Front and trailing edges were silver, which they’ve got correct but you are right about the serials and roundels being wrong. Such a shame, as such inaccuate details could have been avoided with a little research, but obviously there are those that don’t care as long as ‘it looks pretty’! :rolleyes:

Hello Mister Ross, I can assure you that quite a bit of research was carried out into this scheme and that your view that “there are those that don’t care as long as ‘it looks pretty’ ” is unfortunatly completely unfounded. Have you made a effort to pass your derogatry comments on to the collection or are you just passing comment on here to show us your wealth of intellect and wit? 😡

Yours sincerely Steven Panter.

As an aside I know you are entitled to your own view but please do not insult peoples work with such generalistic statements.

The ‘other’ PT-22 belongs to Tracy Curtis-Taylor, I think I spelt that right, and has been about at OW pretty much all season. Great aircraft and they look so right together in the air over Old Warden together. And yes they are kinner engined.

Sorry i’ve been chastised by my brother and father, it was Goldington Power station, (which incidently was the site proposed by Richard Shuttleworth for a Bedford airport back in the 30’s) in the background of the shot.

Also yes i’m reliably informed the engine was at Clapham for a short time sorry, i like the smell of steam but traction engines are more my thing, you can steer them :).

Hi the power station was Little Barford just up the road from OW and Tempsford, this was knocked down early nineties? :confused: can renember seeing it being demolished just can’t think when (not good for 25 is it sorry) 😮 Old Warden tunnel is partially blocked up, went down it a few years ago very dark and nice big holes to trip over and hurt your ankle in 😀

This ridiculous bit of legislation has been bouncing about the military vehicle and re-enactors scene for a while a few changes have been made to try and make it better, and despite thousands of names on petitions the government are unmoved.
Some de-act traders at beltring had letters from various MPs letting them know that having the weapons won’t be illegal, just showing them or selling would be, fine for a trader!
They are now saying weapons made before 1850, i think, will be excempt so castles will be fine but then when did nationwide get held up with a cannon ball?
There is an update on http://www.wwiireenacting.com explaining what you can do to help.

My self and Fergy1 (can we still call him this after rover75’s re-appearance :p ) will be there on the sat with whatever OW is sending across.

Great shots, just wondering if any one got any pictures of the Arrow Active or some more overall shots of the Mewgull i’m having withdrawl symptoms after spending many cold winter days tending to them both.

cheers

Steve

Hi just a quick one to say that me and Fergy1 will be there on the sat with our Dodge ambulance. Should be a good show, according to another forum there will be around 200 re-enactors from all sides especially US 82nd airborne (the 505th PIR left from Spanhoe for D-day). Aircraft in attendance will apparently include a C-47 in the Hangar.

Hope to see some of you there, look for the green vehicle with ‘discrete’ red crosses, shouldn’t be too many there!! :p :p
