Happy Birthday mate! see you soon.

I agree! Nice line up of AVRO aeroplanes. Could be a special interest day/weekend.

Get as many AVRO types together?

Before they get put n the big tomb! 😡

York and Lancaster is already so! Don’t know how long for. I will post some pictures later. 🙂

Spitfire ML407 “OU-V” was bought by Nick Grace at auction from the Strathallan collection

Not actually true Dave, as I’m afraid is the comment regarding the Firefly cockpits. The following comment is from ML407’s current owner who has asked me to set the record strait:

“A bit of creative licence by the perfect lady makers claimed this, but in reality Nick bought ML407 some time prior to the auction via an add in the paper. The Firefly cockpits and indeed the Firefly he brought was not brought at any auction either but privately with Sir William.”

Thanks Nick. I could not find the link earlier.

…. if you count the so called flight line walk–where invariably you can look at aircraft surrounded by ‘press’–that in the real world are groups of people who haven’t written an article in their lives but enjoy a free pass.

To be fair to Duxford mate, the press office have cut back the number of press passes, so there should be less “wandering” around the aircraft. There may be other measures still to follow, which will aid the paying customer to get a clean view. They are aware of the problem, and are working on solutions. 🙂
