    For those with beady eyes, Bovingdon is in the background.

    It would seem that shy retiring Maurice Kirk has one in his farmyard in Wales.

    There seems to be a German company making Bleriot-Vickers.
    This is a photo of one which appears to have landed in a street, after all the fabric came off.

    Is that Beech 18 not G-AYAH, once owned by Visionair? If so, it has been rattling around for years, but never moving much. It was slumped at Booker for a while in about 1978.

    A year or two earlier, Jeff Hawke (owner) took it through a full blown aerobatic routine at one of the Greenham Air Tatoos. Scary!

    A nice selection of shots- I love that Pembroke in the clover.
    With a bit of luck the weather next year will be kinder.

    Low, and about to get even lower, not to mention stationary.

    What they have done with them is knock them down, apart from Personal Planes Services hangar. It stands alone, propped up by a heap of Provost and Canberra bits.

    The new hangars are of the low-rise, blue wriggly-tin variety.

    Yes Tintagel 6th July 1979. A/c abandoned over the sea, but it turned inland, and ended up as seen,;- there were no injuries.

    The wooden hangar complex was built along the hard runway at Booker (High Wycombe) which had just been released by the RAF. Other parts of the field were used for various scenes, such as the northerly corner, with the haystack and the Demoiselle. Additional locations included Dover, and a flying unit was sent up to Skegness.

    Derek Piggott flew the Boxkite (replica) all the way back from Skegness to Booker, with about five fuel stops!

    If you are short of space, sometimes you have to cram it in!

    Moggy. I think the ones you want to talk down to have ‘fewer than’ 4,000 postings. :rolleyes:

    And the BBC have devoted pretty much the whole evening news to the demise of Mr Cook- well, he was against ‘the war’ after all.
