    For the uninitiated among us whats the difference between a Mk21 and any other high back Griffon engined Spit?

    Great news about the RNHF Sea Fury and Swordfish. Here’s to a safe and snag free season for them and the Seahawk.!

    Excellent.. especially the fourth from bottom showing the old cement works off Coldhams Lane in the background. A Cambridge landmark now long gone.

    Never realised the Chipmunk and Marshalls had such a long association together.!

    3rd June 1990, my first airliner a Lockheed L-1011 of Air Transat (sadly no serial or piccy). Stansted to Toronto, drive to Vancouver and back, and return to Stansted two weeks later. Very smooth and reasonably quiet except when i went to the toilet at the rear of the aircraft.. boy that was noisy.
    Being a nervous but excited Brit for me it was very reassuring looking out of the window and seeing ROLLS ROYCE on the side of the engines :).

    Edit; Just remembered that due to the strength of the headwind we had to land for fuel at Goose Bay, Labrador. Good to see the resident but sadly stranded Avro Vulcan there as i stood in the doorway for a breather.

    [QUOTE=UKAVIATOR;1716403]Director Tony Scott has confirmed that the long talked-about Top Gun 2 will take flight in the next couple of years and the scriptwriters have confirmed that Maverick is the main character. Now all we need is Tom Cruise and Val “Ice Man” Kilmer to sign on the dotted line.

    I heard its to be based on the current front line RAF.. And that a squadron of Grob Tutors are being made available. 😀

    Fantastic photos thank you.
    As Cambridge (Marshalls) is my local airport these make for some interesting viewing. Sadly i was born too late to have witnessed this halcyon time there. My earliest memory is of the Hastings on the fire dump back in the 70’s.!
