    Spotted passing Gunby Hall & Gardens, E. Lincs 2:40pm 3 x VC10…..took me by surprise…and certainly made me put my hedgetrimmer down sharpish and rush round the end of the Hall a bit quick to see them away towards Skegness…..

    …and just as we were leaving, at 4:52pm, Catalina G-PBYA cruised slowly by routing South…looked really gorgeous in the lovely late afternoon sunshine.:)

    I am always pleased to see this thread bounce back…as it seems to from time to time.:)

    Wrecks & Relics 21st edition list G-AHCK as being at Scarborough having moved from Thwing.

    It would be interesting to find out current status.

    I recall G-APAF TW511 during its days with Jack Allen at Skegness Aerodrome.

    Has anyone got the book written yet on The Auster and Seaside Pleasure Flights.?? “Look Dad it’s got zip fasteners”.

    Would have loved to have spotted this one en route.

    I do remember seeing a Casa 352? years ago, 1980s??, routing North just inland from the Lincolnshire coast, passing over Mumby, E Lincs. It was in German military scheme. I have a feeling it was late August or Sept…but don’t recall the year.:confused:
    It was certainly a surprise sighting and in those pre internet days I still have no idea which one it would have been and where from/to….although some years later I did find an entry in a magazine of one such arriving at Newcastle.? on ferry with oil problem on an engine…..??
