    There is a grass strip just South of Paddock Wood. I don’t know its name. I believe a warbird or two have been based there? The road that runs from the village to Wrotham Heath is called Seven Mile lane and it’s about another 3 to Borough Green.

    Are you going to build a hangar in your garden when the Mossie is finished? Or will it dribble fuel on the carpet? 😀

    Tomorrow ( 26th Nov) G-BOAF will leave LHR around 11.20am and fly via one last supersonic dash over the Bay of Biscay to Filton Bristol arr. 1pm approx. It is hoped to perform a fly over of Bristol and the Suspension bridge escorted by the Rolls Royce Spitfire. Sad Day 🙁

    Does that mean the page 3 girls (on their web page) aren’t correctly captioned either? 😀

    Thanks for the correction. I knew somebody with the ‘other’ name and typed it without thinking!
    There were many comments made in the aviation press that the forced landing should have been safely made until he was faced with the occupied runway.

    In the UK we lost Patrick Sergant a couple of years ago. At an airshow in France, trying to land his Spitfire with engine trouble he found the ’emergency’ runway occupied by spectators! Turning away to avoid them he crashed. There was considerable disgust expressed by warbird pilots over it. The highest price.

    Try asking on the Concorde SST forum, there is one section on trip reports. See:- http://pub13.ezboard.com/bconcordesst

    I wasn’t sure about the wooden bench seat though. I suppose you could class it as park(bench) flying? 🙂

    A little off the thread here, but what about AD540 – ‘Blue Peter’ – the Spitfire V dug up a few years ago, near Carsphairn (sp?)?

    I think I read somewhere this was “being rebuilt to fly”, but judging by the remains that were dug up back in (I think back in 1993 or 95), it would be a new-build Spitfire.

    The last time I visited the Dumfries & Galloway Museum several years ago, they were restoring it to static condition off site. I believe it was at a nearby prison. The URL I had for them seems to be ‘dead’ now.
    On the original subject Spitfire, wouldn’t the MOD still own the crash wreckage. They often try to stop the excavation of others sighting this reason.

    I had some ‘trick or treaters’ round LAST Saturday night! The excuse was that they were going away on holiday during half term :confused:

    Looks possible that East Fortune may get a Concorde, one of the non flyers. See:-
