Hi all,
After lots of digging in the loft I havent found the shots of the Victor landing,:mad:
I have the ‘landed’ ones so these will have to do sorry, its really bugging me to be honest
1993 was a busy year, Brunty had her first airshow (big thunder) in July which was really good fun, with loads of visting aircraft, the two Buccs doing a low level beat up along the length of the runway will stick in my memory for ever [;)]
We ran our first ‘simulated pairs’ take off which was impressive to say the least
Anyway at the end of the year November we had two aircraft delivered on the same day, the Victor XM715 for Davids BAH collection and the first Camberra XH568, they arrived within an hour of each other, sadly 568 is not longer of this world
And then the Camberra
Quite a day, and b***** cold as well [;)]
Cheers
Hi all 😉
1993 ended up being a ‘big’ year at Bruntingthorpe, in Jan we took delivery of 904 and in the middle of March David told us about ‘this Vulcan ‘thing’ that was in the ‘offing’. :rolleyes:
He invited some of us to join him and his family to fly over to Waddington to watch 558 leave, so on that windy and cold March morning we arrived early, towed both of ours out to the reception pan and waited for the DC3.
I forgot my camera ! Doh :rolleyes:
So brought I disposable one on the way and wasnt happy with it, as it played up all day 😮
9am The ‘Taxy’ arrives
Landed at Waddo
Here she comes
There she goes
And then back to Brunty
I missed the landing as I was fighting with the camera, so just watched it.
When the crowds had gone we got close, even learnt how to attach the two bar and towed it the next day
And that unfortunatley is all I got, as the camera kept packing up, but I did have a great day 😉
I know it wouldn’t look pretty, but would it at least help keeping the elements out if you (insert ‘someone’) were to rivet over a sheet of aluminum with a bit o sealant around it. Like I said, it’s not pretty, but I a ‘proper’ fix sounds like a great deal of work. At least it would keep some of the weather out.
Does anyone have any photos that they could share of her arriving at Bruntingthorpe?
Hearing everything Rich, if you need our help just call on us any Saturday, we will help you guys out, just shout 🙂
VX927, yes I was there that day in the summer of 1995
I got a call at lunch, made my excuses and dashed off only to get stuck on the bl**** M1 so I was 1/2 hour late !!!!!!!! 😡
But go this shot, her engines were still ‘ticking’ 😉
If anyone interested Ive been there for most of the Brunty arrivals over the last 20 years, got some nice piccies 😉
Rich, dont despair mate, we will give you a hand 🙂
Cheers all
Right, found them :rolleyes:
Scanned them :rolleyes:
Are you ready ? Theres no hiding behind the cushions :rolleyes:
The line of wrecks
Intakes
And Ive found one of 903 not that many years after she arrived at Elvington
Give photobucket a chance to sort its self out !
Cheers
