Could it be Duxford from the south side of the runway looking west? I’ve never been there but thought it might look a bit like that.

I see your point but I don’t think so. I went around there a couple of times in the early eighties when they were charging entrance by the car and I was on my own.
I hesitate to say definitely not but the foreground trees don’t look right and the background trees look a bit too close, although that could be a telephoto lens effect. I was going to say the parked aircraft were too close to the western end as well but I think I do remember aeroplanes there in the past.

When I started typing this I was pretty certain it wasn’t Duxford, now I’m not so sure, I’ve just talked myself out of it. 🙂

As Moggy said, a feeling of utter helplessness.

Having no children myself, I can’t begin to imagine what Dan and his family and friends are going through.

Desperately sorry.

I can’t see that picture being taken in Matlock. There aren’t any cooling towers within about 30 miles.

Thanks for posting those Lynn.
As you said, compared to the rest of the destruction this doesn’t really matter.

Bent and battered but not destroyed looks a reasonable summary.

AFAIK, we’ve only had one hurricane in the UK in living memory, which I managed to sleep through, and the devastation was staggering. I suspect that was a strong breeze compared to what the Gulf Coast has just experienced. We’re always complaing about our weather but we don’t get the extremes. I can’t imagine the ferocity of a storm that could shift the Alabama.

I think the current plan is we’ll be there Saturday.

Last year we attended the September airshow and, with hindsight, concluded we should really have gone to the end of season one in October. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do both yet but would people agree this is likely to be the better of the two?

Porthole on stbd rear fuselage forward of the turret. Bigger ‘turtleback’ for dinghy stowage or larget oil tanks (can’t remember which) removed from the British flying restos anyway. Better arrangement of engine and other controls in the cockpit (kept in British restos) Paint and pedantry.

That’s from a thread in December 2004. Visually the only difference on the two UK flyers has been the porthole.

I have them both delivered, driving into Chesterfield to the nearest newsagents that stock them is as pleasant as having a tooth extracted. 🙁
