Glad you enjoyed the show – I was one of the British re-enactors portraying the Leicestershire Regiment, spent the majority of the show either in my little trench, in one of the Bren carriers on Saturday firing the bren gun and no 2 on the Bren gun in the half track on Sunday! Fantastic event, met a lot of interesting people, plus we won the award for best display which I felt was well deserved. Highlight for me though was meeting a veteran of the Leicestershire Regiment who fought in NW Europe 1944-1945, and getting to shake the hand of that fine gentleman. My photos are up here

I believe yours is a J1 Ritch, the other one (mine, I think) is a J1 too, G-AJPZ. Think there might be another one on site but not owned by Beech Restorations

I agree, a Brigand would be fantastic – I remember reading/hearing that as part of the agreement from the scrapyard where the fuselage came from, that it has to remain in the condition it’s in?

I’d love to see a Handley Page Heyford, possibly the weirdest looking RAF aircraft ever and quite attractive at the same time (to me it looks like someone’s built a Vickers Vimy but attached the fuselage under the upper wing instead

Certainly was good weather, although my arms were stinging for days afterwards! (Really should have took up TT’s offer of suncream). Oh by the way, i’m the one that looks like a ginger smurf! 😀

Gorgeous… (and not the legs!). Was really hoping to make it down to see the Beech 18 tomorrow but injured my leg earlier so can barely walk to the kitchen let alone wander around Booker all day

Wot no Beech 18? 😀

Didn’t realise the Vulcan hangar was open, would have gone over and have a look myself. Are you two coming over again to the Lightning QRA day on the 22nd July? Hopefully the weather will be a lot better (that said, couldn’t have been much worse!)
