Both gliders flown by Graham Saw, Cosmic Wind by Pete Kinsey….all this aerial wonderfulness AND the Napier Railton burbled up and down the flight line. Another magic day, if a tad chilly by the end!

Excellent photos and informative comments, thanks for posting.

Pity there was no advance warning of this..could’ve nipped up the road to Gaydon for a look.
The Motor museum at Gaydon is well worth a visit too.

Thanks for the new (working) link. Brought back great memories….I also remember the Exeter TT Mosquitos flying over Plymouth and Torpoint…and used to pass the Paradise Road Civil Defence site with the Sea Hornet propped up in it, every day on the bus ride to school.My father was AEO of 831 at Culdrose when they still operated Avengers alongside the ECM Sea Venoms…happy weekends at the station sitting in the a/c, when not sitting under the approach on the Helston road watching Skyraiders, Gannets, Brigands, Neptunes, Shacks, Sea Balliols, Vixens, Vampires, Venoms and Scimitars….and assorted USAF and NATO visitors.

I’ve bought every copy of both since they were published and they are a treasured archive of great value to me (an opinion not shared by mrs slicer unfortunately). I’d be sad to see either go although AM wins by a nose in the favoured stakes.

This appeared one day some years ago parked in the driveway of my parent’s next door neighbour (who works at Rendcombe)…it was a display airframe. Don’t know about the underlying provenance of it, though.

Hmm. If you thought Duxford was bad traffic-wise last Sunday, I would hate to think what Northolt would be like, adjacent to the A40 with limited airfield access, in deepest suburbia. No naughty fields to speak of either. It’s a very attractive and historic proposition, but logistically tricky I would think.

OK then…Thom, are you listening? We’d love to see y’all.
