I agree with Tarkey,there is a Large wind Turbine quite close to the flight path at the Lowestoft Airshow ,the Pilots just fly round it ,its must be within 1 mile of the flightline and has no effect on the Airshow

I wonder if the HHA still have the SU22 that used to belong to Ray and Mark Hanna at Scampton ??

There was a chap called Robin Bowles ? not sure of the correct spelling of his name ,he used to fly a Dr1 Tri Plane at the Shuttleworth ,but was killed flying it i think ,perhaps this is the Aircraft ? this was quite a few years ago now ,he used to wear a long leather flying coat at the shows ,and dress like the German flying Ace
I think i am right in saying the present paint scheme was done by a firm in Southend Airport , just a few years ago

North Weald did have a Fighter Meet for many years ,Ah yes i went to nearly all the Fighter Meets ,started by Paul Warren Wilson , John Watts ,and Arthur Gibson ,those were the days ,what did kill off the Fighter meet ? i think it was the Policing Costs of the Event ,but many say it was the loss of the Market Stall revenue to Epping Council ,a great Airshow ,sadly missed
Cheers Terry
I remember the Team that used to ground run the Phantom at Duxford ,Mark flew this Aircraft in the Falkland Islands when in service with the Raf i think,they did have a plan of flying this Aircraft at Airshows but it never came off ,i guess it would have been too expensive ,its in pretty good nick ,or it was last time i was at Duxford ,its a real shame Mark is not with us any more ,the very best Display Pilot i have ever seen ,sadly missed .
Terry
Does anyone know if the F15 Pair will be doing a proper Display ,or just a fLY By with the B17 ,as its many years since we have seen a proper Display by an F15 at Duxford
Terry
Many thanks to the Vampire Pilot,from North Weald , for a great Display at Seething ,one of the best i have ever seen !!
Terry
