You’re going to get a visit, Mr.P……..;) There’s nowt wrong with MV268 she’s just on her annual. We’ve pulled the carb for a bit of work, which should be completed way before the season begins again.

As Brian’s funeral is taking place today, it might be a suitable time to put aside for now discussion of the possible causes and whether it is justifiable to broadcast images of crash scenes, and pay respect to a well-loved man and respected member of the historic aviation community.

I tried to make a visit in August 1999, and back then the Museum was only open on Thursdays, and not at all during August when the base is closed.

Isn’t there a motorway bridge being built somewhere at the moment….? :rolleyes:

If you can stretch to it, the IS range by Canon are very VERY good. I just splashed out on a set of 18×50’s from ebay. They are normally £700+ retail, so you have to think seriously about them, but with the image stabilisation they will sit rock steady, and I can easily check out liveries of aircraft on airways.

There are lower magnification models available , so you might find something in your budget; if you can afford them, these noccies really are the dogs’ danglies and you’ll never need another pair.

Here’s a pic; Area 51 type security around the shed until it was rolled out….what a load of trouble to go to over a replica…:p
