    I bet that looks a lot worse from the ground than it did out of the front of his aeroplane, great pic though.

    “Team Guinot also did not make it, the girls were going to come by car and Vic Norman and one of the other display pilots fly in the pair of Stearmans.”

    I have decided that as it is colder today that I will keep my gloves warm in front of the fire in the canteen just incase the TEAM Guinot girls need anyhting warmed up if the fly today !

    Hang on,,, I got a better idea, I will keep my hands warm just in case:dev2:

    Only see one aircraft all day yesterday a Sukhoi i think gingerly folowing the river to the show and then back again I bet his view was straight down and nothing forward.

    HE111 Purfleet reach, we went down on it around 1977/78 complete at the time and nose pointing towards London so could have a full load.

    B17 P109 Southend just north of shipping lane, also went on that one in about 78, Larry Russel, Ball Turret Gunner met him in 1978 when he came over.

    Halifax off Maldon ish,

    HE111 Harwich, went on the dig, Andy (TANGMERE) will be able to help on this one.

    Well after great thought I sold it to fund another project, but it went way under what I wanted so its a bargain, I was offed that price just for the seat but there ya go.

    49 watchers, only 3 bidders.
    I would of put a reserve on it and if it sold it sold.

    The new project is still missing the cash so I will be flogging lots more very soon.
