Brilliant. Can’t wait to see it for real! Do we have a date for Kemble 2005 yet? Time to start planning next years days out 🙂

Really like the Red Bull scheme, an aircraft’s history does not end when it retires from military service and I see no problem with civil schemes, especially when they are as stunning as this one. Given our often less than stellar summer weather I can see why an operator would want such a scheme, rather than something that simply confirms the effectiveness of mid grey as camouflage in the European theatre. :rolleyes:

Personally I’d be happy to see the Lancaster painted in one of the immediate post war colours, the white upper surfaces would make a change from the usual wartime camouflage. As for commercial sponsors logos on PA474…. well I guess I’d draw the line there!

Start with your local police station, they have all the contacts for this sort of thing.

Years ago I had a summer job as a warden on a nature reserve that had been used for testing ordinance during the war. Bombs and rockets used to turn up on a weekly basis as the wind and tides moved the sand dunes around. 😮 We used to have the number for the navy bomb disposal teams pinned on the notice board by the phone!

Funny they never mentioned this when I went for the interview!! :rolleyes:

What an amazing collection, must admit I didn’t even know it existed!

Thanks for posting them Septic, another place to try and visit one day 🙂

Looks even better from up there (and it looked very good from ground level too! :D)

Thanks for posting them username, here’s a couple of you, watching us, watching you….

Should be there, all being well, cannot imagine this will be the last chance visit for over 6 months 🙁

Hope the forecast picks up though, not looking too good for this weekend at the moment.
