Just a foot note here, The Thameside Aviation Museum only held the wings in store at the fort before they moved off to Redhill. I think we held them for around 8 years.

I had left the keys with Rob Pauldings wife at Biggin as she was pregnant and I said if u need to have a sleep use the car, Rob drove back to DX then I took Gary home and Rob back to mine to pick his car up, the funny thing was my ex wife was pregnant too at the time with my youngest and had banned me from flying that weekend but Gary said he would get me back ok if she started giving birth !

We had managed to gain quite a bit of hight and gary was very confident tthat we could make it to DX, Norman was flying alongside us for a while with Rob Paulding shotgun with Norman, the other problem was my car was at Biggin and we were diverting to DX and I was more worried about getting the car home than the engine failing and we end up in a field.

Gary has sold the Harvard and as far as I know it is with a new owner in Sussex ish.
Now Gary has a family 2 girls! I would assume family come first but I think he still keeps his hand in with brother John.
We had a chat about 18 months ago at a show in London and flying is no where top of the list.
Oh and as an add on, Gary has a new Album which was No3 in the Indie charts last week this album is called “Jagged” not listened to it myself but my girl friend says it one of his best.

Ah Dizzy what a man, the never ending stories which kept you wanting more.
I remember him alwaya with his flight case open and his maps flapping around, he never seemed to age.
Dizzy was the man who taught Gary Numan how to fy the Harvard, It was Dizzy who flew as Robert Mitchum in the Film “Reunion at Fairborough” in Garys newly aquired G-AZSC in 84.
A master of the DC3 among many others, he flew many of the Aces High aircraft in fim and television roles.

Sorry to hear you have gone Dizzy.

Hi Old Fart, I am the one on the right pointing out s few points to a mate, I applied for a job at the museum in early 1974 but to no avail.
I vivited the museum on numorous occations before and after it had opened it was a very exciting place and I remeber a guy rebuilding a Spitfire in the museum at one time but his name has erased its self from my memory. I will have to seach out some more pictures my father took many at the museum.
