Sehr Gut.
The watch office is very similar to Bicester but there are too many hangars if they are all at the same airfield.
I’ll partake of a cuppa with you M-o-t-F… Vienese whirl with that…?
…and I was just asking a question as I thought it was unusual…
I know that last year one well respected and experienced pilot was told to land at one event I was at as he had a passenger on board who was clearly just that.
I’m sure that PS are operators who wouldn’t flaunt the rules.
It was just an idle query.
Please keep posting the pictures please folks… And lets not get into a “bitchfest” eh?
re – JBS’s thumbs up photo… I thought you weren’t allowed to take passengers during a display…?
Vigilante.
Love the one of the Spitfire against the clouds…

Forgot I some information on the PC here…
33 Squadron were at Bicester from November 1930 until November 1934.
See this earlier thread with all the details…

Sadly the pilot didn’t make it. Thoughts as always with the family…

B-25 Mitchell?
Der…
Lovely H&S laws regarding the proximity of diggers that operate above head height and lifting things…
And as with al the good things, also this must come to a end. I close with the Stieglitz owned by AJBS. After the busy day, it is pulled back in the hangar. The show has come to a end.
Looks like it’s being pushed to me!!!! :p 😀 😀 😀
Brilliant collection of photos there… Thanks & all the best.

Looking at the aerial shots and having worked at DLO (formerly DCTA) Caversfield I would say that they are Bicester. K2441(?) is almost certainly over Bicester as the curling line on the left is the railway they had on base and matches the maps I have seen. Also the aerial view of just the site also matches what I know of the site. Fantastic!!! So nice to see the airfield in it’s proper use and before full expansion (and arrival of the prototype Halifax for her maiden flight).
Thanks again.

She was lovely… had flown in a Rapide before but she was something else… Lovely side slip into Waterford looking out the window at the runway lights.
Her future is a bit obscure at the moment after Aer Lingus had their money troubles… Aparently she sits in the back of a hangar awaiting whatever the future holds… Thanks to JJ and her regular attendance at the VAC/CAACI Anglo-Irish fly-ins Mum, Dad and my two siblings have all flown in her at one time or another…
I’d have to make sure I wasn’t arm waving as I think the Orange would clash wickedly with the yellow!!! Would be nice to get flown again…
Haven’t been up since ’01 (flew over Silverstone on GP weekend out of TW in a Robin and before that ’98 Iolar – EI-ABI – at Waterford… – I suddenly feel depressed!!)
Time to pester some people and call in a few promises…
True… Don’t ask don’t get and worst he can say is no…
If the Oxford turns out as good as the Hawk… The finish apears to be better than new.
I believe it is yes… Last known still broken down awaiting re-assembly. Was pictured on a thread on here a while ago…
