Plane and snow.
Yikes! They’ve bust the ‘Naff-meter’ !
Oddly charming though. That looks a great place to work.
Daily Mails loves Spitfires 🙂 ( and all they stand for..)
Some good photos in article
Thanks for the feedback.
So we concur, do we, no flyers ?
SB bringing GP’s Mossie over?
That is all I know. But the organisation has ‘deep pockets’ backing, and I know of the aeroplanes they have actually recently acquired, which gives me reason to be hopeful.
The rumour mill has been grinding again……
And my very credible contact tells me of plans to bring a flyer ( project) to the UK……
Good find. 🙂
My uncle in Forres was best mates with the Station Commander, a few strings were pullled, and I was invited for a VIP tour of 8 Sqdn in 1991. No flight, but otherwise access to everything!
Thank you Sqdn Ldr Simon Smith who was my chaperone for the day.
I think he might be in the film.
here you go.

”B-17G 44-83563 (N9563Z) went on to a long utilization as an air tanker, appeared in Tora! Tora! Tora!, and then to the National Warplane Museum. It still flies from Orange County Airport in Southern California, owned and operated by Bill Lyon’s Martin Aviation.”
As in so many areas, one can push through legislation , and a proportion of people will protest, but abide by those new rules.
However, the unstable and dangerous individuals who actually pose the threat, are not the sort of people who will obey the law anyway.
If firearms were to be outlawed for the general public, what proportion would actually be handed in? 50% would be optomistic
This ghastly phenomenon will stop when the authorities can identify and contain the angry, the marginalised, and psychotic elements in society, ie never.
Until then, it is like the risk of being hit by lightning- you take your chances.

Great little film !
They seem to be shooting through perspex, but the video is still pretty good quality.
I flew in a mixed formation for Keith in the summer, and were like fish in a shoal !
Those Chipmunks look as though they are bolted together!
A very satisfactory outcome.
We mulled it over last year..
Nice shot hereof ALP , looks recent-ish ( ie within last 30 years !)

Film here, with Stan Smith doing some ‘mantling’ and then air-air footage.
Yes, me too ! I’m staring at just three cards when there is normally at this time, fifteen or twenty. Could this be an indication of my present popularity?
I am working hard on an answer that won’t hurt your feelings.
Standby.
