RE: Happy Easter Reply to Frank

I’ll second that one Frank, next time I’m in Belgium I’m buying one of those nice chocolate Duvel or Palm bottles, they look totally exquisite.

RE: Happy Easter

Kev…I visited Capel-le-Ferne on last Thursday morning…my fiance and I were the only two visitors there….the sun was shining…not a cloud in the sky…hardly a noise to be heard…so peaceful…and such a perfect memorial 🙂

RE: Happy Easter

Rabie and Ashley,

Thanks for the info, I’ve made a note of all of those. Top of my list is Capel-le Ferne, I would imagine it’s a very moving place to visit and I’m very much looking forward to it.

Thanks again

RE: Happy Easter

Kev…in addition to those already mentioned by Rabie, there is the Battle of Britain Museum at Hawkinge, the Battle of Britain Memorial at Capel-le-Ferne (just outside Folkstone), the Brenzett Aeronautical Museum at Brenzett (between Ashford and New Romney)…Dover Castle is certainly worth a visit as mentioned by Rabie, there is a tour of the wartime tunnels ~ the commentary/tour follows a Lysander pilot who has ditched in the sea and has been brought to the underground hospital at Dover Castle…

Hope this helps!

“And Rabie, while I’ve got your attention could you do me a favour? I know you’re a legend at digging out info and pics, I’d really appreciate it if you could see what you could find out about aviation places of interest in your part of the country, Kent, as I may be down there in the summer. Particularly anything off the beaten track or a little bit out of the ordinary.“

not sure if i’ve got this right but two good places to go are

the musem at the old RAF manston (by Margate – now called something like kent interantional airport)

right round the corner from me, the medway aircraft preservation society – there is a thraead about this on flypast with some good links. they have done up a laod of planes. i went there and you basically are right up touching the spitfire they were doing up at the time. its just a volunter orgaisation on the samll rochester airport. if you can this is worth a try.

there isn’t a musem at biggin hill, just replica spits and hurricnaes as gate guards – not sure whats a lydd airport but other than that not that much in kent really. dover castel has a nuclear bunker underneath it that is intresting but it isn’t aviation.

ask for more details.

RE: Happy Easter

Have a nice easter,and have lots of chocolate. It´s a delicious sin. But have good one. In Spain we have also (we are always eating) Roscon which is a kind of a big roll, like a enormous sponge cake with dry fruits inside.

RE: Happy Easter

Happy easter to everyone out here from an inhabitant of the world’s greatest chocol…hmmmmh producer! 🙂

RE: Happy Easter

Rabie,
How considerate of you to think of an old fool like me, My heart is gladdened by your concern.

I was joking. I’ve gotten used to not having chocolate, of course, the drugs help tremendously!

I hope you all stuff yourselves silly with chocol…that stuff. And feel free to enjoy my share.

And Rabie, while I’ve got your attention could you do me a favour?

RE: Happy Easter

Can we please stop talking about chocolate? Spare a thought for us poor diabetics for whom Easter is not chocolate Heaven but chocolate hell.I can’t bear any talk of chocolate cake, chocolate bars, chocolate mousse, chocolate eggs, chocol…..

I thnk I’d better go and lie down in a darkened room.

Happy Easter,
