Just found this pic. Can’t remember the date, tho. Late 80s?
More like late 90’s by the look of the building behind it. 😉
Why do all Duxford related posts generate such a fuss?
I was wondering that myself.
Oh what a surprise. Yet again a stupid thread and yet again it is on Historic forum on key. Now gents behave yourselves. save the bickering for later its pathetic that you guys do this. This thread is not doing the IWM any favours and as someone who worked under both regimes in the past I am sure that the museum is doing its best to sort this minor problem out should infact arise.
Stop the bickering ok?
92fis do not stur trouble these sort of threads are pointless as you well know so why start it?
Who’s sturring trouble, The info came from the IWM AirSpace newsletter so i’m sure if they didn’t want people to know they wouldn’t have said anything.
Why don’t you all wait and see what can and can’t be fitted in, before blurting out alegations and potentially libelous comments. Little wonder many of the pilots, owners, operators, maintenance staff et al no longer post here.
When all the planned airframes have been completed and placed in their final positions, informed debate about the Airspace experience can ensue.
If you really don’t like it save up, buy some airframes, spend twenty years doing them up, buy an historic airfield, build some hangars, attract in some aircraft restoration companies and operators and then we’ll compare your efforts with those at dx.
If you don’t have the dosh or the ability to do any of the above I for one do not want to hear any more of your sniping.
I guess they wouldn’t have put it in a newsletter if it wasn’t to be talked about. :rolleyes:
Is post 321 Finningley
Cheers fella – we did consider that!!!
Phil tells me that the colours on the black ‘winder may have indicated its origins with 74 Sqn – it is plastered with squadron stickers including many Lightning ones – can anyone tell me whether they were fitted to Lightnings (not my era y’see) I thought they only had firestreaks and red tops…
TT
Or possibly 111 squadron.
Watton for the C Types?
Correct Forestfan.
Blimey – derelict C-Types? Strikes me as unusual as many of these have found a use of some sort over the years and remain in very good condition (I’m thinking Manby or Hemswell for example). I’ve no idea with this one but very good photos 92fis. Any clues?
Chris.
There were a few mosquitos based here once. 😉
Lovely shot of the nimrod, it does indeed look superb.
Nice shot’s Semae, EP120 is my favourite.
Anyone know this airfield.
Great shots, love the mustang pic’s and MH434 and TA805 look great together.
Nice shots Neal.
264 is Bircotes.
Yes – I have to give in on #241 WebPilot, unless you have a less cryptic clue, such as which County it’s in! I’m clearly after scoring easy points!!
#254 I think it’s Woodhall Spa.
Better be right as I’m back home after our team won the local pub quiz comprehensively tonight! 😀 Watch it be bloody well wrong now! :rolleyes:Chris
Correct it’s Woodhall Spa.
