A couple of memorial shots from Halesworth are on the link below including a photo of the cockpit you mention, though I thought it was a Douglas C-54B-1-DC Skymaster, registration 42-72343 is marked on it, though not visible on the photo.
Shots from Attlebridge are on the following link, showing turkey sheds and the runways.

When did you last see inside the one at Langham?
Richard
Lets hope it doesn’t get removed, it is part of the scenery at shoreham!! Maybe it should be restored like the one at Langham
Biggin Hill was several Vic formations but there was no where near as many Spitfires than what were at Duxford the weekend before.
Some photos from the Biggin Hill event here including Spitfire LFVB (G-MKVB), Spitfire HFVIIIc (G-BKMI) & Spitfire LFIX (PH-OUQ) in a Vic formation.
Aircraft painted in the Pearl Harbour RF-? markings at Biggin are;
Vickers Armstrong Spitfire VIII (ex MV154 which it was in the colours of before the Pearl Harbour re-paint, now MT928 / ZX-M / G-BKMI. Painted as AR654 / RF-T for Pearl Harbour
Vickers Supermarine Spitfire VC (AR501 / NN-A / G-AWII). Painted as AR4474 / RF-Y for Pearl Harbour
BM597 was not painted in the RF-? colours but was at Biggin Hill in its usual colour scheme.
Vickers Supermarine Spitfire LFVB (BM597 / JH-C / G-MKVB)
All photos were at the Battle of Britain day on 17th September 2000

There is a museum in Canada (Can’t remember which one but a search on google should find it) that have just had a full size model of an Arrow built for display, they maybe able to help.

Well done everyone, yet more great news from your neck of the woods
Just out of curiosity, what happened to the Buccaneer they were planning to fly in the UK, HHA’s Buccaneer I think it was?
Sunday 3rd May 1998 saw what was effectively a ‘Diamond 16’ led by Rod Dean
Sorry about the poor quality of the photo but I was using the best camera at the time!!
Richard
Work depending it would be good to head up to, count me in!
Although it didn’t move far there was a T2 Hangar at Hethel in Norfolk that was re-located close to the airfield and is still in use today, all be it as some sort of storage for a nearby farm.

Thanks for the replies, So it is essentially the slats at the front of the wing that are the main difference visually the rest was all internal upgrades.

I’ve always thought that the last line of One Vision by Queen was a bit bizzare;
“Fried Chicken”

Any news on the Rockwell Bronco’s that are at Duxford? Will they or do they fly? I noticed it in the background of your last photo, be good to see one in the air.
The Hunter at Ford will be this one then:
