Red Admiral had a camera in the back during his display and they got some really nice footage which will hopefully end up on one of the Duxford videos/DVDs this year.
Moggy – I was crewing the Storch. What time were you over there?
Sorry to hear that Moggy. At least you got to fly in something.
My planned trip into Clacton got scrubbed because of the wind 🙁 Clacton would have been fine but getting out and back into Rayne would have been impossible…
I did however have a good cub session on Sunday practising my wheelers. I’m sure the people in the clubhouse at Andrewsfield had great fun watching me land and then go down the whole runway holding my tail in the air. I think I mastered them in the end 😀
I completed my PPL at Andrewsfield last year and the final lesson before my flight test was spinning. The Cessna 152 will come out of the spin anyway but we held it in for a couple of turns just so I could experience the sensation.
They say that you are taught to avoid spinning, but if one happens would a person who has had no spinning training know what to do? I’m glad my instructor is still one of those people who insists on covering it.
In my opinion spinning should be taught before a student is even allowed to go solo. Yes it may put people off flying , but if it saves lives all the better.
I’m afraid not. Dad has never painted MH434. Ok. Not entirely true. He did paint and fibreglass Spitfire for Breitling as MH434. I know it is one Spitfire that he did want to paint too.
I was also thinking a Skyraider. It looks like a 2 seat one.
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 13-02-03 AT 02:42 PM (GMT)]I have to admit to this. I help remove the Moose.
When Dad was respraying the OFMC aircraft when the Breitling Fighters were first formed, he gave me and a few others the job of rubbing the cowlings of Candyman/Moose down (obviously not well enough if it could still be seen)
That’s my confession.

And I have a Mustang named after me 😛 – Chuck Yeager’s Glamorous Glen 🙂
If you have I’ll remove the links from my signature. I know what computers are like so this would not surprise me at all. I’ve never heard of this though.
