Don’t know if this helps, but this is Shawburys gate guard taken on 2nd April this year.
Sorry its not a great photo, but it was taken from an RAF minibus as we sped past !

Been a few years since I was last there – the Halifax was still a set of wings propped up outside !!!
Will definately be there for the airshow this year, as I’ve treated myself to a flight up with Air Atlantique, but may still go up before, when it will be a bit quieter.

I was surprised at seeing two Tonkas as well !!

I know this is European legislation, but haven’t the CAA jumped on the bandwagon as well?
Just reaffirms my opinion that you are no longer allowed to enjoy yourself in this country – that is unless somebody makes a large wedge of money in the process !
Why don’t they just rename ‘GB’ as ‘GP’ (gross profit) ?????

I’m just glad I’m in a position at the moment to enjoy as many shows as I can, as Papa Lima says ‘there will never be any more of this ilk.’

Sad
Very sad

and while I am nursing a sunburnt face and arms, and are afraid to go out for fear of people pointing and laughing, I may as well post a few more shots.
😀

Good point – never thought of that.
Gonna be one large dust-sheet to cover the Victor and Vulcan when they start building on that side !!
Local lad – 20 minutes from Cosford (well down the country lanes it is anyway!) – just outside Dudley.

and more!
Good luck to the guys taking the Talbot Samba on the Mongol Rally! 😉

Yep,
was a fantastic day, and the weather held out as well!
Hope you don’t mind me attaching a few photos as well, Merlin.
My thanks to all involved, well done 😉 🙂 😉

Even though I spend half my time stuck behind a camera when visiting museums, I think I would give them a visit if I was in the area, just to see what all the fuss is about. But whether I would go back again is a different matter.
