Nice memories, I wonder how many airfields have this sort of unsecured access today ?????

To get anything done you have to go to Government Ministers web address otherwise thousands of Civil Servants shove the correspondence from one department to another. Its a bit like the old saying “12 Airscrews required at RAF Pembroke Dock” by the time the 500th clerk reads the memo 12 more Sunderland AIRCREW are despatched!

Friend of mine reckons that’s how he and 999 fellow aircrew ended up in West Africa during the war !!!!

Did it, no I didn’t, information is never useless.

I shared this on the general discussion forum, but as many of you don’t venture into the twilight zone that often for sanity reasons.

A similar thing happened here in Jersey a few years ago, a couple of Aeronavale Etendard’s were booked for the airshow, their slot came up and……nothing, so as in all good shows the show went on. Exactly a week later two Etendards appeared off of the south coast of Jersey unannouced, went through their display, and departed with out uttering a word.

It’s not just the Americans you know !!!!

Great pictures, I particularly like the atmospheric P47 shot.

A sad sight really !!!!

If only………

Ok you’re forgiven. Try to get a real car next time 😉

And don’t make it yellow, it attracts dustcaps’ thieves :p (Apparently this ain’t the case for red cars, but I admit my dustcaps are just plastic)

Watch it Frank, I work for a law firm and could get the French thing altered to include person/s from the Benelux countries as well 😀

Looks like it’s been censored at some point, the serial has been erased.

Nice photo though
