Yes please do uden1943 and welcome to the forum. The memorial service must have been quite emotional for you.!

Very nice (large) piece for the Chippie collector;

Three guesses dear boy ;). Its for my Wyvern tail wheel that has been naked for far too long.

That said, how many people here have told their other halves about aviation purchases up front? :diablo:

😮 But they always find out eventually. She calls it ‘the cr@p in the shed’… i prefer the correct term ‘valuable historic artifacts’ ;).

No worries Blue Max. From my last chat on the subject with the airfield manager the problem is beyond their control unless the two farmers / owners of the neighbouring fields play ball and co-operate with the police on the grounds of trespassing or something.

But the problem of those in the field at the end of the runway is an old problem (me included :() but now we have people walking across the field and actually setting up base right beside the runway. A blown tyre or swing on take off / landing and there’ll will be repercussions.

Indeed it is. Watching a Spitfire outside my window at this very moment :cool:.

For any ex Russavia team its 24 years today since G-AGTM swung on take off.

Remember that day very well, sadly for both the Rapide and Blenheim.
And my first ever flight was from Duxford in TM in 1985. Have always admired the Rapide since that day.

Great shots DCW.
