What did you do with your weekend?

Went to Old Warden for the show on Saturday, it was brilliant, then flew down to the Isle of Wight today for a slap up lunch at the Crab and Lobster. What a way to spend a Monday!!!:D

The Black Horse

The Pub in Ireland is called “The Black Horse” and it is indeed a very fine pub with superb food. Can’t comment on whether it serves food Sunday evening though

Good Pub in Old Warden

Definitley the Hare and Hounds, however get there early because as well as being damned good, it is damned popular!
See you in there for a pint before the show!:D

I do not believe that this has begun refurbishment. The intention was to do so, but i am not sure how the MOD view a private operator flying such a potent warplane. They wouldn’t want some civilian to start up a dog fight with one of their tornado’s! 🙂

RE: A36 Still at Duxford

The A36 invader (Apache) sadly didn’t display at the Autumn Air Show. I saw her on Sunday at DX and her flaps, fin rudder and elevaators have all been removed and wrapped up in bubble wrap. They usually don’t take that much care during normal winter servicing!

Also there are many other components removed. I can only assume that the reports of her returning across the pond are true. I am glad that I was able to get extensive video footage of her flying witu both Steve Hinton and Stephen Grey at the controls in the week leading up to Flying Legends!! anyone want a copy?
