Although we all like to think that everything in life revolves around aviation I think the real answer lies with the Atomic Research Agency just down the road at Aldermarston, but ssshhhh…..it doesn’t exist 😉

I will be going, it’s always a good show 🙂

Don’t know what time I will be there though as I have to pop into the Bedford vechile gathering at Cambridge first. I’ve never met anyone from this forum yet so if there is going to be a meet it would be good to see some of you.

Scrapheap Challenge is filmed at a scrapyard in Finchampstead Ridges ( Wokingham kind of area ) so I would guess the airfield would be fairly near by.

If we go a little bit beyond the second world war I’ve always wanted to be able to buy an injection moulded kit of the Hadley Page Hastings. I know there’s a vacuum formed kit but thats about as useful to me as a chocolate fireguard – I’m not that good at kits.

I think it is all to do with the remaining fatigue life, which is not a lot! The aircraft are pretty much restricted to essential flights only. An apperance in the static is a rare event in itself. Having said that I witnessed a PR9 display back in the eighties and it was one of the best displays I’ve ever seen, fantastic.

Thanks Gareth, excellent photo’s.

Sheer Magic, two Lightnings in full cry. I recommend it for anyone who hasn’t been.

Now if I can just figure out how to stop the ringing in my ears 😀
