Old airport Cafe , Alas yes the airport decided to shut it as its not core business even though its was make money, somebody did try and try it on but run it to bureaucracy. The Lancaster restaurant by the Vulcan is still open and serve good food…

Whilst flying over foulness about 10 yrs back i noted the collection which was located at the far end of Island.
Since then it has moved on. Last i heard the owner was trying to do a deal with the museum at Benwaters.
But i believe the collection may actually now be stored in one of the former HAS shelters on Bentwaters.

Did Kim,s dad also work for Nigel i think he was called Roy ???
Roy came to work for Routair and used to tell stories about Nigel.

Nigel had a house at Milden with a small airstrip by the side. He apparently landed one of the Daks there.
Another day Nigel was doing some flying around in his Gyrocopter there was a Orchard in the Garden and Nigel went between the tree,s and then hit a tree, apparently they found Nigel a little shaken but the gyro totally destroyed.

Brian Sims is still around local LAA(PFA) inspector.
Morris Jackson built a Rans S7 but sold it on as his health was fading , i think he,s still about.

Also was,nt one of the engineers Peter Hamilton. I saw him working on one of the 748,s at Southend late last year.

I live nearby and heard that they had stopped doing anything to her, as the owners where trying to pay..But this was only a temporary reprive and work would start again if they did not pay up….

All i can suggest that you all e-mail the airport director at
Email: [email]enquiries@southendairport.com[/email]
Making a complaint about the way they are treating the parking of the Belfast, at one time the parking charge was not much but since the airport has a new airport director (ex BAA) they have raised the charges considerably to an extent that the airline cannot afford to pay…

Well things change.

A second prop went on her today…..
