Welcome to the forum guys, and thanks for advertising the open day – really must get around to updating my Brunty website soon

There’s about three or four T2 hangars dotted around the airfield – as you enter the airfield from the main entrance, on the left there’s a T2, if you carry on to the right side of the Vulcan hangar and down the road there’s another used for storage, and at least one another on the western side of the airfield, which i’ve only seen on google earth. As well as that, there is of course, the Beech Restorations hangar and the Lightning boys QRA shed

Tatra T87 to be precise (the T97 was, I think, identical apart from it didn’t have the central headlight). Unfortunately they’re rare beasties even in their country of manufacture nowadays, fantastic looking 30’s machine

Sounds like a Bristow S61, you can see examples of the modern colour scheme here

M20 or m 21 ?

The good ole M20 – wanted one for as long as I can remember, and was recently offered one (in bits, but everything’s there apart from the speedo, and some parts he has duplicates of), for £1250. I’m now going to Uni next year in London so there’s no point in getting a car just for a few months, so it’ll give me something to work on when i’m bored, plus in the summer I can trailer it to military vehicle shows and drive around on it 😀

Oddly enough, the missus seems more excited about getting the bike than me! Not that i’m complaining, of course :diablo:

Merry Christmas to all as well

Certainly an interesting scheme for an Auster – Martin do you reckon the owner would consider putting it back in that scheme? 😮

Good stuff – may be doing a degree in something aviation related next year, so that’d be a good excuse to visit! (Like I ever needed one!) – how’s the Whirly coming along?

Don’t forget the T6 Thunderbolt that strafes the guys in Kellys Heroes (truly the best war film ever) – don’t remember seeing the T6 190’s and Thunderbolts in A Bridge Too Far, what scenes were those?
