‘Undercarriage lever a bit sticky, was it?’

‘Er, well yes, as a matter of fact it was’

‘Well, I wouldn’t got telling that to the CO, if I was you’

All from memory- I am sure Daz is word perfect!

I think I like the hangar best! A real ratty old WW11 vintage T2 (?), which echos to the sound of merlins and where exotic aeroplanes lurk in the darkest recesses.

There were four like that at Booker, but then the modernisers started modernising, and now there are three ghastly blue sheds,- looks more like an industrial estate.

OK, so Maxalpha (denizen of Bicester) has today viewed the Seafire at an airfield in all liklihood not too far away (say in Bucks/Northants) which might just have a reputation for top-quality spraying.

Is this all really supposed to be secret???? And why???????????
Still, more fun than Sudoko, I suppose!

The static display airframes at Booker have all seemed a bit short of TLC- hopefully the B-25 will fare better.

It would be more relevant at Dunsfold, where 98 Squadron flew them.

For any museum that would be a great exhibit. It has the ‘presence’ of a Mosquito, a charismatic shape that would appeal to the general public, most of whom would not know, or be much troubled by the fact that it is a reproduction.

For better or for worse, I suspect that they would probably rather see that than a perfectly restored Vampire, for instance, which though worthy, is not quite so glamorous.

Ad..I mean Albert. Are those pictures trannies??- just something about the colour density and richness. Shot through perspex, I imagine.

So if you are looking at the camera ship, and he was looking at you (assuming he wasn’t leading the formation from behind!) who was looking out ahead?? :rolleyes:
