Colin, good thread. The other I was have a read through an old thread here about warbirds featured in films and TV; it occurred to me that with YouTube (et al) revolution the clips are now freely available on the Internet.
So here’s my contribution. Writing to Reach You by Travis with Fran being straffed in a field by a Buchon. Why did I think it was a Spit on a snowy hillside? :confused: Anyway, it gives me goosebumps every time I watch the attack.

If we could continue in the same vein, that would be cool 🙂
Would it look lovely at *that* show next month, alongside the ARC and Skyblue Aviation examples?
Go on TFC, make it happen 🙂
Will it be at Leg Ends? 😀
I took a bunch of photos today. I’ll try and up them to photobucket asap.
If you look in Historic, I have posted a few photos of the OPMAS Beech 18.
I’ve decided I’d quite like to set a group up around on a 118hp Citabria Aurora 🙂
Simply stunning photos. I want to come over and have a go – now! 😎
You’re a mere sinner here compared to some (he said thinking of Moggy and some others) 🙂
I was thinking more of when the aircraft were able to directly speak to the arty on the ground in order to direct fire. Inter-war or earlier?
Now what are you goingo to defend the airfield against TT? High-viz jackets? :diablo:
CAA or PFA Permit, Nick? If the latter, how forthcoming and efficient were PFA Engineering?
Nope, seems to be working here 🙂
😮
10 hail marys for Mr Hiscock!
If any are on Permit, it would be a CAA Permit, surely?
Any truth in the story that Richard Dimbleby (“how absolutely marvellous”) reported on the invasion, or soon after, from overhead the beaches in a Piper Cub?
TT, you need to go cap in hand to the boss and get this for Sywell! :diablo:
I’d imagine when you need a pilot asap, you want someone with currency, capacity and an understanding wife 🙂 Also helps I bet that there’s an engineer on board for any shakedown flight.
