So, hopefully the Cornish sun will shine and it’ll be a good day!

Thanks for that. I almost fell off my chair.

Seriously, I hope that those attending have a great day – once again I’ll be 700 miles away from my local airshow.:mad:

It does look like a Series I Halifax, despite the total absence of frontal glazing. I’m sure Cees would be able to assist.

Lindy’s Lad, according to this there should be a few bits and bobs coming up for disposal soon.

750 Sqn are still operating Jetstream T2 with Astazou out of Culdrose. Might be worth dropping the PR person a letter or giving them a bell?

The technology certainly exists, and has been used effectively in a military application in recent times.

(Other than that, I’m not at liberty to say.);)

Whilst I believe Lindy is in private ownership, they’re both on the same airfield.:diablo:

If you enjoyed ‘Enemy At The Gates’, may I suggest you look out for ‘Stalingrad’?

A rather gritty look at the battles from a German perspective. One of my favouries, along with ‘Cross Of Iron’.

Apart from ‘Appointment In London’, I can’t think of a decent aviation-related war film that I like – perhaps I’m a stickler for accuracy? Like an earlier poster, I find myself skipping the pointless bits of ‘Flight Of The Intruder’. The flying scenes are really quite entertaining, despite some continuity howlers and inaccuracies.

I never really ‘got’ ‘Apocalypse Now’, (referred to as ‘Apocalype When?’ in production) until I saw the redux version which puts back in place many of the scenes which gave the plot a bit more sense.
