Not too soon in my view, I was thinking a simlar idea lasnight. I havent much money but Id be more than happy to spare a few quid for such a poigniant memorial. Combat pilots & soldiers have their well deserved memorials, so why not the same for our brave historical warbird pilots who give their lives to ensure the memory the of our Fallen Heros continues?

Hi Lee,
A sad day at Shoreham yesterday indeed.
Hi Bex,
Found the Denis a couple of times, but you weren’t with her on either occasion, so I couldn’t say hello. 🙁
I might beat you to the sycamore playground in Crawley as my office is at Gatwick, so if I get a chance this week I may try and find the place in question, but I’m in Guernesy Tues, and in Notts on Weds, so you’ll probably beat me to it. Maybe see you there – we’ll be easy to spot the only nutters taking photos of the long grass!
Cheers on this very sad weekend

Hi Paul,
I think you might have visited the engine when I was given my induction of the “SHoreham Pint” by the other members. On arrival the engine is parked and a bee line for the Spitfire Trailer is made and a pint is had by all. The only other occasion when I wasnt there was, in the lav. Typical, a big bright red fire engine, and I still miss fellow forumites LoL
As for the Cherry Lane play park, unless you have a rug rat with you, you might have a problem, where the Sycamore once lay is now a pay as play area and is supervised by “Play area employees”. However, if u explain the reason for being there, ask to borrow a member of staff for a few minutes and dont take pics of any kids you should be alright.

Efiste, soz for the delay, had a busy weekend 🙁 Right then, Im not sure if u can bomb anything in FS2004. I cant say for sure because I havent tried, so Im now just as curious. What I do know is you can create your own flight plans in FS2004, using the “Create a Flight” option. Im in the middle of reinstalling FS2004 on my PC (PC threw its toys) but by Tuesday if need be I can talk you thru it step by step. My fave flight is a 747 – 2xx from LGW to Atlanta, I get there with low fuel warnings and land with 5% fuel in the tanks LoL
Joysticks make the game really, much more realistic and a darn sight easier. If I had the money Id be getting myself a set of controls from CH, they do proper flight yokes & rudder pedals. Or if youre a smart @ss you could always turn ya spare room into a proper cockpit 😀 Bex
On top of this,it is now reported that rally driver Colin McRae’s helicopter has gone down at Lanarkshire in Scotland,where he comes from,and there are no survivors.
Oh no twice in one day 🙁
Bex
Lee I saw your arrival but my sister with her all singing all dancing camera was ill today so I had to poke up with my ickle digi cam which for moving targets is as much use as a chocolate tea pot LoL nice landing by the way!!!
Bex
PS: Can u tell the Sea Hawk pilot, that it was the first time Id ever seen one airbourne and he REALLY made my day.

Sad Day
I was stood on the back of our fire engine watching the the display at approx 1510 – 1515 ish, the Hurricane just vanished into the hill by the Lancing College, loads of people stood near the crash site and amazingly he missed them. I have no idea what went wrong, its not something Im going to forget in hurry. My sincere condolences to the pilots family 🙁 Bex
Hopefully see you all there, so unless a certain red thing goes bang in the morning all is well LoL Bex
As to your p.s., just wait until Willip26 gets back from holiday!
p.s. did you take the photograph of the Cherry Lane Adventure Playground where the fuselage of the Sycamore used to be?
LoL I must admit Willip has got a fine sense of humour 😀 As for Cherry Lane, my poxy sister has been in hospital and has just about managed to muck any plans Ive had recently so once she decides to stop bein daft and start being well again I can nip over there and grab a few shots.

Changed the thread Title for clarity as requested.

Dont wish to seem rude or upset anyone, but the idea behind this particular thread was just to let fellow forumites that if they wanted to say Hi Id be at Shoreham on Saturday, and how to find me and that I would NOT be there on Sunday. Bex
P.S: As the title has been changed, if anyone wishes to use this thread to discuss Shoreham in anway shape or form, please feel free to natter away. 😀 Bex
Very nice roar, glad I had the house to myself today, my speakers had a VERY good work out LoL 😀 Bex
Lee, thanks for the update, youve just made my day 😀 So looks like I better take some rope tomorrow if she’s gonna be at Shoreham, so I dont fall the engine LoL THanks again. Bex
Excellent, thanks for that Paul 😀 Bex
Saturday 15th
As the thread title has been changed, I just wanted to clarify that I will only be at Shoreham on the 15th and look forward to meeting any fellow Forumites that will be there. As I have not got my uniform yet, I will be wearing a green flight suit & black baseball cap so I will be easy to spot not only due to being the youngest LoL
Bex
Am I the only one that does not like the look of the 787? Hope it will grow on me.
See post #2 😀 Bex
Just being in the same place as 3 Hurricanes is enough for me, just hope I get long enuff away from the engine to see them :diablo: Bex
