Lowestoft 2011 Thursday

Not a bad show except the weather was a bit iffy and resulted in a few displays being cancelled.. The ones that did show were good 4 pictures below 3 of the reds and 1 of the new colours of a BBMF Spitfire ( at least new to me)

Not my best ever but a nice reminder of the day

a mess steward at Biggin Hill

was in fact a mess steward here at Martlesham Heath

Hi Gary I am the Tarkey refered to by the EH team. I spoke to you and asked about coming down to our do at Martlesham Heath on the 11th September

have a look at opur web page http://www.mhas.org.uk and you can also click on the facebook link to see the dedicated page to our open day. We have just confirmed a Mustang Cockpit for the day as well. You might also see me as a USAAF Major in the 356th FG based here at MH during WW2

Nice stuff Brian Interesting your comments about the anti shake setting

Great Shots I couldnt be there but at least i can see some action many thanks

help needed

the picture below was given to me by the son of a P51 pilot at Martlesham Heath in WW2. The pilot took the photograph and it shows P51s of the Leiston Group escorting a B17 with a Boxed G on the tail. The countryside below is Saxsted near framlingham in Suffolk. I cannot find any trace of a boxed G

any ideas please

I had a chuckle to myself over this.

The older memers amongst us might remember in the 50s and 60 there was a boys comic called The Lion and one of the regulare characters was a Paddy Payne, Battle of Britain Pilot. MY childhood hero character.
