    The only flying shot I took of G-MOSI was a rather distant shot of a low pass down the taxiway.I’ve also included a couple of Lindsey Walton’s F4U-7 Corsair N1337A on it’s delivery flight to Duxford,7 August 1982.And finally T-6 N2860G on a visit to the UK July 1982.

    These are REAL warbirds!.Ex Moroccan Air Force T-28A Fennecs on their way to the USA and onwards to the Nicaraguan Air Force/Sandanista in 1979.Doug Arnold was involved with these aircraft and they spent some months at Blackbushe before delivery across the Atlantic.

    A few more of N166G and N47DE.The P-47 appears to be very thirsty on the oil!

    Some more coming shortly.Did you notice Neil Williams in the centre of the group around the nose of the first CASA-2.111?He was sadly killed in the crash of another CASA-2.111 in Spain a few months later.In my opinion he was the best display pilot ever.

    I think he ended up in a Piper Aztec at the bottom of the Med. in very strange circumstances.
