I have just read your trip report and seen your pics – what can I say – Im very very Jealous! – and looking outside today and seeing a few puffy white clouds and blue – I want to be up there now!!

you are a very lucky chap indeed.

Oh well – I will have to make do with a trip from EMA to Glasgow in a couple of weeks! not the same as a nice trip in a rather older boeing I was lucky to have last october.

Regarding the Brietling team – have I missed something? I heard that OFMC were talking of a hunter display team as a replacement to the fighters – but Brietling have just launched the L39(?) team – is this instead of the hunters?

There does not seem to be any connection between the new team and the OMFC

Standing at BHX yesterday I was amazed by all the people watching – not just ‘spotters’ but business bods as well! – and then there were all the yellow jackets airside – never seen so many!

My friend summed it up when concorde was waiting in the queue to take off – there was a ‘my travel light’ airbus in front – He said the two aircraft were generations apart in time, technology and purpose – but the wrong way round!.

And they call it progress!! – but as always, it all comes down to money!

Im glad that in its final week flying I have been able to witness the sheer beauty of Concorde – up where she belongs – and what a take off it was!! – something to remember and tell the children about in a few years time.

I was at Wymeswold a couple of years ago doing some trials and all the runways still exist. Someone told me that there were plans to restore the tower (to be used for training) but nothing seems to have happened since.

I have a friend who used to work at Fields there – I will ask them if they have any photos/info.

I live close too – infact looking out my back bedroom window I can see the water tower on the horizon!!

The best place near Toronto would have to be Canadian Warplane Heritage at Hamilton – about 2 hours drive from Toronto City. That is as near as you can get to a ‘Duxford’
