😮 Oh wow!!!! Didn’t expect to be reading this Paul…. well done indeed on such a momentous occasion after all the hurdles you and the team have overcome!
I will be updating our JP facebook group accordingly of course :diablo:
Oh that’s rather nice 🙂 I’ll be in touch with Neil about this certainly 😀
I thought Goodyear had been using Cardington recently with their ‘blimp’ ?
Not easy to find a photo showing these ‘jump seat’ positions, but here’s a panoramic view that does show one:
Knowing the interior of the Midland Air Museum’s one well – there are indeed harnesses for these positions tucked away behind them, and yes they are uncomfortable places to be! 😉
Well the weekend was fantastic – the weather was very kind to us, and we had a good variety of aircraft and plenty of people come along to support the charity.
For anyone on facebook, a small selection of shots have been posted on fly2help’s own facebook page this morning, and a proper review should be appearing in Flyer magazine soon too..
Stunning onboard camera footage of the Planes Of Fame’s Mig-15!!! 😮
It is great news indeed – I heard it looked likely a few days ago but had to keep quiet etc…. I have to say it has been really encouraging having all the PM’d messages to pass on to Sonja which I have been doing every day since my post regarding that…. Tony has been receiving huge support from the aviation community as a whole, and not just here in the UK I might add…. Thank you to all who wished him well in those messages – they will continue to be passed on directly to Sonja until such time as she asks not to, as the bigger the recovery diary is, the more obvious the support is that he will read eventually 😀
There’s obviously still a way to go before a return to flight can be considered, but I can just imagine the scene now when that happens – heartwarming stuff eh 😉
Once again – thank you from me for the messages to be passed on
Thank you to those that have already sent me messages via PM to pass on, which I already have done this afternoon….
Here’s hoping for a few more to fill the pages Sonja is creating 🙂
Tony’s sister has a wonderful idea which needs your help!
Speaking to Sonja recently, she has had a wonderful idea to do a ‘recovery diary’ for Tony to read once he is able to, to show him how much support he has been receiving here in the UK. I have offered to collate any input and pass it on to her so she can print messages off.. So this is the chance for anyone who wishes to send a personal message to Tony to be included in the diary.
I hope Sonja gets a load to add in, judging from the massive support already shown on various forums which I’ve seen?
If anyone wishes to pass their messages on – please send them to me via PM and they WILL get passed on to Sonja. By all means include your real name etc, not just forum ID – especially if you’ve met Tony at a show etc as he may remember you!
Hopefully I will be meeting her next weekend as she is making a trip to the UK to visit Tony so I will soon find out how he’s recovering too…
I’m in touch privately with Tony’s sister Sonja with updates on his progress, as sadly she had to refrain from making public updates via facebook etc due to business issues.
Just to update this thread – Tony is making good progress, and if anyone wants to know more then please ask me via PM as I don’t want to ruffle feathers posting details on here. I’m away for a week doing the Best Of British show at Kemble from tomorrow, but will answer anyone when I can.
I think they moved your link page – found it here now
Another one Neil? Soon have enough for a squadron :diablo:
Seriously though – I’ll keep my ear to the ground…..
That’s amazing!!! 😮 Somewhat difficult to believe the scale of it all
Oh I’m so ‘pinching’ that one…. love it 🙂 :diablo:
