    Curious indeed. In fact the only thing that said Mustang sound to me was the gun port ‘howl’, otherwise it could of been a MkIX without looking.

    Great to see ‘Frankie” airborne again, but i thought the engine note now sounds more like a Spitfire instead of a Mustang :confused:

    I have to say that looks an excellent and well balanced display line-up, in my opinion anyway :eagerness:

    I understand that Canberra T.4 has arrived at Newquay from Coventry for restoration. Has anyone got any photos?

    Yes you’re quite right Dave, the majority of the crew were from New Zealand and this is included in the section caption with the nationalities of all involved. Also the chap showing us round was quick to point this out too whilst telling us of the tragic circumstances of the crash.

    Tour? I wish lol. No yesterday was just an open day although I believe airfield tours are organised from time to time by the museum.

    Yes sadly the Canberra is gone. I understand that there was an agreement with the museum for the scrappie to move the cockpit section to them as they really wanted to see it saved, but sadly for reasons entirely beyond the museums control it didn’t happen.

    Indeed it is Cees, with more detail to be added yet. But it does give a good impression of what B-17 waist gunners would of worn whilst on missions.

    The section of Wellington on the wall was one of the things that intrigued me, as its the piece removed from the top of the tree at Wandlebury woods that it had crashed into fifty years previously. I had heard about it but it was the first time i’d actually seen it.

    RAF West Raynham was another airfield to come under attack from the Luftwaffe during WW2, and one of the hangar doors still bears the scars to this day.
    I also believe one of the attackers was downed by the bases own anti aircraft gunners ?!

    L4x2 – i understand what your saying, its just a very same ole same line up for me. The mindset seems to be fill practically every airshow programme with Spitfires.

    Cheers Terry for the update. I was under the impression that some of the fleet were going to be operated out of Coventry on occasions, to cut down transit costs, otherwise if they are relying solely on west country airshows for bookings then its going to be even harder to meet their operating costs?!
