The RAF losses seem to be accurate.

One of the big days of the battle. Several now famous names went down for ever. Several times over this past week I have noted how 2 or 3 pilots from a squadron were killed on the same day. 600 fire engines fighting the fires in London…..

This one would suit the video incident Skybolt recently posted.

NBC in the US got themselves in hot water recently. A couple of reporters bought knives etc and then went to a helicopter hire company to charter one. They got caught. See:- http://www.aero-news.net/news/commbus.cfm?ContentBlockID=90ff2e2a-80b1-42ed-aebc-34b382008127&Dynamic=1

Again I know little about the training, but doing your PPL in California in our Winter sounds good. How many hours of delays due to weather could you avoid?

Thanks for the info YakRider.

Have the Flypast Fly Ins finished now? They used to be around this time of the year. Would also be interested in what access to the airfield by car is these days.

Did you find this info.

Sounds like an extra test for the PPL. Hold the controls rock steady while swatting at least two flies with your rolled up map. 😮

Another page on that site offers flights on ‘one of the last’ DC10 30 to New York.

Nice shots. You weren’t using a pre 1960s camera then!

Are those SAAB Jets privately owned or are they maintained by the Air Force?

The way I read it was that Warbird Adventures had two of their T6s away on a tour but they moved the other two plus helicopter into a large general hangar. The Hurricane didn’t damage it but a tornado followed which tore the front of the hangar wrecking some aircraft. Hope this one stays away altogether.

Nice photos Stieglitz. It looks as if you will be getting ‘Duxford standard’ airshows at Lelystad in future.
