Great idea. Better still with a Typhoon on each wingtip and to cap it all a live firing exercise.

Thanks for the “heads-up” Propstrike, just my cup of tea.

I was lucky enough to get Swanton Morley in my logbook back in June 1982. I flew up from Denham in our group owned Cessna 172 G-AZJV and was surprised at the reaction from the Norwich and Norfolk Aero Club members who hadn’t expected flyers from “so far away”. It was all of 1.2 hours flying but we were made very welcome all the same. Thank you to the original poster for the nostalgic photos.

Doubtless you’ve looked at G-INFO which shows it being owned by Peter Meyrick from Nantwich. The Permit is valid till 4/7/15 so it’s obviously active. There are some photos on G-INFO which might help you to recognise the airfield where it’s based.

Scotavia, you have a PM.

Great shots, both of the aircraft and the Northern Lights. At the risk of thread drift, I was lucky enough to see them on the way home from London one evening. I thought at first Biggleswade was on fire (good thing/bad thing?) but it proved to be the Lights. The final flourish looked like a celestial Japanese flag. Amazing sight.

Well I suppose that’s what you get if you spend North Sea oil money wisely! An excellent report but I think the Beaver is actually an Otter(?)

I think “Flapjack” is trying to sell Miss Demeanour !
