    ….Slightly disappointed that you didn’t feature the two Airtourers though. We would have been three but one owner got stuck at the back of his hangar and was late arriving.

    We managed 3 by the end of the day.

    I did try to sort the aeroplanes out into vague themes and glad the Moths and the Tipsy’s worked.
    Final total was 44 visitors on the day too.

    Lovely photos gents.

    The wind was just a little frustrating to say the least. Frustrating when there to arm-wave and nowt much to wave at – never mind always tomorrow…

    Wow the Blenheim looks fabulous! I would love to see her at Bicester – a Mark 1 back at a proper period former Blenheim airfield! RAF of Finnish scheme would be appropriate as there are photos of the Finnish ones at Bicester.
    A remarkable piece of work. Full credit and respect to those responsible for her.

    Having worked at Lakenheath (in Airfield Management) I am not convinced it is there although more than happy to be wrong…

    Could the brevet be from their fathers and worn to remember them?
    ATC cadets would surely have been older than these chaps appear to be, besides if 1940 they would be ADCC (Air Defence Cadet Corps) as the ATC was formed in 1941. 😉

    Most attention that airplane had in decades!

    (what is it now? remember seeing topic on it and others here)

    She is the Sea Prince at Long Marston.
    The props still move btw and there is oil all over the underside filters on the engines but she is a gutted wreck sadly..
    There are detail photos on my flickr account but cannot get link to. work on this stupid phone….

    IIRC the crew members that died were recovered and buried around the time of the crash.

    I have to say I think the rectangle and the shape above it look like it could have been “staining” from a number plate and associated illuminating light… Sorry not much help I know..

    I always remember Ced Hughes at 5AEF reminding you to pull the handle once clear of the aircraft as the film didn’t actually tell you to do it. How to yes but to do no.
    He also said never worry if as you float down over the Cambridgeshire countryside if you hear a brass band. Don’t worry it will be him with a welcoming committee to pin a medal on you for being the first to jump for “x” years and not your final calling…

    As far as I am aware she is just painted in Canadian colours to be different. I will have to ask the owner next time I see him.
