PS – an image like that just reinforces the point as regards to (sometimes!) the value and importance of “aviation archaeology”.
Without it, there would be no P9374 as we know her today.

Absolutely!

Now can we have a Whirlwind please? 🙂

Good to see you there today Andy, and I’m looking forward to reading my copy.

Well, I read on the Internet that it “looks as though its gona stop”, so it must be true! 🙂

I saw the book in the shop at Duxford today, it looked very nice. I look forward to getting a copy at the launch tomorrow. 🙂

I’ve also got Smithsonian volumes on the Fw190 and Bleriot as well as those listed? The Wellington one was a not Smithsonian book, and is a general history of the type.

The Avro Survivors book by Aston was never published, nor was the Hawker one that was also promised.

There’s one on the Glasgow Spitfire too, terrible binding, my copy started shedding pages pretty much straight away 🙁

I must have a dozen or so on individual Spitfires alone, such as Brendon Deere’s recent one, several on the Manston one, one on TB863,

Then there’s Peter Vacher’s Hurricane book
Several on ‘Just Jane’
Paul Coggan’s book on ‘Lil Margaret’
One on the CWH Lancaster

The new play area will include a sand-pit…..complete with buried Spitfire! 😀

How about a buried Varsity, along with French knock-off Ju-52 and Storch?

I would suspect that the pilot concerned, being a local, knows the area intimately. He also happens to be very experienced in flying a P-51 at low altitude and high speed.

I can neither confirm nor deny that low-level flight in the rolling NorCal hills takes place, nor can I confirm or deny that it is absolutely great fun and gives those involved a grin a mile wide!
