    I have also reluctantly moved to Flickr, although I can say that I really like it.
    If you are not looking to store images (although I think you can ?) “Postimage” is very simple to use, and good for just posting the odd picture.

    When the Lancaster left Duxford, did it have it’s exhaust shrouds fitted, or was that done back at Coningsby ?

    The BBMF will be at Clacton on the Thursday (1610 – Lanc and 2 x Spitfire)

    I wonder if they will still operate out of Southend, it being a short hop to Clacton. Or they will fly in and out of Conningsby ?
    Which saves on moving ground crews about.

    You should have added some grain to the B/W picture and a bit of vignetting 🙂

    That’s good , as it’s a nice location. Maybe use could be made of the lake, but the fishery people might not like that 🙂 It didn’t seem that well advertised either.
    I do have other pictures, but they are not aviation related.(Then again, this is for general discussion :)) This should be a link to the album I made. Feel free to
    use any pictures.

    That’s a shame, but the most important thing is, nobody was hurt.

    You aren’t the only one to notice this.
    At the moment the BBMF according to their site, are only at Clacton for the Friday. The Clacton website isn’t any clearer.
    They usually do both days and operate out of Southend. You can’t go into ops and enquire, as it’s now airside, and ATC don’t
    have any info as yet.

    As you say, in previous years, their schedule was laid out on what looked like an excel sheet. I did ask on their FB page,
    but without much luck.

    TA805 “The Kent Spitfire” at Maldon on Saturday. It arrived at very short notice, and I didn’t have my big zoom lens with me.

    What a lovely aircraft the DH9 is.

    A nice looking aircraft, the prop diameter looks very small, unless it’s the way the photo was taken ?

    We went to the show yesterday at it’s new location. Numbers seemed to be down a bit, but most of the usual
    exhibitors were there. Including a couple of cockpits and replicas. There was also a very nice display by the
    Kent Spitfire TA805.

    I feel it’s quite sad that it has come to this, after so many of us got so much pleasure from seeing her fly.
    The “Vulcan Effect” certainly increased numbers at airshows. As others have said, XH558 is now just another
    Vulcan to look at on the ground. Would I pay to go and see her ?, probably not. 🙁

    I’m surprised nobody has mentioned this.

    Thanks, I thought it must be something simple 🙂
