These pics are fantastic! keep them coming!
Just noticed one of the SallyB flying shots must have been taken a while later to the rest of them as she is sporting a set of rear guns!
Don Bullock’s Invader brings back some memories – that was one of the first aircraft that got me into warbirds when I was about 9 yrs old. I remember it being imaculate.
great shot Mark12 – Please tell where and when?
is that the Leicester based or the DX example?
any info on the tour once its in Aus?
Marry her TT !
I visited Palm Springs in February – great docents (guides) – chatted for ages to a vetran B17 pilot and his wife. Miss Angela is in great condition even has carpet in the cockpit!, and a very interesting ‘air stair’ rear entry door.
They also had a DC3 which looked like it had seen better days but IIRC was due to fly to chino at the time for some work.
Chino’s flying wing was also visiting when I was there.
Is that really G-FIRE??
I have some more pics of the place if anyone is interested.
…….On another note, if I hadn’t had visited Palm Springs museum my other half would not have applied for a job (unfortunately unlike Mrs TT she doesn’t like planes – so she sat in the car doing a job application!) which she got and we are now here ‘down under’… the rest is history!
Yes – Welcome to the forum! – thats one place on my visiting list soon I hope! Coming from the UK I think we can get spoilt with all the spits and P51’s flying around! – but as I generally prefer things with more than one engine anyhow (personal trait!) – I am really looking forward to seeing a Hudson fly!
fantastic pics! – but go easy on your ears! – you only get one set!!
fantastic pics – wish I could have seen that! – after all I did see hee land there!
fair amount!! – there is a ton of info there! – Il enjoy looking through it! cheers
You hear the damn radials and rush outside to see something cool and all it is a Yak..
Ha Ha……..my thoughts exactly – I keep doing this everyday or so as Im living under the flightpath of Moorabbin! but then any round engine is almost worth looking at! 🙂
PS Weather here is pefect for a winter! – Sun sun and more sun!- been here a month and its rained on 2 days!
PPS – Wot toys have you got up in the sticky north to have a looksy at?? 🙂

looks like a great place so far and the weather is good for the middle of winter!
