Anyway it managed to mate my interests together of aviation,cycling and countryside…..what could be better !

Anyone know the history of this which had a misshap on it’s way to Mars ! 😉

Last noted in Rendlesham forest by some American servicemen.

Nice shot, good to see Buchons making bit of a comeback. Must be time for a ‘Post your Buchons’ thread.

Do I need to make an appointment for an eye test? At approximately 1.00pm today I believe I saw a glider thermaling prior to disappearing into heavy cloud over the north of Ipswich. Can’t think of where it may have come from unless taking off from Crowfield.

Also, would I have seen P47 (Snafu) returning to Duxford after flight testing, again over the north of Ipswich, at approximately 4.00pm on Saturday 21st April?

Not too sure about your glider, but you certainly didn’t see the P-47, may have been the Grace Spitfire heading to Duxford from Bentwaters.

Here is one of mine for now heading out for its first flight.

I would have thought the engine cowlings would be more damaged if the prop had suffered that much damage.

Thanks for posting, good to see some film from one of my local airfields.

Very sad.

There is one such company that specialises in painting helmets based in the former 92fis headquarters building at Shepherds Grove, a regular customer is Lewis Hamilton and Maurice Hammond also had his helmet painted there.
