Blimey 1946, 2km’s away 😮 Far to close for comfort. I guess I’d never really thought of that. Do you get the glider clubs circuling above on the good thermals? :diablo:

Rob, sounds like some parts chasing still to do! Guess that can be one of the best bits though, better than collecting models and then just having them sitting there, at least once you’ve finnished collecting you’ll have a complete aircraft.

Well done all at HFL and thanks for the gen and great piccies Darren.

Slightly of topic but if you’ve been at Duxford today Darren would you know if it was the 109 I saw flying over Comberton about 2.30 this afternoon?

Excellent chaps, keep it up! Excellent photo’s and stories and info. 🙂

Rob, thats some restoration project you’ve got there! I guess it will literally allow you to do a ground up restoration. Have you got much more than just the airframe?

1946, nice looking beastie you’ve got there. Looking at that picture makes me think more about how nice it would be to emigrate to Australia for the winter, I’m not jealous of your weather, honest! 😀

It’s a shame that this has happened and I hope that AACF have not lost to much money on printing and advertising etc. I also hope this isn’t going to have to much of an adverse effect on the operation of these expensive old birds. I guess one of the reason’s this has happened is the fact that AACF have been alot more pro-active with there marketing than many of the other operators who offer these flights. If the CAA carry on like this will this not also see the end of the charity flying days where you get a flight for a charitable donation as I guess it’s all based on the same rule?

Hopefully if someone was to make a ‘donation’ of a similar ammount to AACF then they may get invited along for a free ride at sometime in the future.

While this is all very interesting may I just say thanks to LAHarve for posting his pic’s they are great to see.

Also WP840 if you just put the link to the picture on here next time then we’ll all be able to see the pictures and nobody will get upset. Then hopefully we could have some more discussion on this event and hopefully some more pics. 🙂

From a personnel point of view if you copy and paste the pictures and then say what sight there from I cant see what a jot of difference it’s going to make in real terms. (although I know it’s illegal and I wouldn’t do it myself)

Thanks for the info lads. When I saw it I thought it was to big to be a spit and the hole in the top also to large. Having now embarressed myself I shall take my red face of down the pub to drink and go doh, doh, doh….. 😮

Please pay attention Mark! Big Vern has already identified it as Coltishall in ’73 in his Post #37.

‘Albert’ please pay attention, identified by me first in post 32 thanks! 😀

Well picture 91 definately has a ‘airflow’ Mk1 Ford Cortina Super in it although I cant see if it’s an estate or saloon! It’s the one with L plates for those who’ve yet to experiance such fine beasts! 😀

Thanks for the info Mark, a whole box of slides named Chipmunk, mmm, very nice! 🙂

As Bigvern has said in my absence 20 and 36 are the id numbers were looking for. If you come across any then that would be great but it sounds / looks like you’ve got quite a nice collection to go through. 🙂

Mark12 amongst the pictures you have are there any of the Chipmunk pair that flew at the 1973 Coltishall display WG478 and WK507? Just curious as the aircraft by chance still happen to share the same hanger down in Australia! 😮 I’m sure the owners would like to seem them if you have, I could alert them to the thread.

May I even be as bold as to say that pictures 1, 5 and 14 were also taken at th 1973 BoB airshow at Coltishall as the four Lightnings in the flying display were F1A’s XM182 / 214 / 216 and T4 XM997. The same as in the photo’s.
