I do get rather tired with the “holier than thou” attitude of folk on this forum who always knock the media coverage of an event like this. I thought the piece on “Look East” last night was well-balanced and appropriate for what to the general public is just another old aeroplane. Lighten up folks and be grateful for whatever coverage it gets.

Hope she misses the thunder and lightning show I’ve just driven through on the way back from Duxford. Apparently she’ll be flying on the next two days and Legends obviously.

I agree, it did seem a bit low-key. Heard talk of a departure to Biggin Hill. The support aircraft was an N-reg King Air

Thanks chaps.

At a guess it would have been Nigel Lamb who was in the MX-2 (or MX-S?) and he, of course, is involved with OFMC, operators of MH434. BTW I have an MR-2 in the garage but I wish it was an MX-2.

Air Atlantique’s DC-6 operated from Deenethorpe for a while, when they were rumoured to be looking at the field to house the collection, so it should be good for a B-17. Conington is licesed for 987 meters but there is an overrun which with some determined sweeping could be used to extend it a little.

Well she might not be flying at Legends but she rumbled off to ILA at Berlin at lunchtime today. As I understand it she’s then off to a show in Poland and that’s followed by one in the Czech Republic which sounds like a good use of her airborne hours.
