    Right here it goes , both grandads worked at nearby airfields in the 80’s [RAF Wyton & Alconbury] The one at Wyton used to clean the aircraft after flight and the one from Alconbury used to drive a massive lorry :one of his duties was crash recovery.
    My father works at a near by compossite factory which used to build replica aircraft , one of them was the F5 Tiger at Alconbury gate. He was also involved in the restoration of a D.H Vampire T11 XE998 with this aircraft they won the Mike Twite trophie.;)
    So with all of this going on around me i got into aviation fairly early, i ‘am a big fan of EE Lightning’s and collect anything to do with them and i also research the history of RAF Upwood where i live, all the best Matt:D

    Hello all , think i’am going to put my 2 penny worth in now. I took my dad to this event for the first time this year and loved every moment of it [apart from the rain:rolleyes:] I went to this with an open mind and i was’nt dissapointed, my first love is Lightnings and it was great to see one of Neils there, you could see the amount of effort that had gone into these nose sections. I got speaking to the owner of the macaw Jet provest and his story was great [ i never thougt that i would become a fan of a JP but i was won over],the whole day felt like a family affair ….. don’t let bitching about prizes spoil this great event:)
    Me and my dad will be back next year [hopefully with a nose section]:p
