Soft field departure big tyres and 270 HP coped well. Met the dawg at Southport and meandered around for a few shots. hope to get some of the Dornier from D-DAWG in due course.

Yes spoke to train manager and the CAA at Manchester about 500 foot rule before trying it but missed filming the train where we wanted and caught up with it at Chirk. Had to fly higher and without professional film camera it looks and feels a bit distant. Stills a better call when chasing a train as one can zoom in and up shutter speeds etc. lastly, not all train enthusiasts welcome a Dornier floating alongside!

Not that we are aware of, recovered some parts from Norfolk this year, see above. Had a long chat with Roger and get the feeling that the issue of FHs theft was complicated by other matters. Would love to get hold of a spare engine and prop so if anyone knows of one send us a pm.

Will come across at some point. I like the coast of Norfolk and Suffolk great beaches and even the fens and great drain have a certain charm but you have to keep an eye out for birds and cables if at 500 feet.

Hi Tony have loosely followed changes via HAA but hope that common sense will prevail. To us it seems daft that younger ex mil jets can fly around the UK on a permit yet the D27, an orphan type, is still required to get a C of A. As it happens the Dornier in good shape after a wing re build at St Athan and a relatively young engine.
