Interesting four bladed propellor. Not sure the 190 ever operated with such an airscrew. Also it looks as though cowling profile is different to other flug werk examples. Is it still running an Asch radial?

No crying!!!

We are about to commence painting Buchon G-BWUE into its B of B film colours as Yellow 10 this week. So hopefully it will rekindle some happy days when you see it! 🙂

Now that is something I can’t wait to see !!

Wonderful stuff!

That has Dan Griffith’s trademark handling stamped all over it.
In my opinion, a finer Spitfire solo display you will not see; the most dynamic display flying since the Hannas but almost different in every way.
He constantly uses the famed tight turning circle of the aircraft meaning the display is always in front of the crowd, so much so that you can hear the two .50 cals screaming like a P-51D.

GWAD was also on my doorstep, and as a child of the 80s this was where the warbird enthusiast’s seed was well and truly planted for me. I miss that place.
Throwing around those little foam gliders with the blue plastic freewheeling propellors, getting bored waiting for the show to start.
Sitting in the Sally B supporters enclosure, getting blown away with a face full of smoke when she started up in readiness for her slot.
Getting excited to see this famous chap called Gary flying around pretending to be Japanese.
Concorde, the Vulcan, Phantom sneak attacks and of course MH434 and Ray Hanna.

I worked in Kings Hill for a while a few years ago, I spent many a lunch time wandering around the toy town housing estates working out where everything was and casting my mind back.
Such a damn shame.

Thanks for sharing the videos Trolly Aux, i’ll be sure to give these a viewing later.

Incredible, thanks for sharing. Exceptional airmanship.
Witnessed it first hand at the AirSpace end on the day with my heart in my mouth.

Aha, understood Mark. How different she looks now!
I’m surprised there are none in the ‘making of’ book? I don’t have it to hand at the moment, a great little eBay purchase that was.

Blooming marvellous, thanks for sharing Daz! Been meaning to give it another watch, it’s been a while. I used to have it on repeat as a lad, wearing out my Dad’s VHS recording from the original showing on ITV.
Also, I’ve lived down the road from Headcorn all my life and never realised it was used as a base for filming; you learn something new every day.
