I would just be happy to see the two Air Atlantique DC-6’s in close formation!

Robert, I am not able to read it!

I have been thinking of doing this.

I know that it carries 4 passengers – can you tell me if all the passengers get a window seat?

Very interesting pics of the Air Rhodesia Viscounts.

I remember the one being shot down and at the time very sad about the fact it was a British manufactured aircraft and in particular a Viscount!

His great uncle lives in our village!

Whilst cycling from Southend to West Malling for a USN air show in the early 60’s, I had just passed Leigh-on-Sea when suddenly a KB50 appeared on its way in to West Malling at a very low altitude. It was obviously on its way in from Sculthorpe but it certainly encouraged me to pedal hard as I was still 3 hours away from the airfield (via the Tilbury Ferry!).

All USAF/USN military air shows in those days included a KB50 as standard!

Seeing the Bristol Bulldog go over on its back when landing at the North Weald air show in the early 60’s!

I went from Scotland down to Lakenheath many moons ago to see a bunch of 105s come over for a deployment. Fantastic.

That must have been a sight worth seeing.

I remember seeing the first Phantoms to visit the UK which was at Bentwaters in the early 1960’s. There was both a USAF and a USN example – they were such an usual shape at the time which made them fascinating to watch. Mind you that was well before they became two a penny
