Catching a train, tube and bus to London Airport and seeing what was on the North side before walking through the pedestrian tunnel to the central area and spending the rest of the day on the Queens Building.

Seeing all those lovely large piston engined aircraft – Super Connies, Stratocruisers, DC3’s, DC6’s, DC7’s Convair 240/340/440, Avia 14’s, etc, etc.

Not to mention loads of Viscounts and the early jets such as the Comet, Boeing 707 and the TU-104.

Also all those operational RAF/USAF airfield scattered all over East Anglia all full of interesting types, such as Wethersfield (F100’s), Oakington (Varsities), Stradishall (Hunters), West Malling (Javelins), Waterbeach (Javelins), Wattisham (Lightnings), Alconbury (B66’s), Woodbridge & Bentwaters (F101’s), to name but a few…..

Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes!!!!!!:D

Fascinatiing – I did not know that there was aerial conflict before WW1.

Not really wanting to get tangled up in this but why does your join date say March 2010? Just asking out of interest….:)

I’m sure they were 7/6?

There’s a man after my own heart.:) First two seat cadet flight was a Provost, followed by a few Chippies.
