click next picture thats just as good
ive only been to a few taxi days and the pilot has always been jacko jackson.
i think it was something to do with the fact that there was a little bit of explosives being in the area were it normaly turns round. 😉
With it being the first time ive been their for a night taxi run i did not know what to expect. Just seeing a lancaster in the dark with its engines running was well worth going to see, but when they throw in a spitfire display and a mock airfield attack it just rounds the day off perfectly.
Perhaps next time they could have the spitfire flying,the lancaster taxiing and the pyrotecnics going off all at the same time 😎
Must have been “Bud” Holland. There is a very interesting professional study into the whole story of “Bud” breaking rules for a number of years:
Wasnt this the guy who did a display at Mildenhall in a B-52 named Swashbuckler. I only remember it because of the ground efect takeoff and the fact the wings were bending during the turns. Plus i talked to one off the buff crewmembers afterwards who seemed to think that the airframe had been overstressed. however i cannot remember the year.
If im standing outside the base and i see it i will consider it fair game for a few pics dispite what the owner may or may not approve of :diablo:

Just a bit of an observation but the Comet and Mosquito look very nearly the same. Are the two designs related?

ooops no make that two ££ worth

10,000 rivets for me were you going to put your £s worth 😮
The Vulcan people at Bruntingthorpe could buy it. Then pull the wheels out from under it, Chop the thing up. Sell the rivets individualy and cut the sheet metal up for key rings then sell whats left to those bods that make beer cans.
Perhaps that way 558 will fly sooner 😀
