Did you see the scans Flight put on their website taken at Mildenhall before race start?

Thanks for the lead BlueRobin

If you’re “in” to 1930 aeroplanes, take a look at all the Flight images on that website. They are just stunning!

A small but significant change in forecast for Monday

Just saw national BBC weather forecast on TV for Monday. Wet over east England but over far south east, including Southend it might even be dry and bright for much of the morning. Dry perhaps afternoon as well with less/no sun pm but not guaranteed we will escape showers.

There is hope for tomorrow yet but breeze could be a problem.

I bet you’re regretting posting this right now!!:diablo:

I think the Bond movie sequence (filmed at Northolt) was done with smoke and mirrors, or at least models and special effects.

I seem to remember it was done with a very large Dodge pickup truck and a long boom with the aeroplane on the end of it. I’ll try to dig out a photo!

A pity to see the BD5 down in Australia. It was powered by a converted Nissan Micra (honest!) engine, but apparently suffered an engine failure just after take-off. Apparently the pilot is recovering from minor burns and a back injury.

Beautiful shots and the Lizzie makes it all the more emotive. Congratulations!

Glad to see Lucy’s bum looks just as good in the new suits:D

Get down Shep! – again! 😀

Crikey Bod – you kept those close to your chest!

I’m a bit worried about all that left rudder to keep straight on take off though!! :diablo:

[QUOTE=peter;1109068]What are you working on?QUOTE]

Still in the ruddy office, with piles of boring worky things to do, on (yet another) perfect flying evening with a (hopefully) servicable aeroplane sitting in the hangar…………

grrrrrr……….:mad:

Roll on the weekend. Anyone going to Abingdon??
