Ah, so it’s back to the Stone Age of BB code!

Jagx204 – you need to drop Airfix a line, there’s bit’s missing! Seriously, that’s quite a haul – I guess that’s because a lot of Norway is a very very long way from anywhere?
(anyone worked out how to reply to a post directly?)

We must have watched different movies because, while the Mosquitos in 633 are good, the rest of the film is appalling, and the “Lincolns” in The Dambusters are Lancaster VIIs.

Delighted to see the Lysander in the air.

I took Dad to Old Warden for his 80th and theirs made his day – he hadn’t seen one in the air since the war. He won’t ever see this one, but I’m sure his shade was watching.

A swift lug of AVTUR will clear you through much like a night on the real ale, but with considerably less fun and considerably more dodgy tasting belches!

(Young Farmer’s prank – it was paraffin rather than AVTUR, but close enough)

You’re not kidding, Black Knight. She looks gorgeous! The loss of K7 is one of those things that was shown enough when I was young – like the Blue Peter elephant – that I’m half convinced I remember it even though it was actually before I was born.

Funnily enough I have travelled on the same pice of roas as the last Bluebird car – just at 90 degrees to it’s path! It was being demonstrated at RAF Debden and failed to stop at the end of the runway, hurtled across the road, and ended up in a cornfield. I’m pretty sure there’s pictures *somewhere* on this forum.

If anyone is flying out of DX, have alook along the A505 – I’m sure I’ve seen photos of cropmarks of the original WW1 Fowlmere airfield, though I can’t find them on Google Earth

Only last night I was (misquoting, as it turns out) quoting First Light in the condolences book to an ex-pilot. I read it for the first time in Ottakars in Banbury while waiting for my car to be serviced and MOTed (I read fast!), and walked out of the shop with a copy. I’d almost dropped it when I realised he’d flown from Great Sampford. My late father would have seen him flying in and out. I tracked down his address, wrote him a letter, and received a very nice reply. Like so many of you, I’d always hoped to meet him and thank him in person. It’s in front of me now, and this time I will get the quote right.
