Well personally I hate seeing dead machines of any sort. It is only when you see a machine doing what it was designed to do that you really get good impression of how its original creators envisaged it being used.

This statement does not only apply to aircraft, but trains, cars etc as well. This is why I give what little money I have free for this type of thing to museums like the Shuttleworth collection where I am fairly certain that they wont spend it on hanging an aircraft from the ceiling of a flash new hanger, but on keeping rare machines operational.

You could go to the Chequers in Fowlmere for Saturday night. Every time I have been the food has been fantastic.
Not sure what to suggest for Sunday. There is lots to see in Cambridge if you have not been before. You also may want to visit the American War cemetary at Madingley which is very moving.

Great pictures :). I think you must have been standing within a few feet of me!

I asked when we went to the forum evening, and was told that basically as long as there is a will to keep it flying, it will.
