JDK,

We are all entitled to our opinions, and my post was in response to the constant whingeing that seems to pervade this forum, especially about FL2004. I’m sorry that you choose to disagree with my opinions, but thats your choice and its a free country matey.

And the reason this is an anonymous forum is that I can be just that… :rolleyes:

Reading all the garbage (especially from a certain Mr Albert Ross!) thats being written on here about who stands next to their aeroplane, or pilots taking too long to do a pre-flight etc has made me vow to take as much time as possible doing my walkround, pre-flight/after flight checks…also wearing the loudest, most historically inaccurate flying clothing possible. I can’t believe people take the time to write this kind of rubbish!

And I always found the best cure for any rude photographer ‘press’ or otherwise was a stout ‘Why don’t you naff off’, then have them removed by security from the flightline for disturbing the pilots concentration… :p

Why cant you spotters & photographers just chill out and accept what you get.. If you don’t like it, vote with your feet & don’t bother turning up next year! 😡 As somebody has already said, probably 90% of people (Your average man-in-the-street and his kids) went home totally satisfied after seeing some nice hardware flying.

I’ve discounted Binbrook & Leeming, as the arrangement of hangars doesnt fit the picture. Dishforth & Driffield are both in hilly countryside

Five C Type Hangars?

Should be easy to track down, as not many airfields had 5

A sad day for the French Air Display Industry

If the Shuttleworth Collection hadn’t sold off some aircraft in the 1980s, and then spent good money buying them back (Provost), then they could probably afford to keep the Hornet Moth a leetle longer.

maybe a little broader imagination could bring in types such as the Auster and Druine Turbulent which have been a part of British aviation for many years

Not sure what you mean by this David? Certainly, the Turbulent and Auster have been part of the UK aviation scene for years, but so have the Piper Cherokee and the Cessna 150! Maybe we ought to let the Collection decide what aeroplanes they collect, and just enjoy…….

I only know the area after spending close on 5 years driving to work past it. Herbert????

Gaw’ on gis a clue

Mrs Miggins tea rooms just outside RAF Hawkinge??

Seriously though, is it the old hospital in Shooters Hill Road, Woolwich? Not sure what the connection is, but it looks familiar
