I purchased Williams book of poetry from Vector at Duxford ealier this year and asked him to sign it. He then asked if i’d read his poem about sausages, said it was one of his favourites and then recited it out loud, without reference and with the correct emphasis on each line. I hope no one objects but this is that poem

Nobody gives a sausage

A sausage is a wonderous thing,
Much pleasure it can often bring.
Yet in my book of great quotations,
Nobody famous even mentions
A sausage of whatever kind,
The name is simply not enshrined.
It seems to me a dreadful shame,
A Sausage has no quoted fame.

RIP William

in the meeting it was folowed up with the comment that a lot of the buildings were going to be tied to logistic. To me that means lots of huge warehouse (bid enough to put aircraft under cover) and few jobs, that doesnt make 14000 i bet, but 1000 is better than non. I also believe that the planning application will be granted by the end of next week

Ive been to a meeting today where the Coventry Gateway was discussed, 14,000 jobs are envisaged, new roads, new transport. No mention of the hangars though, it would be a shame for MAM not to have one donated to them if dismantled even if errected in a few years like Elvington but ive not seen any mention of this

would be interesting to see the shots of the Spit air to air to see how good/bad they are shooting through the scrathed windows

any idea what happening to the replica at Boulton Paul, its their last open day this weekend

Cosford? (even though the have one)

they do seem to have gone from the posters stream, however one of the airport can be viewed on Vulcan to The Sky website
