cheddar cheese and pickle

Or, “Wake up . . .”

with a gift for womankind

By all accounts he was not a nice man but amazing stage presence. Saw him in 1978 (twice) and just before he died. Incredible shows.
I want to do “Sweet Gene Vincent” with my new band . . .

Pity it wasn’t his aeroplane.
Has anyone got a picture of the Consolidated Packet that used to sit next to the Fishbed at NW?

a seasoned-up Hyena
could not have been more obscener!

Bloody hell, to think that is the same Dakota.
Why is that virtually everthing that passes through Aces High ends up falling to bits? :rolleyes:

The blue Ian Dury DC3 N3455 went to Sandtoft or North Coates for a while and is now back at North Weald in a camouflaged scheme having been used for filming in Band of Brothers. It is now just a fuselage but you can see the blue paint underneath where the paint is coming off.
