Wow Knettishall was mentioned and Moggy didn’t have anything to do with it. 🙂
Where are good places to buy new A-2s in the UK? You’ve given me an appetite to try one out.
Ermmmm….. (he thought espying the second paragraph of the last post)
What aeroplane is it? We have some room but it’s tight.
You need to speak to Mick Littler who is the airfield manager (son of owner) and a very nice farmer-type bloke. Phone the airfield office 01789 842007. Hangar space is limited.
What are you looking to base there? Maybe there’s another option?
“Don’t stop you cow…” Brenda is Back! 😀
Missed episode 3 last time so good that it’s been repeated. Will RDF be making any other films in the same vain as Spitfire Ace and Bomber Crew?
The scenes where it was clipping the top of the cloud base and you could see the wing vortices curling the cloud around – this gave me goose bumps.
Then they showed a Grumpy Greer on the show afterwards. No mention of a Lancaster flying out of Duxford! :p

Concorde: A Love Story
Documentary revealing the inside story of how Concorde was designed and built, and how it survived against the odds to become an international icon. Told from the points of view of frequent fliers, engineers, designers, test pilots and flight staff, the programme also looks at the last years of Concorde, and its legacy for British air travel.
How old is Captain Ions now, Moggs?

Just over 3 pages worth of photos taken at Bodney.
It’s a good idea for an aerodrome to conform to certain standards I think and enforced through a licencing system of some sort makes sense. First it prmotes safety and secondly punter confidence in the operation. However some rightly hold that the existing system is onerous so perhaps a half-way house can be reached? A PPL-specific aerodrome licence? What do you think Trapper?
http://www.silence-aircraft.co.uk/ are the guys in the UK. WIl be interesting to see if their VP prop design solves the issue of Jabiru props
Bar Turdy, what are the chances of a non-member ringing for PPR on the day and getting it?
Hope making things members-only can sustain the numbers…
They used to do this a Coventry flying club. Last time I saw it was at the last ever Coventry air show some years back. A C172 led four C152s. Amazing. Seems Cessnas have their uses after all. 😉
