Nope, didn’t miss it as I e.mailed the BBC to ask when it was being televised and they actually gave me the date!:cool: A good 10 minutes of coverage there.

G222 sounds possible.

The start of the F27 display where he hit the smoke button on the ground whilst running up to max power before letting off the brakes, emerging from the smoke to get airborne seconds later, to then pull the gear and remain about 2 metres off the runway for its full length before pulling up hard into a wingover is forever ingrained on my memory.

But he never did roll it, so my vote still goes to the Italians.

Moggy

….ah, the memories……

one word gentlemen….
BURGERS!!!!!:D

..washed down with cans of iced cold MOUNTAIN DEW, followed by hot donuts(must spell it the American way!).
Lindsay Peacock getting arrested for using a stepladder to photograph the SR-71…oh such wonderful memories!:rolleyes:

1)Getting to know the Red Arrows pilots when they flew Gnats at Kemble and being offered a flight with them, only to turn up and be told there had been a crash and the MoD had banned passengers in the back seats!

2) During filming of “Piece of Cake” at South Cerney and being offered a flight by the pilot of the B-25 Mitchell camera ship, only to be told by the Director there was no room for the camera crew + me! (there was LOADS of room!)

Am I right in assuming you are taking the Gloster E28/39 to Kemble for the Air Day on 17th June?

The last batch of my pictures from Bruntingthorpe including XN584 !!

Does anybody know the ID of the Hunter in two halves or the JP nose on the trailer under a cover.

Ian,

There’s dedication and enthusiasm if ever I saw it? Well done, you are far more braver than I, who was put off by the atrocious weather with non-stop rain across the entire country. Even that farce at Abingdon was cancelled so I felt sure Bruntingthrorpe would be also. However, if they don’t fly, then why should it? Excellent stuff as always and thanks for posting these.

B*gger!, B*gger!, B*gger!!

I had been taking photos of my model Mi-26 – with spotlights, so the camera was set to Tungsten.

I forget to switch back to AWB – so all my photos of GVFW have come out BLUE !!!

I have done the best I can with the balance….

Here are the pics of the three Chrisleas…..

Ken

Taking blue pictures again Ken? :rolleyes: Don’t worry the ‘cavalry’ comes to your rescue

Here ’tis.

As ever, an interesting backdrop, from which I’m sure some here will be able to state the show. Black Farnborough sheds(?) and l-r Fariey Gyrodyne, AW flying wing(?) some over-rated fighter type, make me an offer, 😀 some British airliner thing with a tailwheel – Vickers Viking?

Floats look very like the Norseman’s set.

James,

This is not Farnborough, but Radlett in 1947, the year before the SBAC shows moved to Farnborough. This Proctor floatplane was only shown statically and was subsequently de-converted and sold to Canada as CF-EHF.
