fair comment,

last film i saw

no laughing now we viewed latest Harry Potter offering , exellent film .alas the vue cinema had allowed a crowd of young nerds into the screening and they just caused mayhem, vue did little to stop them so i complained and recieved four free tickets as compensation , so i suppose they did us a sort of favour although why they paid out five pounds a head to go in and let hell go is beyond me ,or maybe im not hip ,or thick !!

NX611 to flight

hey thats a really good initiative get on to your local euro mp and make him earn his 5o grand a year, and it might just come off,seriously the EEc should be prepared to fund such programmes after all their coffers are overflowing

its the highest airport in europe its always good for fog up there ,i live on the flightpath so there arent that many days when the cloudbase is really high,it was great when concorde used to visit she flew quite low over us and the noise was pure exellence, ive also seen a JU52 ,several dakotas and spitfires plus a mustang over the years,we also get a hercules quite regularly doing approaches which is really good and the odd jaguar too

[nice if some aircraft group could recover it eh,i knew a chap who worked on the bristol air freighter production .he reckoned they were very well constructed .over engineered was his expression

XH558 what next

it would be nice to see another classic aircraft hit the skyways as it were ,personally id like to see NX611 at east kirby getting her wings again,the airframe is in superb conditionas are the engines etc ,the main advantage of this would be to give PA474 some respite, and indeed NX611 did give up some spares to 474 when the latter was gate guardian at Scampton, having said that the chances of a privately owned bomber obtaining a Cof A are distant but the idea should be given consideration if NX611 is kept in her present condition which im sure she will be, in my opinion this aircraft represents the only viable option but this is my opinion

This is just an experiment on my part. If I remember correctly I could not get far enough back to get the whole thing in the viewfinder so I took two photos of each view with a good bit of overlap. I scanned the negatives and stitched them together in a panorama maker which is why they are a bit cropped at the top and bottom. I haven’t taken out any of the blemishes or dust spots before any body points them out.

hi great photos of the beverley ,it was an appalling decsion to scrap the aircraft and rob the aviation world of this truly classic air transport but at least she lives on in the photos great stuff
