    Just returned from Legends 18…despite the heat WHAT a show!

    Highlights:

    – Battle of Britain Movie theme (who else got caught out by the Buchons appearing over the hill?)
    – Nick Grey/Richard Grace in the Furies (what a double act)
    – DC6 – so manuvourable for its size!
    -Sharkmouth in P51 routine
    – Heritage Flight

    Hope everyone had a great day…everyone was walking like Zombies in the heat come 4pm!

    Also took a photo of Douglas Baders apple but dont know how to post pics on my phone!

    Most importantly a safe show x

    Wonderful to see Yellow 7 and PL983 out in the sunshine along with the Fury and Jug. DX continues to provide such a wealth of variety. Despite the doom and gloom of Brexit and the Campaign Against Aviation, has the UK war bird scene ever been healthier?

    Was just thinking the same thing!

    Hi brataccas,

    There are only two complete Wellingtons at present.

    The RAF Museum have one. It was on display in Hendon for years, but has recently been transported to their conservation site at RAF Cosford, where it is undergoing restoration work.

    The second complete Wellington is at Brooklands Museum. This one was raised from the bottom of Loch Ness in the 80’s, and restored.

    There are also two identifiable substantial wrecks of Wellingtons. One, L7775 is mostly at East Kirby, where its complete wing is on display, with its tail section at Moreton-In-Marsh, Gloucestershire. The other, Z1206 consists of the forward fuselage with the Midland Aircraft Recovery Group in Warwickshire.

    Got a funny feeling the tail section is no longer at Moreton-In-Marsh cluld be wrong though!

    I recall hearing a ‘funny’ story of how in the 50’s a B36 pilot landed at Enstone by mistake thinking it was Upper Heyford (same approach line). Believe it was quite a shock! There is an article online somewhere
