Smashing photos and thanks for sharing. I really must go soon.

Thanks for compensating amnesia!

[QUOTE=8674planes;2240879]Heres a few pilots that I can remember and the aircraft they flew

Many thanks for providing these, I only managed to note half a dozen or so and I clearly need to improve my memory.

Thanks very much for posting this, I really enjoy these insights. The part where he insisted he called Ray Hanna back was very special.

Hello all,

We’ll another superb two days and we were fairly fortunate today, unless wearing denim!
I think it is best not to reopen the pro’s and con’s of commentators suffice to say I enjoyed Trevor and Pete. One minor gripe is that again they didn’t give the name of most pilots. Perhaps this is deliberate I which case ignore this request but if anybody has any details or link I would really appreciate the insight.

Many thanks

Great Photos Neilly,

Thanks for posting although it makes me wish even more that I had gone! It would be fantastic to see the Firefly as well as the Mossie. Out of interest do you know who flew the latter?

I couldn’t agree more with the previous comment that this makes the perfect Sunday browsing. Blackbushe was the local airfield where my aircraft mad Father (no guesses where I get it from) would take me. At the time I was just as obsessed with getting him to buy me a mars bar, not appreciating the treasures on show as an under 10!

Thanks so much for providing this link and it has stirred many great memories. Now I really need to dig out that slide I have of me standing in front of one of the Sea Fury’s!

Alan,

This is a fabulous collection of photos and especially the historic types. I don’t think I ever got to see RW386 while she was over here (UK) and she looks in great condition. It is lovely to see the B17 and enjoyed her (two?) trips to FL’s.

The last couple of shots of the Pembroke were a pleasure to see how this aircraft is put to good use in civilian hands. Lastly there was the enticing sight of a Skyraider which looked one of the more unusual ‘marks’ or modifications. Hopefully she will be rebuilt, even as static it would be interesting to see her complete and in original markings.

Was this a one off trip to the airshow? it feels like (based on the quality of display items) one that you would recommend if there are more planned.

Thanks for sharing.

This is certainly an announcement that has pleased me immensely and BHHH should be applauded, I’ll certainly be doing so when I go on the 17th . If any of you have not done so I would thoroughly recommend subscribing to their Facebook ‘page’ (probably wrong term but you know what I mean). In their relatively short time of existence all at BHHH have come across as very open in sharing information on their work and wonderful aircraft for which they have my thanks.

In terms of an event at Biggin Hill then hopefully it is a case of ‘from little acorns…’ 🙂

The only problem I have not is that I have to fit this in and a visit to Beachy Head. After last years shots (especially of XH558) I have to witness it myself. As people point out to me though; it’s not a bad problem to have.
