Sat morning at about 11:00hrs a Spitfire did a nice Victory roll over my house south of SantaPod heading North to Sywell ?. It was all done at a safe height and looked and sounded really nice ,thank you. It was brown/green colour scheme and I am wondering if it was a Duxford machine ?
Thanks for the Dan Air CK photo. Spent many happy hours on the flight deck ,my father was a Captain on them out of Luton and then 727s out of Manchester.
The Catalina purred over my house heading east to Duxford about 13:25hrs yesterday from Podington direction. Sounded very smooth. Nice to see a flying boat around these parts.
Upwood was used for filming “Appointment in London” Hemswell was used for “The Dambusters”. The film “Night Bombers “was shot at Hemswell in 1944/5 and is in colour. Best documentary film of Lancaster operations . Hope this clears up any confusion.
Despite the biting cold NE wind a fantastic turn out for the opening ,the car park was full. A great thank you to Peter Teichman of Hangar 11 who gave a wonderful display in Spitfire XI PL965 from North Weald. The B.E.2c,Fokker Triplane and 2 Tiger Moths were parked close to the fence for the audience. Well done Ben and helpers in the new extension and to the vintage WW2 vehicles , Pitsford Home Guard and the girl singers for making it a good event.
Nice to meet G-ASEA and Low N’Slow. 🙂
