I would love to attend more events – but it is expensive. I took my collection of Catalina stuff to CockpitFest this year; it was the cheapest show I have done there as it all fitted inside my usual car so only cost £60 in diesel – that said, it was not as satisfying as most years. We were as far away from the entrance as you could get! It also went to Felixstowe.
I did the BoB weekend at the RAF Museum with the Mk1 on 15th Sept – it was great fun and we had huge interest which was nice – the down side was van rental plus fuel – so £200 to do.
We use a horse box for local shows. Some of the best fun is at Durrington Village Show.
There are those on this forum who don’t give a monkeys if we fade away – but we do try our bit to further education and fun for future generations. Seeing all sorts of people, young, old, in/out of wheelchairs looking at my spitfire cockpits at Duxford last year made it all worthwhile. Where else can anyone look inside a spitfire like that?
