Thanks everyone, for making my 21 st Birthday that little bit more special.

Looking forward to a few pints of Lysander with you all at OW in a few weeks time.

PS. MG still availiable, ideal Old Warden transport complete with Tartan rug and matching thermos flask.

Thanks for posting TMN,

Its good to see that the Balliol is now coming together, do they have a set of wings for the project or will they have to scratch build them.

Great shots TNZ, great to see the Pfalz again.

The Be2, is this the ex UK Mosquito Aircraft museum example, that I saw 10 or so years ago, I seem to remember the restoration starting in the UK.

What a superb day, where do I start with the thankyou’s!

A massive thankyou to the guys and girls (Jodie) at BBMF for allowing such priveleged view of the flight. Special thanks to ‘fluffy’ and ‘Stormin’ for organizing the visit and Ade Lynch for a fascinating insight into the electrical workings of the flights aircraft.

Highlight for me was walking or should I say crawling through the lanc, just superb.

What with EK, Petwood and the 617 memorial, this day will be very hard to surpass.

A personal thankyou to Robbo, for carrying out an epic eight hours plus at the wheel, the last few miles on three cylinders.

Here’s a shot of Doug with his Spitfire XVIII, I seem to recall the Spit was going off to Hurn for the application of its paintwork.

Colin, thanks for the Casa (He 111) model photo, could you post a shot of the JU 87 when you get a chance. I guess its a JU 87D, as the film aircraft were based on this model, initially to blend in with the RAFM JU 87G

From the size of the He 111, it looks like one of the Foyer models which were made for promoting the film.

Almost all the radio control models were burnt in Malta due to the cost of transporting them back to the UK, in any case these were of a larger scale. I’ve posted a photo of the Casa model at Hawkinge, which I believe was built for dropping purposes when filming terminal dives etc.
