You’ll have to fight me for it. Lockblades or brass knuckles? :diablo:
Now, Section Officer Harvey? Kylie, Anna Ryder Richardson, Vicki Butler-Henderson, Uma Thurman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Janie?
Sounds like we need some screen tests in my office. Anybody got six suspender belts to lend me?

Moggy I accept your challenge and choose balloons and blunderbuss’s al’ a’ “magnificent men in their flying machines” seems appropriate to me. If Susannah’s not available I’ll have that Lisa Rogers off that Scrapheap Challenge program…that somehow seems appropriate to. 😀 😀

I have another one the “Tiger Moth” opposite Rochester airfield, it has a selection of prints on the walls of various Shorts made aeroplanes, and does normal type pub food. Getting back to the Jackdaw, the nearest airfields I know of are Rochester, about 40 miles away. Headcorn, about 40 miles away, or Manston about 20 miles away, not very helpful I know. However the postcode for the Jackdaw is CT4 6QZ, so now you all know where it is, someone may know of a airstrip a bit nearer.

I have been to the white hart and they do a great Sunday dinner, I found the place to be very atmospheric, as for the spitfire pub at West Malling I haven’t been in it, as when it opened, it was at the expense of the startled saint just down the road, a pub that Guy Gibson use to drink in, owned by the same company I seem to recall, and is now, I think, a house. So Shepherd Neame can stick the new one. As for “The Jackdaw” fantastic place best ham egg and chips I have ever had, it has changed since 1969, but mrs Dezz and I did sit in the same place as Colin Harvey and his Mrs did in the film. If you are going down to Hawkinge do make sure you visit the Cat And Custard Pot as it was the airfields “local” the only other aviation pubs I can think of around this way are ”The Battle Of Britain” just the name, in Gravesend…been a long time since I have been there so I cant comment, the “inn on the lake” at Shorne, Gravesend airfield’s old local, its now a hotel and not much of the original place left I think. Lastly “The Concord” in Rainham again Just a name, and from what I have heard don’t go there if you want to keep all your teeth. 😀 😀
Apic of the jackdaw to wet your appetite’s………

next time anyone comes across a stroppy granny in the super market, drop a few extra items in her trolley when she’s not looking, then follow the old bat to the checkout, and watch her get all confused and embarssed at big pack of ribbed condoms and bottle of gin she swears she dident want, whilst you look on with the same descusted look she gave you when you dident jump out the way for her.
it’s great…..trust me
Just out of interest.. for the uneducated amongst us, i.e. ..me….how much does a gallon of 100LL cost in $$ or ££ ?

It’s great that you could fly in and give support to Rochester airfield, its still under threat from greedy developers I believe, I didn’t get any piccies of the yaks, due to failing battery power (poxxy sony camera…well it is 4 years old, been thinking of updating it for a Panasonic DMCFZ10 thing, as a cannon “dogs dangles” or what ever it is, is way to expensive and coming from the “point and click” school of photography would be wasted on me anyway…) I don’t know what one you were in, but the black yak looks really cool, the other one looks very smart as well, good to see you.

The lighting does, indeed, look very good. Considering the state it was in when it arrived, saved from the scrap man I think, and in a right mess, the team really have done a excellent job on her, I don’t know if its still going “on the gate” at up at GEC but if they stick it up on a pole, I will be first up there with a big hack-saw and a fork-lift!, and push it into the little QRA type shed they have had made for that mi24 piece of $hit 😉

It does seem to get better every year and may it continue to for many years to come. One of my earliest memories of a airshow is from Rochester, I remember a aeroplane flying very low and fast across the field, and my farther saying that’s a spitfire. now I Couldn’t tell you whether it was a spitfire or a microlight!…but what ever it was it got me hooked…strange the things that stick in your mind when your 6 or 7 aint it….. anyway did you say mustang………..
That’s amazing but, and I know its not a aviation related, but this guy has to be the king model maker dude, if only I had the time and more importantly the talent. Id have my little real Merlin in the front of my little real hurricane. Mind you if you go to all this trouble why not build a 1:1 size one? At least you could drive it around.

It was good to see so many people from the forum there, sorry mrs dezz and I only had time to say a quick hello at the start, I’m sure we saw Mr & Mrs EN830 in the pub the night before though, however…I am confused as to the whereabouts of the TSR2, where has it gone, did anyone see??? :confused:
Dezz 🙂
many happy returns snapper.
Dezz & mrs Dezz
I didn’t know the RAF used Darlek’s as front gunners on Lancaster’s, and the roundels look all wrong! I hope they can get it sorted!!

She was, for a while, kept at Chatham dockyard, when Edward Hutton (spelling ?) owned her, 1986 I think, I can remember seeing her taxi up and down the river Medway, as well as flying at West Malling.. fantastic !!
