More than happy to stand corrected! 😉

It’s just that Dave Brett always insisted that the photo was Andrewfield…and I didn’t really question it to be honest. Probably because the image also got used on the book on Andrewsfield!…Come to think of it, those pylons in the background do look a bit suss to be Andrewsfield!

I have heard that Mr Bullock did beat up Andrewsfield on a few ocassions…impressive I’m sure, but the very low altitude does leave me a bit cold!

I’ve had a look on the OS and I can’t see a line of pylons near Andrewsfield – but they might be several miles off, and the scale of the excerpt doesn’t make it easy to search around. That said, there have been pictures of Don Bulock flying Sally B at JESUS-FLAMIN’-H-CHRIST! height at Andrewsfield posted here in the past. If the search facility has been unclogged, try searching for “Young farmers”…

“All my own work”

or perhaps

“Here’s one I made earlier”.

If you are going to have engine problem, you might as well do it thoroughly!

A naval shell? That was one hell of an overshoot …

Anyone want to take a small bet that it’s a German bomb minus its tailfins?

The one I found was descibed as a shell by the plods, despite coming from a known wreck site… OK, it did look like one, and they presumably weren’t as geeky as me, but…

If anyone I hear of organises anything, I’ll be in touch – I’d give my eye teeth to see a Be2 over RFC Port Meadow (or even better, on it – though that might be a different matter!).

Then there was that 71 Mach1 that I flogged to mate, he did it up & ran it around in primer for a bit, unintentionally it making resemble an HE219 Uhu in the process 😀

Somebody round here had a Jag XJ6 with a big-bore exhaust, brush-painted in matt black with sprayed grey nightfighter camo squiggles. Sadly it never passed when I had a camera handy, because it looked and sounded seriously scary.

My day needed brightening. That has succeeded bigtime!:D
