I am quiet terrible when it comes to collecting i do not know when to stop,its a nightmare for anyone who knows me.
I have a lot of Corgi Aviation Models but no room in the flat so they are in storage, Its coming to the point where i am wondering if they are costing me more money than they are worth. Its difficult to know what to do with them.I have also got Diecast Formula one models and some other Diecast too, Just no space anymore which is the downside 🙁 .
I used to have loads of Airfix and other plastic kits i had made but they are at a friends place now, I still have some unmade ones awaiting there turn.

I have quiet a large collection of CDs around 600 of various genre’s and have started building a collection of DVDs mostly concentrating on films i would call classic and on the best Sitcoms like Only fools and horses and Blackadder etc, My wife has been inflicted by me to watching Blackadder but she loves it, She’s is from Belarus but loves the British humour.

Such a shame it died, But maybe its death is not in vain as we are all thinking about Whale’s and there plight at the moment, I brief moment maybe, But how often can you say Londoner’s get to thinking about nature while going about their daily lives?
I hope this will be the last whale to get trapped in the Thames this way, And really pray this is not a sign of some impending threat to the species.

The rescuers did the best they could it was against the odds and nearly worked.

All in all a sad day, But at least a day that Humans thought about another creature instead of ourselves.

Great news, Really hope we will see both of them together this year, That will be a dream come true. Hope T4 will soon also be making some noise.

Congradulations to all involved in both Canberra’s upkeep for allowing us to see such Treasures in the sky.

STOP, STOP,STOP THIS UTTER CREEPING TRASH

Putting this sought of garbage on here is not going to prove a damn point, there are loads off pilots out their as good as Ray and Mark Hanna, if they were here they would most certainly agree, unfortunately they are now up in the blue yonder with my Dad. Stop this confounded creeping. Can you imagine what all the other display pilots feel like reading your comments, and will they try a little bit harder to prove a point. Let these two lads have some peice for gods sake and keep them in your memory

Rob 😡

Sorry to rattle your tree mate, But i take great offence to being called a creep, I have great respect for all the Warbird pilots on the scene, As you would know if you had bothered to read any of my other posts instead of just quoting this one post here, YES YES YES other pilots fly low also that what is needed at Airshows its no good flying a Display at 10,000 feet after all is it?, We have a huge amount of talented pilots such as John Romaine, Paul Bonholme, Stephen Grey,Lee Proudfoot, Cliff Spinks, etc all have great skills as anyone will agree.

As to you comment that some pilots will try harder to prove a point because of my comments here, I doubt it as most if not all pilots have greater skill than to do anything that stupid, We have a very safe Airshow scene here mainly because pilots know how to fly a display safely within the design envelope of the Aircraft, Remember 2004 and 2005 seasons in the UK went without fatalities at all thats to be commended, That shows the skill of our Display pilots.

The fact is Ray and Mark Hanna were my heroes at Airshows and have been since my first Airshow in 1982, God bless them both.

So sorry if your upset, and you also Yak11 i care about others oppinions here.

For me my favourite Duo would also be The Two Ronnie’s, Ronnie Barker was a great comedy writer and actor he knew how to make people laugh without being offensive(something new stars lack), Ronnie Corbett had perfect timing and was also a very good actor in my oppinion and between them they had that magic.

I would also mention,

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, I was not around when they did most of their comedy but love the way they worked together, Pete just always knew how to improvise and how to make Dud completely crack up with laughter, I must admit i do not really like the alter-ego Derek and Clive as found them often too rude.

Just wanted to post a few more photo’s as tribute to Ray

Thanks very much everyone, She is doing pretty fine now.

Ray Hanna best Spitfire Pilot by FAR!!!!!!! Anna

Without a Doubt, Miss him hugely already.
Lets just talk about Ray as he had no equal in my view.
