One of the things that stood out for me was his complete enthusiasm and excitement to be there, he was absolutely thrilled on the Sunday to see a Lysander fly for the first time (I’m sure you can identify with that JDK!) and to witness the Balbo. His obvious knowledge of the subject was clear to all who listened. And yes Dave, I did catch the mention of your forum too.
I seem to be in a minority here as I rather like M.Chabbert’s unique take on things, and I missed his Gallic tones this year. To me it is all part of the overall Flying Legends experience. Having said that a change now and again is no bad thing, and Trevor and Peter did a really great job. As someone has previously noted though, a quick mention of who was flying what would have been most welcome. Hopefully things will be back to normal next year and Bernard will be available, things just weren’t quite the same without a mention of ‘mechanical sparrows’ and how the French won the Battle of Britain by softening up the Luftwaffe beforehand! 🙂
