    This shows 2x tents near the bottom of the page.

    Why not cover it in camo netting and fit anti aircraft battery within it.!

    Yes air testing happens and flights in and out worth parking up on the road behind the airfield overlooking the farmers field you get a nice view.

    Watched a program last night on sky about life during the war from both sides it showed evacues but also some very nice cine film footage(think thats what it is) video camera now!, so they got the film from somewhere & lots of other camera photos.

    So they had film before the war and bought it from the americans, if caught taking pictures of allied down aircraft what was the result?

    I’m a bit confused here. Are we talking about mobile generators, general purpose trailers, trolleys or hand-carts?

    Here’s my 1937 contribution, complete with reclining erk!

    A mobile sun lounger now that might catch on.!

    No flying, Whats the point of the show?

    Aircraft belong in the sky doing what they do best flying.

    Its a gathering of warbirds and veterans, much like a fly in. You can get incredibly close to the aircraft whilst on the ground and can see them arriving and departing, sometimes flybys happen after departure too.

    Unfortunately it is now difficult to get authorisation for display flying at North Weald due to airspace restrictions.

    Cheers, Huw:)

    Errrrm was going to get the tent out for a airing i’ll think about it a long way to go for a static weekend shame no flying have to get there early to catch them on landing some may be there the night before.

    Unless they nicked it for use in a drag racer!

    But the security at the MOD must be a joke.

    What newspaper was that then? However you should never let the facts get in the way of a good story. So, to quote the Stamford

    News of the world old boy page 24 top left yorkshire edition if any different., above the advert for the toyota yaris.

    PP-Primarily this event is intended as a charity fund raiser for Help for Heroes and the Sydney Camm Trust and not just another airshow. This is reflected by the low entrance fee. It is a unique chance to get up close to some warbirds normally out of reach in a sterile live side (Legends flightline walk excepted). It is also an opportunity to meet a large gathering of aviation veterans. If this doesnt float your boat PP, fine, dont go. But please dont knock an event trying to do a little good work.;)

    Easy tiger, i won’t knock any event for Help the heroes i do and have give to this charity.

    As for the event it’s just a long trip for a static one day event no it’s not my cup of tea but if you lot like it fair enough if had a flying display then i would. enjoy it. PP.
