Totally agree with the window one! These people who shut the blinds, should ask around to swap, so ‘saddos’ like me can take 400 shots of the sea and perhaps a couple of the holiday itself (a bone of contention in my house 😀 😀 )
But……..the most annoying thing, is my Mrs, who kicks off with anybody who reclines at all, at ANY time.Then expects me to back her up! 😮
The last time was on our trip to South Africa. A 12 hour flight, and she refused to let the poor ****** in front recline at any point.I mean ok, she’s 6’2″ and an ex- lifeguard (no bullsh*t), but it’s hardly passenger in front’s problem. 🙁
God, I hope she don’t read this I’ll be dead! 😮 😀

P.S. I have attached a photo below, of said person in said situation.I mean who’s gonna argue with THAT!! 😀 😀 (Scary Mary or what)
No probs John.
I’ll be there over the weekend, however I am ‘on call’ with work, so may be in and out.Don’t worry though, they’ll be plenty of volunteers around and I dare say some ‘open’ aircraft.
Look forward to seeing you (hopefully 😀 )
Cheers
Kev 🙂
Weekends are normally the best for a visit, as there is usually more volunteers about.However there is a strong presence in the week also now, with several working parties.
As far as events and specific ‘open cockpit’ days, my memory is appalling so I will find out and post later. 😀
If you read this in time, and your in the area (where’s South Ferriby?), I’ll be there all day until around 1530, and would be happy to do you a little tour.
Hope that helps.
Kev 🙂
Phillip, I know what you mean.Someone I know has just had a multipule thousand pound grant to have his cottage roof re-thatched, in a village of thatched roofs.
Also a local ‘eyesore’ pub near me built in the 70’s, and renowned for trouble has been given ‘listed’ status.It seems loads of ‘airy fairy’ and quite clearly crap objects of our ‘heritage’, get unlimited sums thrown at them, why not aviation too.Come on, it’s changed the whole world, made it affordable to travel to millions, alot more important than a layer of straw to keep the rain out and to give something for the American’s to photograph in the Cotswolds!! 😡
Sorry folks, rant over………………..phew that’s better 😀
Cheers
Kev 🙂 (very drunk and now stewing over heritage issues)
See said post! 😉
GAWD BLESS YA ARE KID………YAM YAM YAM YAM …….YAM ARE SAFT..etc
Kev
Part-timer!!!…..tut tut tut ……..5 hours I was there before I got called out. 😀
Cheeky kids! 😉
Anyway, all I could hear was the sound of inverters and you twiddling with your knob/knobs (on the Hunter of course 😮 )
Over and out!
Kev 😉
I reckon our Pete looks better in the dark too!! :diablo:
Only joking mate, cracking pics. They came out better than I thought! 🙂
See you soon.
Kev
No mate, was doing some work round the corner, heard all the commotion and went to have a look.
I took the pic then just after, but a couple of people parked down rock farm road saw it and that’s all I know.
Cheers
Kev 🙂
I assisted when it arrived, but I am not aware of the circumstances of the ‘arrangement’.
Best thing I can do is refer you back to the museum, as I wouldn’t want to speculate not knowing what the respective parties have agreed.
Take care,
Kev 🙂
Yes we are 🙂
All donations welcome. I’m sure we could find space for a single engine prop lol. 😉
Pen Pusher, lovely pics there, sorry about the weather 🙁
Mind you, it could have been worse though (see pic below) 😀
Cheers
Kev
Sorry mate didn’t see the Spitfire.
There are two SAAF museums, one at Cape Town, and one at Pretoria, maybe it’s at that one.
It may have been at this one but security was very tight as mentioned above, so I’m not sure.
Cheers
Kev 🙂
Cheers for the info on the flags and looooong taxi ! 🙂
PMSL at that piccy, I’ve added it to my holiday photo CD, see if anyone comments lol 😀 😀 😀 😀
I’ve attached a couple of my other pics, I wonder if that’s the same Giraffe in Tenthiji’s pic? :rolleyes: ( I took these whilst on a safari truck near Wilderness)
Cheers
Kev
Cheers for that Wildcat 🙂
