    yep Gatwick was great into the late 70’s/early 80’s as anything remotely interesting on a delivery flight used to route through there.. remember chasing down there late one night to see some Cuban Antanovs… made a change for a LHR spotter to see all the foreign charters.. CP Air + Capitol DC8’s, Evergreen C130’s, the regular Canadian AF C130/B707…etc etc etc those were the days, especially as I could get from LHR to LGW for 50p return on the greeline coach using one of their day rovers tickets – if you got up early enough you could ‘do’ LHR/LUTON/LGW/LHR on the bus in a day for 50p..

    aaah..

    bet it cost him less to refuel the Sea Fury than it did his hire car when he was over here! 😀

    Mr. Andy has been doing some research recently concerning the British government’s investment in sleeve valve technology during the war. Maybe he can enlighten us with some facts and figures…

    Sorry to hear about Ellsworth’s problem in Camarillo. Hope it’s nothing serious.

    so thats what Andy does in his shed..

    The weather was a tad interesting today, tipping down with rain,howlign wind at one stage but luckily a bit of blue sky for ‘the Majors’ display… apparently there was a photographer there from Flypast so hopefully there’ll be some decent flying shots in the magazine sometime.
