    His own words, he owns 90% of the exhibits.

    When it closes some of the pieces are going to Norwich Aviation Museum, the rest to the City Library.

    He himself is off to Australia to live……

    A large group of us had a visit to RAF Coltishall yesterday evening organised by Dale and Andrea of Anglia Flight, we had an excellent presentation, in the Museum Room, by Mr M Jennings MBE covering the history of the Station.
    The whole thing was extremely interesting…

    Am sure I speak for everyone involved when passing on my most sincere thanks to Dale and Andrea for organising it.

    Whilst I’m passing thanks to them I might also add that the evening presentation at Happy Landings Bar, Hangar 10, Norwich Airport on March 9th was also a most interesting event, with a series of presentations going back to the original Mousehold Aerodrome of the Twenties – a fantastic insight.

    Many thanks to you both……..

    I’m out anyway – the Colt’s on annual and Trinny is off elsewhere.

    Moggy

    That’s a great idea. Trinny and I can come to our first taxi-in :rolleyes:

    I agree – SAR is a heroic job, I haven’t had much experience save for myself and DP having a very close encounter with a big yellow Sea King one evening at Swanton Morley, during the local beer festival…!! But that’s another story….

    Anyways, yes you are correct with the WWII fighter aircraft…. 😉

    It was a great flight Big Nose, something I’ll never forget but it was marred a bit by you punching me on the chin before take off!

    Oh sh!t yes!!! I am so sorry, I swear he didn’t pay me to do that………

    Fantastic pics and experience Mr PS!!

    More of a normal weekend for me although I do have some pics from Saturday when I took Bee Bee for a flight in a Yak 52 out of Norwich, I’m notoriously bad at attaching them but I’ll have a go..

    I would also just like to thank Boomer for taking the pics and Dale and Andrea at Anglia Flight/Happy Landings Bar, Hangar 10 for the extraordinary hospitality. Many thanks to them.
    If anyone anticipates going to Norwich then give em a call, cheap landings, no security and top class grub.
    Not forgetting this Thu (9th) evening with a video presentation about the original Moushold aerodrome and Meteors at Norwich in the fifties, all welcome..

    Needless to say we managed to dodge the snow showers, had great fun zooming around the towering cumulus and landed back with grins on our faces!!

    😀 Indeed it was, a truly memorable day. 😉 😀 Anna

    The best show I’ve participated in. The briefing tent was a who’s who of display pilots – very humbling..

    Mr Barrell c/o AFH10
    A strange place for such a large tattoo,though…..are the other people in the picture saying ‘oh no! not again’

    You guessed it!!

    Shortly after that we were asked to leave — we were the ‘other side of the pond’ and I guess they don’t take too kindly to that sort of behaviour.
