Unfortunately further proof that the ‘Great’ should be removed from Great Britain.
A very depressing state of affairs when YET ANOTHER memorial is vandalised.
😡

Ahhhhh, Chipmunks !

The type I experienced my first barrel-roll and loop in (but not the same aircraft), and also the first ‘historic’ type my better half got to fly in, complete with roll and loop!

A wonderful aircraft that will always hold special memories for us both.

My better half is getting very excited at the prospect of seeing 558 airborne again, completely Vulcan-mad she is! (Is there a name for people with this affliction?????):D

Might surprise her and take her along to see her at Brunty on Monday.

Good luck to the guys with the test program.

Thanks for posting 1 Group,

How does the Meteor TT.20 look now?
The last time I was there in early June she was awaiting a wing to be fitted.
Great to see a TT.20 AS a TT.20 and not painted as a NF variant.

Our first airshow at Biggin Hill on Saturday and I have to say we were impressed with the ease of getting in and out, but then we were at the golf course end.
No delays (thankfully) getting back to the M25, which was a major bonus as it was a round trip of 400 miles for us!

A good show topped by great commentary from Melvyn and Brendan.
I can’t say we’ll be there next year (due to the distance) but we WILL be back at some point!

p.s. Thanks Melvyn for motioning to my girlfriend to remove her hat before you swung the Rearwin around – a true gentleman.

The flight in the Rapide last June was superb, I highly recommend it,and I’m glad the event is being repeated.
I’ve got friends coming from South Wales this weekend and we will definately be turning up.

See you Sunday Will.
