Well if you did go you’d have been disappointed as there was nothing happening. I met a guy there and got talking to him and he too had come to see the display but looked on his partner’s tablet and discovered it had been cancelled until next year. Would have been good day for it too, as only light breeze and excellent visibility.
Be nice wouldn’t it Oxcart? I was in touch with a South African guy living in London about 20 years ago who wanted to do something like that. Lost touch and can’t remember his name now, wonder if he ever made a start on it.
Yes I for one like to see what has been dug up and have participated in a few digs myself many years ago. I always liked the few pages Flypast used to dedicate to aircraft archaeology when they first started. I still miss those pages even now, so as they are not printing it in the mag it is great to see stuff on here.
Thanks for the reply, I’ve got relatives that direction, but sadly all of the older ones of that era are now gone, will have to ask cousins if they know anything.
There was the Howard 500 that was at Shobdon many years ago, which I believe went to Baker Oils. It was a Lockheed derivative. I know it’s American but used in Britain so does that count?
