Remember the year it came to Farnborough? When they went to move it from static display so the airshow could start they used a BA tug. It was powerful enough but the reinforced tow bar wasn’t so they had to start up its engines and taxi it to the far side. There was that classic press photo of it coming to land over the ‘Swan’ pub with the patrons watching, pint in hand!

Evening bump.

You can park in the long lay-by opposite the Flight Tavern, then walk up to the fencing by the 08 threshold. If the a/c are landing this end you can see them coming for several miles. You cannot park your car on the verges since 9/11. The police will come and move you on. Nowhere useful at the other end.

Bump for evening viewers.

Lancaster. I knew 3 men who crewed them during the war.

I can picture Mark 12 dragging that through LHR customs only to meet Steve Patterson dragging a Hurricane the other way. 😀
Seriously Crystal Lakes, thanks for the pics.
