From the rest of the thread, they produce enough slack-jawed dribbling as it is without doing anything more!

You must have flown from Great Sampford, then, but I’m blowed if I can put a name to the tale.

On Sunday I spotted the TwinPin over Oxford. I’d assumed, as there was also a Hawk displaying to the south of town, that it was the display at Abingdon. But the posters say that’s the second bank hol weekend.

So what, one wonders, were they doing?

There is also a memorial window in Little Easton church to the airmen who flew from Great Dunmow (the church itself being only a couple of hundred yards off the airfield). I’m sorry to say I have no pics.

Given the fact that it is largely in one lump, I’d guess maybe it was being operated from the lake (did the Finns do this, Marrti?), and the stub wing folded on approach, causing a stall, or it stalled at a faster speed than expected following the failure of the stub wing in flight.

Looks to me like a heavy landing rather than a catastrophic failure. Would be interesting to see what the official papers say!

but I cannot help but see this activity as plain and simple Trespass

I don’t have my friendly solicitor to hand, but I don’t think trespass exists as a crime anymore. If that is so then silly and potentially dangerous – absolutely. Rude – likewise. But trespass?…

Other people have tadpoles in their ponds…

Did anyone take you up on your offer, or is it still lurking in limbo?
