Would love to have done, but my ‘day job’ means I have to work that weekend.

Just on the offchance. I suspect this photo also dates from the ‘Bodmin era’. Does it jog any memories with you?

Thanks Martin, look forward to seeing any from that era. Its the bit of the aeroplane’s history I know least about.

Hmmm. Just had the half mill charts out. Already starting to plot a return for G-ASML to Bodmin sometime this summer. Fancy formating in the Cub, Propstrike?

“All right, Master Clarence, you put it up there, you get it down.”

Incidentally, Biggles wasn’t abstemious at all in the original books, and hit the bottle heavily in one of the short stories after losing a friend.

Who is going to post the photo of the BE-2 trying to make a collect call in telegraph wires on the railway?

Glad you brought up point one. I was tempted to, but I would have only been further insulted by TT for being a Biggles anorak or something.

As far as point two goes. OK I can’t resist!

I just like sesquipedalian words! 😀

Does that mean its got one pair of wings bigger than the other?
