If you have Itunes you can view a clip of the new film , it’s in the Podcasts section under Trailercast.tv.Dawn Rescue. But better still read the book called “Escape from Laos” By the man himself. , I got my copy from a 2nd hand bookshop, its a really good read. (although I’m sure the publishers will reprint it off the back of the new film.:) )

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess this years Legends could have just as many last appearance’s as firsts. I hope not I love the “Big Cats” routine.

OK ok so I let my enthusiasm get the better of me but a Bomber Command night/evening a Duxford would be a great idea. Airfields at dusk have an extraordinary atmosphere.

I helped out on this project back in the mid 90’s and spent many happy evenings at Dick Meltons hangar. He told me he was planning to fly it up to the Lake District, and I always hoped to be there on that day. It’s an amazing aircraft with a great story. It’s also had a lots of TLC and could still make it to flight!.

I remember my first visit to an airshow back in the eighties, you were lucky if you got 1 spitfire or Mustang back then, and I recall thinking how great it would be to have massed formations of exotic warbirds like they were doing in the US. We are still just as lucky to see these things now as it was then, and with costs rising and red tape tightening we should just enjoy the summers flying what ever it brings.
