often wondered if it was Ray Hanna, is he the one in the light blue shirt, any idea of what became of him after the Lizzie rolled over?
Halfpenny Green 1983 taken with a 110 camera

believe this to be P-51D Mustang G-PSID Ex 44-63788 Operated by Doug Arnold and later TFC also believe it to have crashed at La Roche-sur-Yon, France on 24.7.98.

This Lysander overturned in a farmers field on way back from the show the following day, it may be the one with Kermit Weeks now

If any of the info is incorrect please comment
Im on the picture with the Mrs in the lecture theatre, this was a Heineken lecture!!!
Yes I have sat out side an airshow and watched without paying, 1979 Weston Park was the last one when i was 11.
I have been to Fairford, Waddington, Old Warden, Little Gransden, Cosford, Duxford etc this year and the amount of people watching from outside is growing and no, do you really think that one person expressing an opinion against freeloaders would be listened to.
2 points if you wish
1, The Sabre pilot at one of the shows at Duxford, I think it was September called the tower to complain of people walking along the taxi way that had walked across the fields, caused him to be concerned, if he is saying there is a problem then it is an issue. If this person had been injured do you think the papers would report accurately?
2, by default of been on this forum i am an enthusiast and understand that most acts are brought in and not given freely, is it £10,000 for the Vulcan? Now if a thousand people sit outside (probably more at Cosford) who do not pay the entry fee, the show makes a loss and then is cancelled where do we go next?
I pay my money, it goes to the organisers, they make a profit, i go again. My choice. No air show, i dont go.
touched a nerve there then?
even though you shot at Duxford you paid like me to go in didn’t you or were you free loading?
was at the museum at Sharjah 3 weeks ago, will post pics soon
Thats the 2nd shot (at different venues) ive seen of the 108 with smoke in the cockpit. No shots of the Hurry bomber and the moon?
At a glance thought the 1st shot of the Lanc was dropping an upkeep
Never seen that effect that has come from the wing tips before, looks like the picture is torn
thanks for posting
You must have been standing next to me all day!!! Got to be one of the best shows at OW for ages
Im sure i heard on the tanyo that the lack of aircraft in the static was due to operational reasons
