    Thanks for the heads up, I also enjoyed it.

    Afterwards saw a preview for a program called Dust Up! – http://press.discovery.com/uk/quest/programs/dust/

    Actually no. Being a FoD I have paid my entrance for all 365 days (Airshows apart)

    Have you?

    I think you should ask for a refund!

    Perhaps it will get a repaint. No disrespect to Douglas Bader, but there are pilots whose names have been forgotten who deserve just as much respect.

    Would be nice to see it painted in the colours of pilot that is still with us, no matter how big or small his contribution was. We won’t be able to see the smile of a WW2 pilot on seeing a restored Hurricane (or Spitfire) in his colours for many more years.

    Thats definately not the case. They do watch the carpark quite closely.

    Rob

    They didn’t notice who smashed my car window hoping to get a free computer, only to lift the lid and see my sons 1/32 Zero staring back at him!

    Duxford Monday 8th October:

    The Criquet was quickly dismantled and despatched to Germany:

    The germans rightfully don’t care which factory it was made at, just who designed it.

    As has been mentioned many times before it’s not a Ju52 but an Amiot AAC.1 Toucan, built post war. :diablo:

    Brian

    The RE8, Albatros and Snipe are post-war built by Jackson, but they look like the originals to me. I’m sure the IWM wouldn’t kick them out if they were offered.

    I think you sniffed too much model glue and got confused with the models hanging from your ceiling.

    Hopefully we’ll get to Kempston soon. We’re on Luton’s route, so everything interesting avoids us.

    Everything flies over your house!! Does every warbird pilot decide to waggle his wing’s over T-21’s house or do you spend all day on your roof with the bonculars.

    More defiants
    More Gladiators

    And lots of German airman crying because they had not been shot down by a Spit
