Apologies if this topic has been covered before,I’m cross-eyed with jet-lag this morning.
Having persuaded Mr. Bee to let me see the MkIII Solent in Oakland,CA for our Ruby Wedding last Sunday,I’d now like to visit the Sandringham.
Does anyone know if it’s on display,and is it accessible by public transport please ?

I flew on Southern Cross on the first flight of the day, 5th September 1977 unfortunately the cloud was hiding the top of the power station chimney so the trip was in doubt, eventually it lifted enough for us to go.
I took several reels of cine film, rather than stills, but I cannot find them now. Perhaps a trip to the loft is called for.

Barnstormer,
As you seemed to like the first two shots from my Sandringham trip I thought I would share the rest with you. Maybe a little indulgent but who cares.
Anyway Calshot in Sept 1977
Trying to board a bobbing seaplane is always fun…
Take off with The IoW in the background
The other half of the instrument panel,
I only got about 5 mins standing in the astrodome but the view was amazing
The power and music of the engines live on in my memory…Oh if only I could rewind the tape of life and repeat the flight
Ok thats it.
