Yep
Off to beat myself severely
All I can say is, it was one of those weekends. Lets hope we dont have another one.
Bad News
According to the BBC, the pilot has died.
Tragic
Thanks Moggy
Just of to Florida to have a word with Mr Weeks about a Lysander 😀
See you in a couple of weeks (no pun intended) with loads of photos hopefully.
Well I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I though the RAF element giving their forst displays of the year were excellent, particularly the Hawk who was messed around a bit by ATC with height clearances.
I finally got to see the Guvnor performing a P-47 display and wery good it was too (anyone know why he had to land early and go again).
As for the two Sukhois, well I was left speachless.
Cant wait for July.

eeeeeeuuuuggghhhh stewed tea.
Ok then
Lunch is a Pasty, two sausage rolls and a few token bits of fruit. With a big flask of hot water to make tea.
Camera will be the trusty D60 with the 100-400IS and a 28-80 with a 75-300 as backup. 2 512MB flash cards and a spare set of batteries.
Most important are my ear plugs, because even though I am at Dixford and she is a Abingdon, I just cant risk being able to hear her band playing 😀
Weather looks good, so bring it on.

I dunno what its called but on a bad day it can sound like an elephants phart.
You will understand now why I am going to Duxford. 😀

I didnt book them I just married one of them 😀
Mrs Fence knows better than to intrude upon the graceful concerto of a Merlin. I dont think she knows how loud a Hunter is though.
And when did Mr Keeks “Steal” any of our aircraft. I will be the first to admit that I disagree with what he has done with some of them after he has got hold of them. But he paid for them and he is entitled to do with them as he sees fit.
At the end of the day the Warbird Community would be a poorer place without the likes of KW.
When did the OFMC go bankrupt??
Thanks for the update, sounds like a nice gentle start to the season.
Excuse my ignorance but who or what are the Matadors.

PS Anyone seen the Monty Python sketch about the joke that if you hear one word of it, it can kill you? Same thing but with music. 😀
Abingdon will also feature my wife playing in the Abingdon Town Band.
I however shall be at Duxford.
