Thank you for support my Arm Waving Friend!
Good point, well presented. 😀
One tries….
There are more exciting types than Spitfires…
I love the rasp of a P&W powered blade….
look out for quality Beech 18 and Harvard porn therein!
I’m starting to worry about you…
No worse than people getting unnecessary about Spitfires… Quite understandable to me…
And who’s to say it’s not the IRA? :confused:
It doesn’t seem to be their “Style” for want of of a better phrase.
As far as we know all my family are accounted for too.

It’s such a horrid thing to happen. I suppose it was a good thing it wasn’t rush hour.
Mythoughts are with those caught up in this travesty. Just hope members of my family are safe.

If you want to see Vintage & Classic GA come to Turweston in September for the VAC event.
I agree with Skybolt. The last couple of years the weather has not been too favourable to the PFA/FFF rally. I’m heavily involved with the VAC and so far this year we’ve suffered from the weather too as many others will testify. I know how much organisation goes into events such as our small VAC ones and the likes of Abingdon Fayre so the weather must have been a blow for them.
The VAC has suffered from the negative GA image with the trouble at TW over the last 12+ months (although we are back there in for the rest of 2005). Let talk it up folks otherwise the pilots amongst you will have less and less choice as where to go and even more restrictions.
Don’t knock the enthusiasts (I know some are cretinous and some have dubious motives and drives) but remember they are also amongst those who will write to MP’s, local councils and so forth and help fight your corner.
Don’t forget the likes of myself, and my team who marshal, do it at our own expense for little or more often no reward and just for the love of all things that fly.
Another 2 penneth in the pile.
Sad to say I didn’t go to PFA/FFF this year but I have been regularly in the past.

It is very possible. The book although readable does seem a tad sensational at times about stuff but my copy dates from 1967 and we probably know a lot more now than we did then. Or with more clarity.
There is sugguestion in what I’ve read so far that there was a lot of copying of ideas and the like
How do “Stormer”…
Not a bad book. One of several I have on the go at the moment…
Contains some intersting bits and bobs in it including the Anthony Fokker saga you intimated.
I quite agree a talented man. According to the book he went by the addage of “If it looks right…” How much creedence you can put to it is another matter but makes for an interesting read.
Hope you are keeping as well as can be

It is hard sometimes to decide what to go to as many things clash – Fly-ins with each other, airshow with each other… I think we are very fortunate to be in this situation over here and probably take it for granted – a big mistake if all the changes and charges hit us over the next couple of years…
You been reading the “Iron Men on Wooden Wings” book?
Not odd really.
Methwold was the same station as Feltwell and there is a dedicated CWGC section in the (round tower) churchyard at Feltwell. All the RAF bods are in there.

That would explain the absence of any graves.
There’s only a few buildings left at Methwold anyway. There is a good local book on local airfields and what is left at them. I have it at home though so can’t remember the title. Something on the lines of Ghost Airfields of Norfolk.
Oh and this weekend I’m waving at helicopters for the Grand Prix weekend at TW.
The air side of it gets less and less every year… 🙁
