I havent seen Barry on there.

I belive it was a Messenger.

Er, i wasnt. I think my post crossed with yours. Chris also mentioned it was marked on the aeronautical map. He was going to try and fish a map out with it marked. I have never heard mention of No6 EFTS using it.

Chrisair used this field for joyriding in the summer around late fifties and early sixties using DH Dragon G-ADDI and Austers. Welcome any details/photographs ?

Billing Airfield???? never known of an airfield at Billing but i will see what i can find out.

Unfortunate and potentially dangerous but i doubt it was illegal, unless the NOTAM mentions anything different. Just because it is an organized event doesn’t automatically seal off the airspace above it.

Would be interesting to see if the light aircraft filed an Airprox against the Spitfire

That depends if the event had NOTAM’d Airspace, if it was an organised event with a CAA permision then it would have!!

Thats Dad flying Stampe G-ASHS:)
It was Lewis “Benjy” Benjamin flying the SOW Tiger with his wife Lolita on the wing.

Here is a paper cutting from the time.

WOW, has anybody got details of who has these films???? PLEASE!
Have not watched the fist yet as it keeps locking!!!!!!
The second in particular features my father Charles Boddington flying the Super Tiger(Archbishop) Aero’s and the Stampe, also the current owner of ASHS will be interested.
For info G-ALNR wasnt Derreks Tiger, it belonged to the Tiger Flying Group at Poddington of which Derrek, my father and Harvey Britain were members, you can see Harvey wing walking the Tiger in at the RAF Display just before my father gets out! This maybe Cottesmore, i have a note from the station comander thanking Dad for the display!!
Derrek has had a few Tigers but his own long owned one is G-ANNK which he still has.

I would love to get a copy of these, as kids we spent alot of time at Poddington durring these days.

Near as dammit, based on the design as I remember. Anyhow about as near to a real SE5 as a Tiger moth is to a Spitfire.

Lycoming engined 7/8 scale aeroplanes are not at all significant historically.

And Richthofen was dead before the reached him. He did NOT utter ‘Kaput’

So much promised ruined by bad editing and crap information

Continental 0200 powered actually, and its a Replica Plans 7/8 replica thats not based on the Curry Wot at all!! What were you saying about crap information:rolleyes:
