Not too sure about the “salute” in the third picture down. Fine job though.

Every time I fly in to Old Buckenham I can’t help thinking of those young chaps in the B-24s and wondering if they made it back. It’s certainly an airfield with “presence” and is becoming very active again.

Plus the Hawk Speed Six and the other restored Hawk and we’d be getting somewhere!

I’m sure it’s been discussed before but who designed the colour scheme for ” Miss Demeanour”?

Nice shots,pleased to see the sense of humour is still there. I called in to OW for lunch and the centre of attraction was an Army Apache. Looked a bit out of place on OW’s green sward.

27Vet, why do you think the pilot was unconscious? Certainly it looks like a flat spin but that should have been recoverable by a pilot of his calibre. On another site it is claimed he broadcast a “Mayday” which might imply a control failure. I wonder if the chap who was called back by the commentator would have got there before the “fire brigade” and thus been able to assist. Tragic all round and awful publicity for Red Bull shortly before their return to racing.

A quick look at G-INFO shows only 2 Doves with a current C of A in the UK, G-DHDV of Air Atlantique and G-OPLC registered to an address in the IOM. I wonder who is now responsible for the Type Certificate because without that they won’t be able to fly for much longer. They may be able to go on a Permit but Public Transport (pleasure flying) wouldn’t be allowed.

Nice change from the heavy metal…thank you. Slightly disappointed that you didn’t feature the two Airtourers though. We would have been three but one owner got stuck at the back of his hangar and was late arriving.
