Looking forward to it.
Fingers crossed for the weather.

Alan: Your questions suggest you are a closet urbexer.
I had to look that up 🙂
If I were a bit younger, had the time, and lived closer, maybe.
It’s really to settle a friendly argument with a friend. Regarding whether or not the people who
went on the base were breaking any laws or not.
My argument being, that at worst they would be told to get out. It would be nice to have some
local info.
Yes I saw this. What an absolutely stupid woman. Not only does she show her ignorance by talking on her phone
when someone is trying to serve her, but then goes to the press to tell everyone.
Unbelievable, but not unfortunately, an isolated incidence.

I’d be interested to know what the security level is like at Sculthorpe
(Not that I have any intention of going there)
Going by the pictures in the link of my original post, there seemed to be no problem in them going into
the old buildings and tower.
Is it still patrolled by the MOD police, or (more likely) a civilian security company. Or is it not patrolled ?
The only part with “keep out” signs, seems to be the runway area. Most of the buildings being either
demolished or derelict. Is the industrial area fenced off from the rest of the airfield ?
I have boxes full old programmes in the loft ,just need to dig them out.
I had a clear out a year or two ago. Unfortunately a couple had got damp at some time, and I had to throw them away.
From Bentwaters in the 70s, with Thunderbirds and Blue Angels on the covers. 🙁
I remember one of the first open days I went to, which I think may have been Bentwaters.
Entrance was 2/- (two shillings), including a flying display programme.
Thanks for that.
From the pictures taken last year. I take it that there are no longer any ground facilities still in use ?
It’s only the runway they use ?
Not Mildenhall, Lakenheath, Bentwaters or Alconbury methinks ?
Going purely on the trees and hill they are on. Most UK bases are on pretty flat terrain.
Although I’m not familiar with Upper Heyford.
Woodbridge did have a non-flying open day, back in the 70s (?)
Ah, my mistake 🙂
How many Sea Furys are there flying in the UK ?
It wouldn’t possibly be all that bad if they didn’t put so many repeats on.
I also think, had I could have my way, ban all Soaps, tickles me pink, when a person/actor in a Soap, “Dies” and idiots sent a Condolences card, to the rest of the Cast.
What other Countries pay for a T.V. Licence?.
The Beeb aught to show adverts, and make the revenue for them, cover the amount they make in licence fees from all of us, then it would be free.

I’m glad you didn’t include the Archers (although that is on the radio). My wife never misses an episode 🙂
As far as advertising goes, that has been a big source of income for the BBC for many years. Can you remember
the last time you saw any sort of sporting event on the BBC, which didn’t have corporate advertising ?
This didn’t used to be the case.

I remember talking to one of the German aircrew, at what must have been one of the last Mildenhall Air Fetes.
He was saying that he preferred the Phantom to the Tornado, and they would have kept them in service for
longer if it hadn’t been for the job in getting hold of spares.
It’s just one of those iconic aircraft, which seems to have been around for ever.
Did you go Sur Le Pont ?
