hmmmmmmmm….MOOOOSE!
Moose was THE one. Moose/Candyman was my first ever encounter with a mustang. It is this aircraft, in these colours which defines a mustang to me. Well, there might be more colourful mustangs out there, i know there are, but it is our dear old Moose which started things off with me, and i owe a lot to it!

I’ve been looking through this thread in it’s entirety tonight – brings back great memories of GWAD, Fighter Meet, Biggin etc.
Chris, I feel the way about MH434 in it’s Adrian Swire scheme as you do about Moose. During the mid-Seventies the aircraft popped in to Shoreham unanounced and gave a tremendous display, while me and a school mate were looking round the hangars. What a special impact these aircraft have on us as youngsters.

N9012P, same time & place.

Convair 440, LN-KLK, Norsk Metropolitan Klub, same time & place.

WD413, same time & place.

W.Malling, 26/8/84.

here is a photo of BM597 at biggin hill BofB weekend 2000. it was taking part in the mass Spitfire scramble.

I don’t think the owner of that Ford Escort will have any luck in fitting the Spitfire in their boot!:D 😀

I did try…! 😉

I will post Some photos of firefly but in a new thread as a tribute.

When was the picture of Doug Arnolds P51D Petie2 taken?
And who were the pilots of this and the P38 and did he have pilots that flew regularly for him?

Petie 2nd appeared one day at West Malling probably somewhere around 1989. Chris Bevan used to do the majority of the flying for Doug.

From last years Woodchurch Wings’nThings hosted by Rob Davies. This photo was taken after the display had fionished and most of the spectators had gone home.
This is of the Bell 47 (G-MASH?) viewed from infront of BigB. It was a superb day.

and the last aircraft of the day being refueled 😉

Nice Cessna in the background 😀

From the same show i think. Is it the Dutch DC-4?

Thank you for those who have contributed to this post so far. I never expected to see so many gems! Keep it up, so that other people who lurk around this froum can appreciate them.

duxfordhawk- I Have photos of firefly taken this year including photo with Hurricane,gladiator and nimrod taken at Duxford just before accident it doesnot seem right to post them though,i miss her and crew badly.

I understand your reservation duxfordhawk, but i feel this thread is a place for rememberance. It would be nice to see your pictures of the firefly and her devoted crew where they belonged, in the air. If anyone else objects to this please share your views, but i believe they should be posted as a memorial to the RNHF crew passed from this life doing something they loved.

regards,

Try again to post this pic

One from 1980 I think??? Biggin Hill RNHF with 4 at the show

Sunderland ML814, Biggin Hill 1990………….

I meant this one of course – G-BOML.

Gah,
Guess who wasn’t looking properly at his own pic. Indeed Daz, you are right. Nice pic though eh?
Cheers

Lost…

In what way? Lost to the UK audience? :confused:

These two both still fly – D-FEHD is part of the Messerschmitt Foundation (can’t remember the current reg), and G-HUNN is now N109GU.
