A couple of photos of ‘RA at Halfpenny Green the day after filming finished and the airfield re-opened to the public, along with a tug that was on the car park that I hadn’t seen there before.

Please excuse the quality, they were taken with an old pocket digi I always keep to hand!

Spent a couple of cold hours at Halfpenny Green today (and as I type this the sun has now come out!!)
Some interesting aircraft and vehicles on show, and thankyou to the organisers for putting on the best value event on a Bank Holiday – would have happily paid £5 per person, so £2 made for incredibly good value!

Here a few shots from today:

OZPLANE quote: “TMN, I hope you enjoyed your wander through Ashwell. It’s an interesting village but I would say that as I live there. With regard to your Spitfire, I was working at Duxford yesterday and MH434 left mid-afternoon and hadn’t returned when I left at 1730 so my guess that is the one you saw on it’s way back.”

Thanks for the reply, and yes Ashwell is very beautiful!

All the best,

TMN

Hi,

Just before 6pm yesterday evening we were wandering through Ashwell (just the other side of Royston) and a Spitfire overflew us heading in the direction of Duxford.
It appeared to be V or a IX from the Merlin engine and the cannon fit, but was just too high to positively identify it.
Has anyone got an idea which one it may have been please?
We guessed at AB910, but as we were West of Duxford it seemed to be heading in from an odd direction considering Coningsby it North of Duxford.

Many thanks in advance.

PS. Excellent thread as always!

We’ll be there!
Missed last years event for some unknown reason, but not this time.
Think it’ll be time to renew the Club membership as well?

See you there Tim,

Nashio966:
Did you come and have a peer through WR963?

We didn’t this time, but we’ll be regular visitors to Airbase, so didn’t want to get around everything too quickly!
