    Update.

    Today was the final AGM of The Coalhouse Fort Project and charity that has been running the day to day workings and upkeep of Coalhouse Fort. 

     

    Thank you Hawker 1966 for your kind words

    It’s very sad, we have been at the same place since 1984 and getting all the bits together since 1973 with two original members from 73 .

    Age has now caught up with us.

    A lovely story of events and preservation this really needs to be in historic.

    I went in S for Sugar around 1978 at Hendon it had a lasting effect going to every position in this beautiful war machine. At the time we had been working on the preparation of Maffets Hurricane P3175 for display in The Battle of Britain Museum.

    I look forward to one day this summer seeing your S for Sugar cockpit.

    DC4 at North Weald 3rd Jan 2020

    Looks like some polishing been happening of late.  Cannot remember the date the two arrivedays but I take it early 90s , great excitement at the time and the B25 also parked in the same place..

    Lots of memories of the early days of Aces High and the very nice Ray Thomas that always had time for people and then The Squadron with Anthony Hutton, glorious days.

    Let’s hope some start to travel back to this forum in 2020.

    I do think Lawrence that Key will publish some kind of heartfelt apology in the new year once everything that can be sorted is sorted.

    We have lost loto of posters due to the fact their login details have been lost, ie no longer have the old email accounts they joined with along with trying to remember a password you had not used in years if not nearly a couple of decades.

    Historic aviation and preservation have lost out and with all the  80th anniversary dates to come it would be a great shame this could not be celebrated by the many this year for The Few.

    Come on, forget your post counts , really register and start getting back on it.

    Looking forward to 2020 now, don’t look back

    The best to one and all in the next decade.
