    George Bush Senior?? Although thinking about it, didn’t he fly TBM Avengers??

    In the Far East I believe, where he had to come down in the water. There is a film clip of him being rescued by a submarine.
    I expect most of you will have seen this ? :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcdU–kqTb4

    “…The reason is London is still the major tourist destination for most people coming to UK, thus Hendon is going nowhere…”

    I doubt that not too many visitors to London from overseas, make the effort to visit Hendon ?

    Regarding the P-47. Why does it sound like a bucket full of nuts and bolts in a tumble dryer when it starts up ?

    This fella held up proceedings on Friday. The Curtis team had to delay their practice, until it decided to fly away.
    (Sorry about the quality)

    I doubt they have any way of knowing, unless a family member comes forward.

    Not a bad view from the park and ride, although it would have been better from the “Costa” roundabout car park.
    The heat haze made photography a challenge.

    Regarding cafes. Perhaps they could have a soundproof one, where all of the local mums could take their darling
    children. 🙂

    How many took part in the Queen’s Silver Jubilee flypast ?
    —————————————————————–
    Wasn’t over London though was it, it was at RAF Finningley.

    My mistake maybe, it was a big flypast and following the A12 in Essex.. I’m sure it was in the 70’s

    What I hope the video will do, apart from discussions about T-shirts, is to encourage more people to go along to Stow Maries and swell the coffers of what is a very interesting airfield. I went with my car club on a group visit and it is well worth it. The home cooked food in the Airmans Mess is really excellent and there was a lot of it.

    A shame they have restrictions on numbers attending, due to limited parking.
