    That would be a BMI flight then? Is bimble what you do when you fly BMI?

    Never thought of that !
    Actually, just going to go up in a light aircraft.

    I guess the relatively smaller field sizes and amount of arable grown in the SW didn’t make it as viable as in the E and NE.

    Thats what I thought..was surprised that any ag aircraft were down this way.
    Thanks for the replys everyone.
    Does anyone know of any books about Ag flying in the UK.
    I have some that were written by Kiwi pilots who spent seasons over here but there doesn’t seem to be any books on the scope of UK flying.

    Thanks everyone for the replies – much appreciated!

    Newforest – by an amazing coincidence I had ordered that particular copy this morning – it was the cheapest one on abebooks – won’t go to the pub for a few nights!

    Hope to head up that way at the end of the week [yeah – I have seen the weather] for a bimble around and wanted to take some history to read…

    Cheers

    Thanks Weatherman – appreciate your postings on this and other forums.
    Feel that anyone who has a basic understanding of the UK weather system can use them for forward planning.

    Thanks for all the replies – very interesting.
    For a while they appeared in almost every issue if Aeroplane at the time and seem to recall that she did very little flying herself.
    Anyway thanks again.

    Further to Ant’s posting its interesting to note that the first B-29 group mounted some very long range missions from their bases in India, eg to Singapore and Palembang before they went to China.
    Missions from there were to targets like Mukden & Formosa.
    It’s a tribute to the crews of these early B-29s that were the frontline of technology at the time that they achieved the results they did given the primitive conditions of their bases in the CBI. When they were in China all suppport had to be flown in over the “Hump”.
