Polly Vacher (HUPW R4118) and also didnt Diana Barnato-Walker fly most of the spitfire marks?
Having said that we didnt think that there would be much chance of a Stuka until Mr Lacey came along. Hats off to the man 😀
Seeing and hearing a Stuka would be an amazing prospect. I would also like to see a me110 but I dont suppose there is much chance of that happening.
Try Brooklands, Old cars and planes. Always been very accomidating when I have visited. Lovely atmosphere. http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/
Where are the airframes now? I have seen less than that fly. Its amazing.

Vigilant Motor Glider (Grob 109b if confused) 🙂
This is my favourite story of the whole war.

In the Film the co-pilot shoots a ‘109’ down which slices another B17 (poss Mother and Country) in half. Did this happen or is it Hollywood?
Thanks,

I would definately have to recommend the Air Cadets. Loads of free flying esp if you become a staff cadet at a VGS like me. I am fairly sure there is one in N.I.

No, I can’t. “The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.” Sorry not to be of assistance.
for BBMF you tend to need to be on annual ATC/CCF camp. still probably worth a shot because it (like most things with historic) aircraft is awesome. 🙂
As I understand it the owner and a few others spent a hell of alot of time and effort looking for an original prop but for whatever reason it could not be sourced or used etc. The original was too badly corroded.
Same thing, cant see anything and it sounds fascinating. Any help please?
Thanks
This year the B-52 flew all the way from the USA to display at Farnborough but unfortunately flew to Blackbushe by accident and displayed there instead. They even have dedicated navigators on board.
