    Has the Hurricane still got the “bird” kill markings on the other side?

    Nice comments from Chris Evans this morning on radio 2 at 8.18 followed by ELO Mr blue sky. He didn’t have to say anything but did which I believe was respectful

    The future proposal was spoken about at length at the VTS supporters club day in February, the rational and thought process were made clear at the time

    Was at the silverstone classic yesterday. Someone was offering a Spitfire experience for £35 a go on the hour which sold out. For this you got talked around the cockpit of a plastic replica coded J-EJ while you sat in it and then got to start the engine. Must have been about 150 people around it each time they started the lawn mower engine hidden inside. Unsure where the money went but they had a spot in the RAF village

    A speaker was on the floor in front of me, it was loud and i found him b****y irritating. I think the problem was he hardly shut up and when he did he left the microphone open so there was a constant noise. He wasnt there last year so perhaps this year grated more.

    More music, bring back Pomp and Circumstance in the lead up to the balbo, play 633 squadron and the twirly bits out of BoB

    They all left after the show together in a stream. Didn’t realise they were so popular.

    I will buy this, hopefully the horrid paper in V2 has gone along with the terrible mistakes etc, however I do not believe it will ever compare to that volume due to the fact that so many have now passed and I was lucky enough to meet so many whilst they signed that volume which, sadly cannot be done now. Still have the memories though, Bazil and his picnic etc

    Just wondering about the meteor display (I also saw it at Abingdon on Sunday). Was the intended flight path deviated from at one point when still in formation hence when separated only a quick pass before landing?
