Yes, the sister of a chap I work with now and again said they wanted to run it. What a great shame to close a business
which ran at a profit. Just because it didn’t fit in with their plans.

I believe the Lancaster is also on borrowed time, as they will eventually want to extend the car parking.
Along with shifting the Vulcan.

Where do the aircraft spotters go now ?

Does anyone know if the cafe in the old terminal is still open ?
Drove past yesterday and it looked as if it were closed, it would be a great shame if that’s true as it was always busy.
They also seem to have done something with the adjacent car park, no free parking any more ?

I can answer this one myself:

Had to go into Southend earlier so made a diversion to the Airport.
The cafe closed in May, and the carpark looks as though it can only be accessed via the Hotel entrance.
Maybe for those staying at the hotel, and flying out.

Great shame about the cafe, it was very popular and always busy.

I assume the Lancaster club is still open ?

I wonder how much the postage would be ?

I just hope they don’t claim that the Mosquito shortened the war by x number of weeks/months/etc.
If all of the claims that the war was shortened by a particular series of events, or type of technology were true,
it would have been over in six months.

I have a Facebook account for one reason only. To be able to log onto (mostly news) websites where they need
you to register to be able to post

I have a unique email address and use a pseudonym for this purpose.

Has anyone actually complained, and had a reply ?

Nice pictures.

Do a lot of people get there on the Friday ?

I expect viewing is restricted, with the erecting of marquees etc ?
