire was doing it’s display. I should have left my radio on !!!!

The Connie duly arrived, as did the MkXVIII Spitfire, the RNHF Sea Fury and one of the Biggin Hill Spitfires.
Oh, and the newly-reengined Buchon was one of quite a number of test flights made late on.
Looking good for the weekend!

Well, it didn’t turn out too bad today. Pretty miserable but no rain thankfully.
Apart from the Catalina taking off about lunchtime, not much else happened until gone 3pm.
Then everything started moving.
A shame that the Constellation didn’t make it in, and for some strange reason diverted to Farnborough.
I’m told he circled the Clacton area at 600ft for some time, whilst trying to decide what to do. I would have
thought Southend would have been a better choice, closer and cheaper ? No other arrivals during the day,
and we left at just before 6pm.
Will put a few pictures up later.

It would be good to see the Blenheim out in the daylight, maybe even taxiing!! Who knows?

Well, I have to see the Doc about my Gout, tyre change on my wheelchair, take the cat to the Vet and then sneak out quietly for the weekend before anybody notices.

Tonight’s “nice and pretty weather Lady” says (for East Anglia) rain Saturday, cloud Sunday. I predict huge throngs on the DX corner by mid morning Friday…:highly_amused:
I will be there tomorrow at 1130.
I was there today, and the day before….
I will also be there Saturday and Sunday, all day, form 0730 till thrown out.
Monday, curiously, same same…
Tuesday – Day at home.
Ta 😀

Watching the Tour De France earlier, they said they were expecting rain until Sunday !!

Looking at “meteox” , there doesn’t seem to be much dodgy weather in France and Central Europe at the moment which might prevent any arrivals.
The nice and pretty weather lady just told me otherwise, but Europe is big after all. Hope meteox is right.

I’m finally coming back. Be nice to see some old friends.
It will be good to see you Snapper!

The weather will improve. Question is, will the European birds manage to come over.

Weather is awful at the moment-hope it improves for the weekend .
By: AlanR - 10th July 2014 at 14:07
I may just go up on the Thursday, weather permitting.
Well the weather didn’t permit, so will try for Friday.
(I hope it’s ok to mention this 🙂 )
