    I saw Harvard KF183 flying around Boscombe Down at 1030 today.
    It’s good to see her flying again as it has been some time since I last heard her distinctive noise! 😎

    The crack as a Chipmunks Gipsy Major springs to life!

    I guess with my screen name there wouldn’t be many other sounds that I’d associate with aviation. 😀

    When were the canards added and how many aircraft had them fitted?

    Busy at Boscombe today!

    At 12.10 I saw the two Hips leaving Boscombe. 3 hours later when I was walking passed the base I saw an Apache and a Gazelle doing circuits, the 2 Hips returned and landed, one of the ETPS Andovers landed -the one with the black Sea Harrier shaped radome on it’s nose and 2 minutes behind that a black Hawk landed! I’m pretty sure it was one of the Alpha Jets from Boscombe I saw yesterday doing circuits, it certainly wasn’t a Hawk and I don’t think there is much else there it could have been.

    Edit; it clearly wasn’t one of the three raspberry ripple Hawks flown by ETPS at Boscombe but does anybody know what the all black Hawk was/is doing there?

    Is there only one Hurricane on display at Duxford and is that the Memphis Belle or just a Memphis Belle?

    The B-17’s attending so far are,

    “Yankee Lady”
    “Nine-O-Nine”
    “The Movie Memphis Belle”
    “Aluminum Overcast”
    “Texas Raiders”
    “Sentimental Journey”
    “Liberty Belle”

    “Desert Rat” (display with parts)
    “Champaign Lady” (display with parts)

    During WW2 were any B-17’s operated by the RAF and if so does anybody know of any photos of the aircraft?

    Oh, and I was joking about Russel Brand as Pike.

    Daniel Radcliffe as Pike?

    When I go what order do I need to visit the different hangars in to see the history of the RAF, oldest aircraft to the modern/current aircraft?

    I think it must have been a PC21.
