First of all, there is only one “G” in Baginton. :p
I rather thought the economics (note other regional airport expansions went the same way about 2008) did for TUI, rather than the NIMBYs. Plus the inability to develop much e.g. a terminal due to the mail depots being built on the old factory site (north side)
The STAR would have mandated something higher than 1000ft. Also to my knowledge, all roofing tiles in Stoneleigh remained undamaged from any wake vortex. 😉
It’s an opinion and not unique to Tony. Lets not stray too far off this path.
Aeros have plenty of investments at other airfields, not just Baginton. Buying up Tollerton would not therefore logically generate a push out due to changing the use of Baginton.
One thing, if I recall correctly, IPC kept the aeroplane archive during the split, so RBI the owners of FI, only have the FI archive.
I used to work for them until 2006 and was involved in the early stages of getting some photos digitised. The archive used to be at the end of the office in Quadrant House, Sutton. It used to be a guy called David something (not Learmount).
Try calling the office and see where you get:

Like the tenuous link that this thread has to “historic aviation” 🙂
By the way, thanks for posting people. I was expecting this one to rapidly head off the scope!
Finally found the source for Waltz for George.
Here is Bernard Stubbs, reporting for the BBC, from Dover:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/dunkirk/14311.shtml
“Reporting from Dover, Bernard Stubbs describes the scene as the ships return from Dunkirk and the troops disembark. He then follows the soldiers onto trains as they head home and also boards a ship to see what the conditions were like. Stubbs notes that, regardless of the strife, the port was well organised and the troops in good spirits.”
Or a good radio jammer?
What’s the fuel capacity over how many tanks? I guess this has a Lyc 540 running at 235hp?

Still interested in knowing about Waltz for George. Might tweet PSBHQ and ask.
Merged, Ian 😉
You guys used to fire up the engines every Wednesday iirc at 11am. Used to make lessons at AFT rather interesting, if disruptive! That was five years ago.
Don’t forget the BBMF had its last deep check on the Lancaster at Coventry. I imagine its a question of human and monetary resource. Great news on your intent. With a regulatory nod, the drawbridge has been lowered. Being just south of Coventry, this would be great to see another classic type flying over my house.
