    I don’t remember her being there… I’ll check my photos

    …Nope she didn’t make it on the day.
    For those who number crunch… (I don’t but I like my photos to have the right captions)

    Digging out my 20 year old 3822 (yes, I’ve still got it!) it turns out I flew twice in WK630. The first time was my second flight on 20/10/91 and the second time was my 9th Chipmunk flight on 24/9/95 both flights from Hurn with 2AEF.

    On the back of a low loader so no ‘wokka wokka’ 🙁

    At 10.45 today two pairs of F15’s flew low (@2000ft) past Boscombe Down heading in a westerly direction.
    Any idea what, where from and why over Boscombe?

    Is there a Chipmunk operating out of Boscombe Down? I was walking around the perimetre fence earlier and saw what looked like a tail dragger taxiing wearing the old red and white RAF colour scheme. Unfortunately is was difficult to positively identify as was 3/4 mile away!

    Pete, I have never been interested in football, and was just “Flicking” through the TV progs as he scored, and I heard thats what he earned, needless to say, I watched a film. Now you know why I nearly got cremated by G.A. the other day, as regards your remark about him being a Brit.;)

    Isn’t earned a strong word for someone who keeps fit (as many people do anyway) and plays football (as many do in parks throughout Britain) for less time a week than full time work?

    Did the Buchon ever have cannons fitted in to the prop spinners as the Me-109 did?

    2 pictures taken of Voyager sat just off runway 17/35 yesterday, must have been having various systems checks and evaluations as was silent for about an hour.
    You might just be able to make aircraft out in centre of picture, I don’t have a zoom on my camera and if you try and take photo from fence you’ll very quickly have company!

    Yesterday when I was walking around perimeter fence I saw 1 Voyager off runway 17/35 but there was also one on apron near weighbridge hangar. Do they now have 2 at Boscombe Down or was this only a visitor?
