Anyone care to speculate about what the next speculation thread will be ? 😀

For me the Veterans are everything, I have missed great chunks of the past two Legends because I have been talking to one Veteran or another, last year it was Jimmy Stewart, and the year before the 609 Sqn guys and Michel Donet, though the person running the signing event at that time was a complete and utter t!t, I think Snapper would back me up on this. Thankfully because of the 609 chaps I missed the Firefly tragedy.

At Chailey last year I hardly saw any of the display, I was chatting to Ludwig Matel, Franek Kornicki and their fellow Poles. Merlins over Malta was spent chatting to the Veterans and asking them to sign the piece of Hurricane Fabric that now adorns a wall in a Croydon Mansion.

All I can say is hopefully the aircraft will be here for many years to come, unfortunately it’s a fact of life that the Veterans won’t be. Personally I choose to chat and learn from them while I can. In years to come I can watch the metal grace the sky and remember the people that I have met.

I have no disrespect for those of us who go solely to see the aircraft, each of us has a different interest.

That’s some extension Mike has on show there.

According to BCL Vol it came down 7 km NNW of Doudeville. If this of any help ?

I’ve dropped you a PM T J, hangar flying and low level passes take place at the Red Lion after the show. Depending on who’s there heroic bulls**t might emerge!
