What a shame, but an understandable decision, given the circumstances.
However, Moths ‘a’ plenty, arrayed on a grass airfield has been a enduring pleasure for over 80 years, and there is too much affection for that all to just stop.
I am certain a new event will emerge, run by new blood with new energy. This is a spectacle that must never be moth-balled!
’tis the season to be jolly (grumpy) :rolleyes:
Surely 633 Sqdn ‘Up the fiord’ attack scene was the sequence said to be part of the inspiration for Star Wars ?
This might go down better on Christmas morning ! (Dakota wingtip )[ATTACH=CONFIG]242548[/ATTACH]
P and P, you make a complex subject both engaging and accessible . Thanks for taking the time.
What a great concept, very interesting. The better the shots ‘match’ the more useful it is.
The ‘einkel over Whitehall made me chuckle, as that was a painted city- scape, hung on scaffold at Bovingdon airfield.
Very sadly, two British enthusiasts on an air-experience flight lost their lives in the CAF owned Marauder crash in 1995
”Also killed were two volunteers – Colin Dunwell of Surrey, England, and Chris Gardner of Essex, England – who were taking their first flight on the B-26.
Thorp and his crew were flying in preparation for AIRSHO 95 at the Midland International Airport. ”
They love to put all that sort of crap on the walls in trendy bars.
Personally, I think it looks a lot better on the side of the aeroplane :apologetic:
One is intact, the other was broken up. Pity one couldn’t have gone to metheringham
Still sort of together on Oct 24th 2015[ATTACH=CONFIG]242178[/ATTACH]
For those of us who enjoyed online dialogue with Edgar, but knew little of his broader interests and background , could someone who knew him well put up a short biography, just a couple of paragraphs would be fine.
Many thanks – Andy Smith
Hi BD 1954. Welcome to the Forum !
Great to have another first-hand witness. Bringing history to life, and all that……
We have no Spanish Air Force to conscript this time, which leaves only the dreaded CGI .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6u4JxgE2S4 Not unlike this clip, I suspect.
I struggle to see what a remake would achieve, other than employment within the industry.
Will the undercarriage levers still be sticky ? Will they now be flying BETTER than monkeys ?
Its unforgiveable. I lost my temper.
g-ALWC was in a scheme that was maybe derived from its RAF colours.
Nice to see Brian Lecomber enlightening HRH in the ways of the replica Sopwith Camel .
That is a damn shame. A fine aircraft, that just a short while ago was well cared-for.
There would be scope to produce an enchanting production at Old Warden, for instance, floating in the sunlit twilight with the Boxkite and the other Edwardians as they drift past, really serene and atmospheric. I hope someone will be inspired :eagerness:
What a heart-warming story ! Whch one is the son ? :rolleyes:
It is a shame that the RAF museum come up with such a stack of reasons why , inevitably, this would of course be impossible in their exhibits.
