    Does anyone know if 603 is visable from the road, and if so, what road?

    Thought I might have a ride by and try and get a couple of pics before she is gone forever.

    I was just to the left of ARLG also with a group of four friends.
    For us all it was the highlight of the show and a rare treat to be actually able to smell the exhaust gases!
    There is always the chance that something may go wrong at any time, but I somehow think I had more chance of coming a cropper on the journey back on the A14 and M6 with some of the nutters on the roads than having a P-51 land on my head !

    Manston airport,
    Its the Severn Valley Railway that runs from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster – we were towards the Bridgnorth end.

    Just to finish off, an aircraft that I think deserves a series of photographs all for itself, the RB-36 Peacemaker.
    I remember building a model of one as a kid, which at 1:72 scale dominated the rest of my collection!

    We made it as far as San Fransico and the USS Hornet, then flew back to LAX and on to Heathrow.
    I think I visited more museums in Calif. than I’ve been to in the UK!

    Will be putting up some shots from Castle soon.

    Laviticus.
    I have it on good authority that we covered 1400 miles in just under 2 weeks!
    Just glad I wasn’t driving !

    We covered 20 or so museums and airfields, along with the Planes Of Fame airshow, had great weather on the whole, and good company, which all added up to a superb holiday.

    Thanks for the link also, makes interesting reading.

    Sequoia airfield.

    Last batch for now, the two water-bombers parked up on the airfield.
    The DC-4 looked stunning sat in the late afternoon sunshine.

    American Veterans Memorial, Tulare.

    Shots of the F-4 and B-17G on show at the side of the road.
    I was told that the B-17 was hit by a truck a few years ago and had to be extensively rebuilt. Must admit that the rear fuselage did not look quite right around the access door.
    Anyone know any more about this?
