    Just got back from Brieghton. Dam it was cold 😡 😡 . But on the up side we had an unexpected visit from an RAF Sea king. Had a quick poke around inside. (could have been my office if I had`nt changed my mind). Any way there are two other Jungmans at Brieghton. One has a Spanish scheme and the other is the yellow and black chequer board Jungman G-TAFF wich belongs to the airfield owner. This aircraft is in a million pieces at the moment. There are also two Jungmiester`s.

    It`s a shame. These people are the reason I am followed at SOME museums and shows. Though maybe Elvington are a bit fanatical. (I am sure they employ a private detective just for my visits). It`s a difficult situation. On one hand I must admit quite few 21 year old lads might be hooligans,vandals what ever you want to call us. On the other there are very, very few of us who are intrested in aviation history (or history in general). Try not to disscourage too many of us. Aeroventure (an excellent museum) were very welcoming to me but at the same time had(s) problems with young people. I even met there pet vandal `rat boy`. To sum up my slightly off topic rambling. Dont tar us all with the same brush. It`s not just young people. And most importantly, with all due respect the people who run our museums will not live for ever. Young people must be encouraged. Thank you for listening. sorry for spelling I am sure its terrible.

    I think the mosquito at Elvington started with a cockpit section used in the film. Bought for I think something like £7. What else survives ?

    Did they burn real mosquitoes in the crash scenes. They look pretty real to me.

    In the credits for this film was The Skyfame Collection. I see this name quite often but know nothing about it. Is it the aircraft that went to Duxford when it first opened ? Could somebody please enlighten me.

    Elvington any year. Always rains, always over priced and always the same displays. Gave it a miss this year and went to Sherburn wich was free. I saw most of the aircraft pass over brieghton that evening any way.
