    Sorry if it’s a little off topic and is not quite the real thing, but at the weekend I was sorting through the balsa models my late father made (but mostly never completed) which included the Sparrowjet.

    Thanks for that! I only saw specks in the distance, but my 9yr old saw them. This afternoon he told me he saw Chipmunks yesterday – now I understand!

    Three aircraft did a formation fly past at 1.30 on Friday afternoon – just wondering if anyone was there who could say what they were? I always pick the wrong time to go in the hangars!

    Hadn’t been for a couple of years, but an enjoyable day out as ever on 13th April.

    The Mew Gull was having engine runs, while a steady stream of visitors flew in and out. Cessna taildraggers seemed to be the order of the day!

    The Woodman Inn at Nuthampstead has lots of great photos and memorabilia of the 398th Bomb Group, and good food and beer.

    Just stumbled back on this thread and want to say thanks to G-ORDY for the photo of Magister G-AKPF at the 1973 Duxford show. That’s exactly how i remember it on the day and for a large chunk of my childhood. For the record, the EAAS attempted restoration took place in a large shed in a back garden in Steeple Morden, not Bassingbourn, for much of the 1970s.

    Willip26 – all I can say is lucky you!!!

    Wolds Gliding Club at Pocklington used to use the fuselage of 330 OY-MUB, I don’t know if they still do.

    Had my very first flight in G-AOIR many moons ago – an absolute treat and a lovely aircraft.
