At the end of last weeks episode they shown a preview of the next weeks show. They showed a man sitting behind a desk and just as I was thinking wasn’t that the man that used to run Ruskin Airways, one of his Dakotas landed behind him.

Cheers Olly, it was a bit too far away for me to I.D. the undercarriage. And talking of things too far away I’ve just spent 10 minutes watching a Spitfire display over Burnham Green Village Day. Said village is over 2 miles from W.G.C. and I couldn’t I.D. the particular aircraft, but it will be one from John Romain’s stable (local lad). Perhaps I may find out later when the day’s pix appear on the Duxford thread.

from Datchworth it could have been the PR XI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k3wjSltJ1w – sorry!

He was shot down once, from memory roughly between his Albatros days and getting his first Triplane. The head wound was said to be so deep that you could see the white of his skull. Must have worn extra protection afterwards. I think he was supposed to of had a bit of a relationship with his nurse. Someone on here will be able to give you much clearer details.

the BBC has said 3 Spitfires are not affected. I’m assuming that means the Packard Merlin is alright.

Aren’t the carbs different on the Packards, that could be the problem.

Anyone else flying Rolls-Royce Merlin aircraft today?

EDIT – just thought the BBC’s information might be out of date and they think the BBMF still has 3 PRXIXs

had a little google, but didn’t find much.
