I guess you could say that I’m biased towards Dad’s paint jobs for personal reasons too 🙂

If I am thinking of the same flat spitfire display at Little Gransden, that was not Charlie flying the Spitfire. It was Dad. Charlie flew the Hurricane that year.

A good flat display works. I think they stand out from the other displays because there are flat and there are fewer of them so people think “that was different”.

This does not mean that I’d want to see all flat displays. The mixture we have works. We have just had a bad time of it lately. We need to learn from it and continue with what we all enjoy.

When learning I always used a cut off broom handle to check the fuel levels. I found this a strange concept to start with but when you start to look at in inaccuracies in the fuel gauges you can see why people use other means of checking what is available. The one thing” Broom handle” method does make you do is sit down and work out your fuel calculations properly

Now I rely on a cork and wire system. It’s simple but effective 🙂

I guess we are balancing out the fact that the Cub was flying at the September show and the Storch was sat on the ground.

I would like to the see the La-9 on the list too but I guess it does not fit in with the shows film theme. I’ve managed to miss it this year. It returned from Goodwood with the other Breitling aircraft at the end of the September show and was downwind for a run and break as I was airborne departing the field…

Maybe next year…

I wonder why he didn’t put it down on the grass???
