    It was Wethersfield 88,we had just moved to Finchingfield,a hot day and a friend of mine from London was helping me wire the boiler,you could see the landing lights from the garden,the Starlifter made a startling appearance over the village while the Phantom circled over my house,my friend and I decided to walk to the airshow,the only time I’ve ever been able to do this,and we did pay to get in.
    Wethersfield is now occupied by the MOD police and is a bit of a sad place although the local ATC still fly gliders at weekends,summer weekends can be a bit hairy with the gliders up,aircraft landing at Stansted and the Duxford warbirds roaring over in transit,last year we watched a spitfire cross only a few hundred feet below a Ryanair 737.

    yes, i still glide out of there beautiful setting never has been any danger when ive flown only to myself 😀

    probably my worst airshow was Biggin Hill 2001, a gathering of Eagles, was the worst 48 hours of my life aviation related. i witnessed 3 seperate incidents that weekend. as a cadet not on duty i decided to help but they wouldnt let methis just after the vampire went spiralling towards the ground. a huge fire ball ensude leaving me and my dad speechless. my dad has witnessed several airshow disasters but none as bad as that as i was close to that end of the runway it felt very close. it brought a tear to my eye. the silence after this was frightening i just stood there for 5 minutes looking at the smoke to scared to do anything. this was a very sad weekend for the warbird community 🙁
