K-8, fantastic soaring machine even in weak thermals. Almost did my whole Silver C in 1993 missed duration by 30 mins . Went from Upwood to a field near Stradishall got my Silver C height over Cambridge. Flew 100km triangle 2 up in a K-7 but thats another story. Once did Lyveden to Upwood in late September never got above 1,200 feet all the way. Beautiful handling with a nice cockpit space. Always remember to check the centre piece wing fairing is secure on the preflight.

Probably route direct overhead Lincoln Cathedral, Sleaford,Peterborough,Huntingdon,Royston,Harlow(dependent on Stansted ATC) to Dartford Bridg(to avoid City airport airspace)and then direct to Biggin Hill. Lucky Chris Evans flying Scampton to Biggin in the Lancaster very good on todays show from Scampton ,listen to Jeremy Vine Radio2 at 12 from RAF Biggin Hill. don’t forget the One Show on BBC 1 tonight.

DCW, You deserve a medal for all the excellent news and superb photographs of Duxford. How about it Duxford please recognise DCWs huge contribution in recording warbirds at Duxford.

“Fortresses of the Big Triangle” by Cliff Bishop 1986 has the aerial view of Little Staughton on page 28 very good clarity . It is stated as Crown Copyright . Cliff was selling off copies for £5 recently try East Anglia Books.

Thanks Twin Otter for answering a query.
In 1965-6 I lived in the AMQ at RAF Manby . I can remember seeing the Lancaster fuselage section being used for building work outside the main gates. I can remember peering inside it was in very good condition and used as a bad weather shelter and tool store. I presume the owner was Peter Pumfrey and always wondered how it survived.
