Why not just build a ‘normal hanger?’ Shows how long it has been since I went to Cosford, it wasn’t there on my last visit. The only plus is a lot of a/c are now inside.
Mr M,
Surely, you mean the damage done with .303’s rather than the .50 Cal??
I did indeed mean it that way around. Thank you for the correction kind Sir. Otherwise a good programme.
trumper, it may well be scrapped? Would be a shame if it was.
Just watched it on the player thing, a good programme. The one big issue I have is why the .50cal? The programme is about an a/c with .303s?
I would love to see the damage done with a .50 rather than a .303.
Mention it as many times as you like David. Not that many people got to fly in her. It’s great that you can share the experience.
You won’t forget that flight for a long time, that’s for sure!
I bet he needed a change of pants after that!
Good work gents!
Same happened on the way down, lowish altitude and lack of receivers in the area.
The pilot must be in the Yes camp …………
Meddle, get you camera out!
I trust that expecting Vera to return over the East of Scotland is asking far too much.
Looks like she is going to. http://fr24.com/CGVRA
I think the problem is;
“arrested on suspicion of stealing items from a former prisoner of war camp.”
We landed left the runway on to the grass and then back onto the runway no probs. Have had this happen a few times in our Lanc.
Well stop doing it!! Seriously, I’m glad it wasn’t a problem, not news I want to hear.
Good news, the brakes must have got very hot if it needs to stay overnight, but safety first.
I must admit when I first heard you were coming over I thought you off your rockers, but can I say a big thank you CWHM for making it happen, and also thank you and respect to the Canadian crew members who didn’t come home. I salute them.
Come to think about it, it would have been worth the government paying for the Canadians to come over. The UK Plc has benefited hugely from them been here, how you may ask? Take me for example, I spent £30 on fuel to get Coningsby, HMRC got the fuel duty and VAT from a trip I wouldn’t have made, how many thousands have done the same? Entrance fees, money spent on T-shirts etc, revenue going into the government coffers.
