Civil scheme sounds attractive,is RM221 based at Biggin still flying in Mil markings?

Thank you Brian, a very inspiring report which shows how being 92 can be positive.

The weather in this area of NE Scotland was awful at the time of the flight, I wonder if it was an IFR flight and the descent was just too early because they crashed on the last high ground before the flatter area around the river and airport.? A great pity.

Thanks Stephen for highlighting a fascinating museum,I will make a point of calling in if I decide to drive South later this year.

The article is very good and the single full page John Dibbs image of the Gladiator is one occasion when using the word awesome is correct.

Creaking door highlights a thread of logic seldom mentioned. War by its very method creates injury ,death and destruction.The means to bring about that have varied over hundreds of years. A declared war is actually a failure by the potential adversaries to fully explore the alternatives or a failure to comprehend the cost in human and monetary terms of going to war in the hope that winning would be better than a situation being possibly improved by peaceful methods.
Caught up in the war are civilians and serving men and women who battle to just cope with the huge stress a war unleashes.

I enjoyed this account of the night shoot,having the Mosquito shown was also a good move..
