How far away from Bruntingthorpe is not that far away? Apart from RAF bases and East Midlands airport, can’t think of anywhere suitable for a Vulcan relatively close to Brunty

Would depend on the meaning how close.
Liecester or Coventry just up the road . not sure of the state of play regarding the runways etc. ?

A few valid points being brought up.

also could not entry to the Airfield be by a donation for the TVOC Charity.
this surely makes it a non profit event but a charity event . the TVOC is a registered charity is it not.

Like a few pointers David Burke as mentioned. its just a take off test flight and land.

How does Duxford manage it when they are a load of people in the week or weekend at the airfield when test flights and practice displays are in progress. this would be normal aircraft movements . what Defines an Airshow.

If say i was on a day visit to Duxford and see a new out the rebuild shed a Spit on 1st test flight. also that same day a few practice displays by a few other resident types.

This must be classed as an airshow.
As i have paid to enter along with say 6 coach loads of school kids, and a few coaches of OAP’s on a day trip out.
what would it be classed as then.

Duxford being a Public airfield i guess. and Brunti a private airfield. the Private airfield i would have thought would have lesser restrictions with it being a private event.?

Hi…

Midland Counties in Hinckley have a rather large aviation second hand section…well worth a look!

Must go along with this warehouse . full of aviation books mags etc new and 2nd hand. a short drive up the M69 from Cov to Hinckly turn off A5 north for about 1 mile . Midland counties is on the New industrial estate . ON YOUR RIGHT .

like i said about 5 minutes drive from the outskirts of Cov M6 . TO M69 . to A5

also as been posted above and just a short distance down the A46 from the M6 is Coventry air museum. kill to birds with 1 stone here by having a good look around the museum based aircraft and the selection of books and models. i would say you could go from the Museum to midland counties book warhouse by car in around 15 minutes at legal speeds.

Nice effect im sure this type of image is really best viewed in a large print format for the best effect.

done a bit of this type of work in the past and on a PC monitor just doe not do it any justice, would suggest you have a few shots done out in poster or at leats A3 . nice pics .

Edit

just checked those images on 360 on your web site .
must say they are stunning the effect is great . what a diffrence to the normal way images are shot.
great work

Some smashing pictures .
and nice to sepak to you on Sunday . cheers Rich.

Could this be anything to do with the possibilty of the Vulcan doing a bit of a round-robin at both shows?

Just wondering out loud…

No. the dates where in place well before the 1st flight of 558.

The centrefold is amazing, 474 in her new colours over the Derwent Dam.

If you’ve not seen it, join and get a free copy of the journal!!

Must agree that center fold picture by John Dibbs of the Lancaster over the Derwent Dam is a cracking image . The whole Journal is excellent thou. and worth £3 of anyones money . go get a copy.

Poppy red anyone?
