I like men in uniform 😉
I’m just kidding 😀 lol

When I was little my dad used to take me to air shows before he died and I just have a love for all things aviation. Plus I was obsessed with all old airfields as a child, and at school I remember doing a summer History homework assignment on the airfields of Lincolnshire, got an A in it as well 😀

I know nothing about engineering and I wouldn’t know how to fly a plane, I just love being able to sit at Coningsby every once in a while and photograph what ever shows up 🙂
Ok fine I’m a spotter :p:D lol But that’s what happeneds when you have Waddington on one side of you house and scampton on the other lol.
Before they built all the houses behind us, we had a lovely view of both flight paths 😀

I agree, check out the viewing guide

Personally I just like to sit and watch from the main veiwing area, and you can get nice shots if they come in that direction, and nice take off shots if they take off the other end. But I only have a cheapish digital camera so it wouldn’t matter where I stood lol

I’m probably wrong as usual ;):D but the TF and DA will be combined as it would have been Friday if the weather hadn’t defeated them. So it’ll be *fingers crossed* one flight, from what I understand.

It’s just a case of getting everyone important (Flight crew, CAA e.t.c.) all in the same place at the same time as well as good weather.

Fantastic vids/photos guys!!

Dispite the weather I had the best time, I take my hat off to everyone who was involved!! amazing day!!

Here’s a couple of my vids

This is just incase the embeding doesn’t work (not tried it before :D) same as above.

Bullshooter : I am as mortal as you . You clearly stated that you were being given stick for remaining anonymous – whereas the truth was that you were giving other people the stick . So please by all means give me a jokey reply about how some people pick up on spelling or grammer rather than by saying what you posted was wrong . I have always posted under my own name and don’t see any real reason why others don’t.

Well for my part it’s purly because at school, then college then at uni we were all told never give out personal info on message boards (names included), and as this isn’t the only forum I post on (the rest have nothing to to with aviation with one exception) it’s just habit I suppose.

Helen, no experience with aviation at all 😀 lol.

Sorry to be “blinkered”, but I think it’s high time to just let sleeping dogs lie (at least for a couple of hours at any rate :p 😉 😀 lol) or what ever that saying is, and enjoy what so many people have worked so hard for.

(yes that is me doing the aweful commentary 😀 lol)

She’s fully servicable and that’s all I care about at this moment in time 🙂 I hope the CAA get a move on with the permit and the money keeps coming so she’ll be at an air show soon!!
Big congrats to all the engineers, crew, volunteers, all the behind the scenes people and anyone I’ve missed out plus all the those who have given money!!

ok i’ve finished gushing 😉 😀 back to the debate :p 😀

16:00 ish Lancaster heading home? over my house (NE Lincoln), always a pleasure to see her.
