Nice pictures, but the thread title was misleading 🙂

I don’t think anyone has posted this yet ? If they have, here it is again 🙂

Seems like the DM has just got hold of the story.

There used to be more live music at airshows. I remember at Mildenhall when the Syd Lawrence Orchestra were playing in the
opened nose section of a C-5.
Also when an American military marching band, split up and were marching through the crowd going in various directions
without missing a beat.
I believe Carolyn Grace has also flown at an open air concert or two.

~Alan~, if the museum had a pound for every time that comment was made I reckon they’d have enough funds to complete ’Project Panini’ as featured here! 😉

Why not call in next time, I’m sure that you’d be made to feel very welcome. 🙂

Yes must make the effort. It’s a bit too far for a day out, being nearly a 300mile round trip.
We only made our first visit to Elvington last month, can’t rush these things.

A great shame that that highlights of the flying display are no longer shown on TV.
Oh for the days of Raymond Baxter.

Nice pictures 🙂

The point is to train crews who have not done it before.

I wonder what extra training they need to be able to do this ?. Above and beyond landing on any other non-paved surface ?

I suppose it’s a day out at the seaside ? 🙂

Must stop and have a look sometime. We’ve been past the museum countless time, but never had the time to stop.

For anybody that is going to be visiting Coningsby whilst the CWH Lancaster is present you should make note of the following which has just been put out by the local council.
The dates mentioned are the projected ones and are subject to change as per the note that says ‘Restrictions to be implemented as & when required during this period’
Hope this is of some use to those planning to visit so that you don’t get a surprise when you turn up and find that you can’t park next to the airfield, or anywhere within 1/2 a mile for that matter by the looks of it.

I bet the Leagate Inn was fully booked a long time ago ? We stayed there several years ago, not a bad place.

I seem to remember Barnes Wallis saying that he had a basic design for an aircraft, which could fly from the UK to
Australia in four hours.

Then someone has to clean them up afterwards, and wash the salt water off.

I don’t quite see the point, other than to say “we can do it”. Which has already been proved.

Shamefully the IWM have decided to take the line of least resistance and put out a wishy-washy statement ‘prohibiting’ such activity, yet openly admit they will do nothing whatever to actually enforce it.

Quite right. That’s what Janet Gordon, (PA to the Head of Commercial, Visitor Services and Volunteer Development) told me.

There were barriers across the entrance to the seated area, to stop people going in, which were moved so they could get in which they did without permission.

Without wishing to labour the point, it still seemed rather officious. No harm was being done, unless they were worried
about people moving their carefully arranged chairs ?

On Friday, they had set up a seated area for the airshow, where you pay £5 to sit over the weekend.
People were going in there on Friday to get closer to the fence to take photos. The seats were unusable as they were too wet.

Then a couple of jobsworths came along and cleared everyone out. Why for heavens sake ?, totally pointless.
