    Talking of BBMF doors, I do wish they’d leave the two top escape hatches shut on the Lanc- flying around with them open might make a nice cool draft through the stuffy fuselage, but it spoils the look of the thing for me!

    Sorry but I take breathing over looking nice!!!:)

    I was at Eindhoven, servicing the Dakota, that was a long day. Taxi at 7am (6am UK time) and finished back at Coningsby after Southport Airshow at 7pm. Impressive watching the jumpers loading at Eindhoven.

    BBMF, holds functions there all year round. All good. I have never had a reason to complain, one of the waitresses is OK (my daughter!).

    I’ve been following this thread from the sidelines : interesting to see the rapid response akin to stirring up a hornet’s nest as a result of the rather non-gracious initial request from the anonymous BBMF member. I suppose you guys would know who it was. What is gratifying though is the way those that can help are pulling out the stops to do so. Well done you lads, and shame on the individual for his ill-chosen own shot in the foot. 😉

    I have apologised for my initial response and have got the answers I wanted. I just wanted some quick replies.
