Which would be a good reason to be elsewhere?

Thts a good point 😀

Well if you had done a tour of Suffolk, Bawdsey Radar ( don’t forget Shingle Street), Debach (from a distance) Orford Ness (c/w pubs), Martelsham for archeology, Bentwaters and Woodbridge from the fence, on return. Then through Essex and take your pick, Earls Colne with an O/S map? Or venture further a field to Bungay (or Hardwick??) or Norwich airport, sunshine everywhere today 🙂 . Even the railway and a cycle would have produced results (Pen Pusher?)

Not here from about lunchtime the clouds came in and weve had raing 🙁

Well what a day we had. I dont think us lot stopped!

Eric brown’s talk was astonishing i think we could of all sat there till the early hours listening to him.
Sadly the brakes went wrong on the day and we couldn’t taxi or fly so its back to the hangar for 507 where she will be sorted out and hopefully a test flight can happen in the coming weeks. Nether the less we battled on and made the best of what we could with 2 engine runs.

Sadly i didnt have time to get any photos as i was busy but hopefully some of you did, unfortunately i saw the camera pointing at me a few times :S haha. Some nice shots are on UKAR already!

Dont forget the photographic completion for 2009, your photo doesn’t necessarily have to be taken in the air so last night was a good opportunity.

A big thanks to everyone who came and supported us and donated money to help keep this lovely aircraft flying. And a big thanks to eric! who seems very agile at a grand old age of 90

Next display is at Abingdon on the 3rd of may
See you there!

Just thought I would add the following from our local rag….

Firefighters and paramedics were scrambled to North Weald yesterday after a WW2 fighter plane crash landed. The Hawker Hurricane appeared to stall on touchdown sending the planes nose crashing into the ground and flipping its tail section into the air. The pilot emerged from the wreckage unscathed.

Gordonbennet! talk about beefing the story up.

Great jounalism ‘Harlow Star’ :rolleyes:
