A quick then and now post. The first one was taken 25/7/93 with the late Mark Hanna at the controls, the second on friday afternoon at more or less the same point apart from a slightly different viewpoint.

Interesting to see the two different types of windscreen used. Canadair and Lockheed maybe?

Carry On Camping. Mr Muggins the hitchhiker (Charles Hautrey) comes across a young farm girl leading a cow down a lane;

Charlie – Oh hello, i say what are you doing with that old cow?

Young girl – I’m taking her to the bull

Charlie – Oh couldn’t your father do it

Young girl – No, it has to be the bull 😀

Nice. Wish i could make it 🙁

Oh yes just imagine a bright summers day, a Wyvern on finals,

You have good taste sir. If you had a Wyvern, i’d be your very best friend :D.

Nice photos of a very good day. I always find Bruntingthorpe quite a magical but also a friendly, relaxed place, with so much going on involving mostly actual live airframes. And for me its not just the fast runs that make this a worthwhile event. Watching and hearing the aircraft taxi back round the perimeter after their runs makes me feel quite nostalgic. The Cold War Jets days are now eagerly anticitated by me.

Also i have to agree about the RAF Landrover, and indeed the LPG’s old (and battered) Transit crew bus. Having period ground support vehicles there too all adds to the atmosphere and general ‘active’ feel of the place :).

Interesting thread. Red Hunter is another who vanished overnight.
If any of those mentioned in this thread are reading this, we hope all is well.
