If you want to use the Flypast stand at Duxford, it is shared with the Friends of Duxford. As a steward there, my instructions are normally to make sure everyone is wearing either a Flypast or FOD sticker before they are allowed in.

Now, to get an FOD sticker you have to be a member, but I don’t know how the Flypast team handle their side…

There was a thread on PPrune the other day about French-language flying. Not sure if it will contain exactly what you need but it might help:

Whatever the camera platform was, I’m guessing it was flown by Anna Walker? She has been credited in each episode.

Box of tissues is seeing action here, too!

What a fantastic piece of television. A congratulatory email has been duly dispatched to Channel 4…

I really hope they bring this out on DVD.

What was the item? I’m guessing it wasn’t tasteful… I clicked on the link and got this:

I’ve been told that it’s being run by the same people as put on the Boat Show, and lots of juicy exhibits are on the cards… We will find out, I guess!

This one of the T-6 and T-34 – not a great shot but it sums things up for me:

You asked for ones personal to each of us – well, this was one of the high points of my summer! To fly in a formation of four spirited WW2 advanced trainers, while trying to grab pictures with a lens sticking out into a 120 knot wind, while bouncing around like there’s no tomorrow, and hanging on to the straps just-in-case (!), is one of the most amazing, invigorating, maddening, hair-raising. thrilling and generally enjoyable experiences of my life.

Well, you did ask!

I’ve been lucky enough to receive some cracking good gifts. A couple of aviation books – one about the Vulcan and the other about the UK aircraft industry.

My other half’s sister embroidered me a tapestry depicting a Tiger Moth which is delightful.

And my godfather gave me a philatelic commemorative stamp cover, one of 2000 to be flown on the last Transatlantic Concorde flight.

I’m a happy bunny! 🙂

The 322nd were based at Rougham/Bury St Edmunds before they swapped bases with the 94th and moved to Earls Colne/Andrews Field in June 1943.

There’s some history of the 322nd here if you don’t know about them already.

I think it’s genetic for me. My Dad was always into aircraft – still is – and brought me up to run to the window at the sound of an engine. I was taken regularly to the Air Tattoo at Fairford – a biannual treat! I was there also when the Space Shuttle visited en route to Paris in about 1984-ish. We had gliders floating around near the house on sunny days and before they moved to Scampton, the Red Arrows gave us free displays while practising from their base at Kemble.

My interest went dormant whilst at university but resurfaced with a vengeance when I moved to Cambridgeshire, only 6 miles from Duxford…. Can you guess what happened next? 😉 😀

Probably the nearest a mere mortal can get to flying low-level over Central London!
