Beautiful! It was Stephen Grey that ignited my interest in the P-40 family.

The Hellcat is listed to be at Shoreham at the end of august so if she is going at least we will have most of the summer to see her

Not necessarily, the P-47 ‘Snafu’ was on the list for last years Shoreham and was removed as soon as it was sold.
Hope I’m wrong in this case though.

Pretty sure that is Dan Griffiths, saw him display MK912 at Coolings Garden Centre of all places last June, a fantastic display that day.
Apparently Duxford yesterday was his 500th display.

I am getting to a stage where I feel I do not want any more books, or maybe massively thin out what I have.

Having lugged my father’s ‘library’ through three house moves, shelves and shelves of titles sit unopened for years on end. even my beloved Wrecks and Relics gather dust, since the printed word is no longer my point of reference.

Time and space are needed to enjoy a good book collection, and if both are short, they cease to be the source of pleasure which they once were, and feel more like a burden. A sad reflection, but too much clutter is bad for your mental health.

I fully understand what you are saying there.

Any idea where this was taken, has an RAF Kenley look about it?

Aren’t the USAF exhibits on loan to the AAM? I think that is why the F15 is receiving perhaps more attention than some of the other exhibits.
Does anyone know if any of the 48th FW have any input into the F15 ‘spruce up’? I’m sure they were involved in the last paint job.

It’s obvious these people have not seen the photos from the boneyard at DM……

A piece of good advice, especially when someone dies, is , if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.

A good point.
The EDL, NF etc etc would actually keep their blood pressures at healthier levels if they bit their collective tongues and let the people on social media pay their respects.
By posting the usual predictable diatribe they are actually prolonging the discussion and I suspect their own frustration.
The tribute threads will run their natural course a lot quicker if you keep your views to yourself, it’s an argument you will never win.
