Ah, those were the days…Concorde at Old Warden, Ray Hanna and the valley at Biggin, and the regular dropping of the “illegally parked car” from a Whirlwind at great height at Culdrose Air Days of the 60’s. Priceless memories.

Well, Banbury has a march-past to commemorate the Battle of Britain, a famous conflict fought in ….1941, according to the hand-out. Give me strength!!

I remember looking out at those large empty fields from the train..there was a nice cricket pavilion there as well, if I recall correctly. The Museum was very well situated when first built, now utterly buried by development. Pity.

(Looks like the pavilion and pitch are still there, just NW of the RAFM.)

An inspirational man. Another one where the mould is broken with their passing.

RIP

It’ll all be worth it in the end….think of the fun you’ll have…..

Brings back fond memories of Old Warden’s LVG CVI….

Glad you liked them, Eric. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Primary glider on long finals, though!!
The only time you’ll find me flying a Primary is suspended from a tripod in a strong wind.
It was an enjoyable day at Lasham, although rarities from the Continent were a bit thin on the ground I thought. Still, many thanks to all of you who made the effort to cross the Channel and entertain us.
