Roobarb,

Your message deserves a longer reply, but thank you, that’s very insightful. I’m aware of Dicks time on BBMF, Pete R and SK have expanded on his knowledge. I’ll come back for more information, no doubt, and hope all this knowledge is being written down.

Cheers,
Kurt

Flypast magazine has become an UTTERLY amateur publication in my experience. It’s become comic book in both content and presentation in the last decade or so, more than ever before.
I’ll await the flaming by the diehards.

I flew over in 2005 in it, and PA474 has been over to the Netherlands most years since.
Normal route is via the Channel, to minimise time over water.

There should a new book out, charting the history of BBMF pictorially, I believe. It’s aptly named, “The Flight”. Have a look in the Key shop. Father Christmas has been informed 🙂

Geoff,

I’m being nit picky, but it’s “au fait”, not ofay. It’s French, basically meaning familiar. Sorry to be a pedant, Moggy will be along in an hour or two to correct any further grammatical errors, he likes that kind of thing…

Are there any pictures of it crashed, or the wreckage? Similarly, where exactly near Waddington did it go in? I’m local and I’ve been employed there or nearby for over 25 years.

Alan Cobham, not Chobham.

I’ve had a few wets this evening, maybe one too many! If this is real, I may have just won the Euromillions, as this is EXACTLY my ambition! WOW!!! Good luck guys!
