I’ve always wondered If Bruce Lawless’ Tempest 5 is still off the coast of Dover or is it Folkestone? This was the first instance of a Tempest being ditched successfully.

The big problem with the Police is that if you have ever met any of them they’re invariably not too bright, Their main mission is to secure a conviction they have nothing at all to do with justice.
If you ever get accused by the Police and end up in court for anything and now that we have majority verdict juries who a lot of our society believe in ‘ no smoke without fire’ your done for.

I don’t know about Duxford but I went to East Kirkby and there were 5000 people there, having said that the site didn’t feel uncomfortably packed and when the 3 Lanc event started there was still plenty of space around. One thing I must comment on was the guys with the large scale models flying, they were superb, their accurate style of flying kept fooling you into thinking they were real.

I was there last year, I went to look at the narrow gauge railway which you can see next to the airfield and noticed all the planes there, Its quite a pleasant spot. The railway is the former Lincolnshire coast light railway which got kicked off the land they were running on further up the coast a while ago.

Here is my video of the Lanc touching down today.Sorry for the shakes I had a fence and a tree putting me off.

I tried to post an image as well but this forum keeps saying invalid file [ its not ]

If you have no luck, I would like to offer to buy your ticket as I am local and haven’t been able to secure a ticket for either event.

If you want it drawn in 3D CAD and CNC machined as a pattern I have both facilities.
