Yes, I saw that ‘individual’ still on his ladder at 19.00hrs when I went up the lane.
I noticed too that he had a high-viz on with something about a French airshow and airport printed on it.
I believe he’d been there since quite early in the morning too.

Looks like a professional free-loader to me.

what is the truth with these two planes please

What do you mean by this?

The two aeroplanes were built by The Vintage Aviator Ltd in New Zealand and are destined for The Royal Air Force Museum at hendon.
Just for a short while they are being flown at a couple of airshows after being assenbled at Old Warden.
Today at Old Warden and next weekend at Duxford.

Well I’ve got nothing against him.
If I’d seen him, I’d have said hello.
I met Jean DeMarco the other day and he seemed like a nice chap.
As I’ve always said, if you wait long enough on the hallowed turf of Old Warden the whole aviation World will come and meet you.

The weather forecast is good, it’s warming up.
Sunday might be a very special day.
See you there.

Shame as I’m planning on going tomorrow 🙁

Well I didn’t see him.
He didn’t penetrate the dark reaches of the back of hangar 5.
What time was he there?

Tomorrow might be a wise choice……….;);)

The Sun may even shine.

Saw it back then.
Often wondered about it and still enjoyed it tonight.
Brilliant–Thanks.

Prints??–My dear boy.
You should know by now that the digital age is still something largely for the future in rural Bedfordshire..!
I’ll PM you.

Lovely stuff.
The gentleman (I use the word in it’s most loose connotation) on the Locomobile is my mate Stuart Grey.
Would it be possible to have a print of this picture for the vehicle section mess room wall?

Yes, please do attend.
It’s not been the best of years but the old place as ever, is still in there fighting.
yesterday was better, it was still too windy though, and sadly, that curtailled rather too much of the flying programme.
However, there’s always something to see at Old Warden for the mechanical/historical cognoscenti, either on the ground or in the air.

The vehicle section volunteers made a huge effort yesterday (I’m somewhat biased here) and got out some incredibly rare vehicles and ran them for the first time this season (the ground has been too soft for much before) and they made a fine sight.

The on loan Great War aeroplanes are an additional reason to attend.
I also thought the old place looked grand yesterday, and despite the wind, people seemed to be enjoying a day in the Sun.

See you there.

Andy.

‘gullable’

Is that something to do with (or an act upon) a form of marine avian wildlife??

Kev.
Like you I find the ongoing sabre rattling rather sad.
However, as I said, as ever I try to separate in my mind the actions of Governments from the actions of ordinary folk.
Although that isn’t always easy. The media love to talk about ‘the French’, ‘The Germans’, or in this case ‘The Argentinians’–all as if they’re a sort of homogenous lump. Looking at our own society, I doubt that state of affairs exists.
Now, every man/woman has a choice, and I suppose the Argentinian soldiers could have mutinied ‘en masse’, but I find it hard to blame the ordinary soldiers (many of whom were young conscripts) for the events of thirty years ago–many of whom no doubt are members of veteran organisations.
As to the current vandalism, whoever carried it out, I condemn them.
