    Was on the (extended time) second flight some thing about ATC delays not that i’m complaning!

    well worth the long trip up from Southend, got up at 4:00am! to get a train to Basildon to get a car to the airport…

    did not get back home untill about 10:00pm just been down Southend sea front to see what remains of the pier head after last nights fire sad sight indeed.

    Most of the wood has gone luckly the iron work looks like it surrived the worst of it.

    From what I can rember the Prentice was built to replace the Proctor which did suffer from a problem of going in to spins, the up turned wing tips helped… I think.

    erm err well yes

    The forts “kills” were recorded as:

    1 E-Boat
    22 Aircraft
    31 V1 Doodle Bugs

    Just think how many of the wrecks still litter the sea bed of the Thames Estuary sadly the salt water and tidal movement will probably have destroyed much of them.

    Posted them here as they are Anti-Aircraft forts…and they are old…

    So Historic Aviation related 😉 kind of

    I will try and rember to post advice about next years trip a bit earlyer next year as it might well be your last chance to see both sets from on board the Waverley.
