    Flying Bulls B25 Mitchell, P38 Lightning and Corsair flew over Regal Towers in W.G.C. at 16.55 this afternoon, heading towards Duxford. Presumably transiting from Fairford ?

    “near Norton Disney”
    Where Walt’s family came from, hence the surname.
    Diversion over, back to the topic.

    Geostorm, with Gerard Butler. The world’s weather is weaponised by rogue American Secret Service agents to disable potential enemies.
    A complete load of hokum but with decent special FX and an entertaining enough way to spend an couple of hours.

    Surely ‘new historics’ is a contradiction in terms, unless they’re all replicas?.
    Whatever happened to the Proctor that was being worked on in ( I think) deepest East Anglia ?

    Slight thread creep, but there could be an awful lot of nasty stuff around. About 12 years ago I received a call at work asking me to locate a firm that could supply a rubbish skip for delivery to a local playing field – just one stipulation, the skip had to be water-tight. Turns out workman had started a task and very soon uncovered some phospherous bombs of the definate ‘home made’ varity as intended for use by last-ditch defenders in case the Third Reich decided to invade Welwyn Garden City. The idea was that the Fire Brigade filled the skip with water and put the bombs in, to stop them going off. It seems to have worked.

    A campaign group has been formed to set out the case for a return of flying to this site (or at least the part which isn’t going to have houses built on it). Website below, they also have presence on the usual social media sites

    Thanks for the positive ID, Propstrike , I caught a glimpse of this formation soon after they’d passed over Panshanger but could not be sure what they were. Coincidence or not the ARC Beaver was in the same stretch of sky but possibly not in the group, the speed disparity being marked.

    2x Apache in transit over W.G.C. at 13.00hrs; Hercules over WGC at 18.00hrs. Both sightings heading SW.

    Also a number of V1’s overflew London and came down in the county – whether they are included in the books mentioned I don’t know. Stretching the definition of crashing I suppose but you could say their arrival was uncontrolled.
