Not heard much on the planned museum at Walney for quite sometime, all i know is that they had been given a Tornado GR1 and a Hawker Hunter and that land adjacent to the airfield had been earmarked for use.
Will have to pop down and take some pics when we get some decent weather. Just wondering if the move to Morecambe will still happen or will the museum be staying put?
I seem to remember one year hearing on the grapevine that Old Warden got a B1 B flypast, totally by accident, was this true? As for chicksands, i only went to one event there, can any one remeber which year clues are….
Clear blue skies, Red Arrows display, Tucano display, Tornado GR1 fly-bys, F-15x 2 fly-bys and nimrod fly-bys, i would think maybe early 90’s but cant remember the exact year.
I count myself lucky to have been able to go to the Clophill fete once, what a great event, heard a B52 cruising about above the low cloud and had the living daylights scared out of me by the Dutch airforce display team.
Sounds like June 17th 1995 when we were treated to the following…..
RAF Nimrod MR2P
RAF Tornado F3
RAF Hawk
RNTHAF F-16 (solo twice)
RAF Tornado GR1
USAF F-111
RAF Harrier GR7 x 2
RAF Hercules
RNTHAF F-27 Troopship
BBMF DC-3 Dakota
RAF Jaguar
Great JP you have their, many thanks for bringing it to Kirkbride earlier in the year!

Mr T? I wouldn’t of thought he would fit into the cockpit of the P-40 and then theirs all that extra weight with the gold etc etc. Nice to see Hangar 11 filling the gap though the RAC are bringing a Jungmiester and Magister.
Lots of aircraft visiting too. Also 5 x Hunter sorties, 5 x JP sorties and 4 x P-51 sorties planned so i’m imagining a few fly-bys. Also Scandanavian HF’s A-26 / P-51 / Hunter and Vampire present.
Nice stuff, great to see a small event covered.
Thats a name i haven’t heard in ages, they used to be rather good too.

These were at Kirkbride airfield in Cumbria last Sunday………



Does anyone know whose solo Mustang and Spitfire displays are?
Sorry about that, only just found out for certain yesterday myself.
My favourite classic jet? The pictures are so much better than any words……..
