Whilst “working from home” have just been watching a large silver bird circling the tower at Parham – brilliant. Quite emotional really – left me a bit speechless, in the same way that the BBMF does sometimes.
Many thanks to BeaufighterV1 and TFC blogspot for heads up. It would be interesting to hear what Don Brooks’ thoughts are about the reception they’ve had in the UK so far, as it appears a little low key at times. I’m sure that will all change at the w/e

Didn’t see it, but heard it in North Ipswich and I think later again at about 4pm. Was going to post a request for info but all now becomes clear.
Surprised to hear that it will be based so close to home. Any ideas as to why?
We’re lucky in being able to see Mr Hammond’s toys buzzing around the Suffolk skies on occasion, so this will give another shape for my kids to look out for.:)

Thanks for posting and solving the mystery. My 8 year old son was convinced that the one on the right was a P40 – having read the “US Army” markings – his eyesight obviously far better than mine.
Now really wish I’d gone with my gut feeling and headed up the road to Hardwick. Doh!
What a fantastic looking event, does this happen on last open day every year?

🙂 Went for a couple of hours, missed arrival of convoy but great collection of vehicles.
Usual polished display by Sally B, Rob Davies and Maurice Hammond – lots of local “casual” visitors really got their money’s worth.
Some very impressive low passes over the wheat fields towards the tower.
The museum is superb and well worth a visit.
Let’s hope next year the windfarm won’t have intervened and we’ll see Sally B and Liberty Belle over Parham.

Pair of Mustangs over Ickworth House (Bury St Edmunds) yesterday, heading East – assume Maurice Hammond and Rob Davies.
