Another one for you: Luff, D. (1987) Bulldog – The Bristol Bulldog Fighter. Airlife (ISBN 0 906393 94 9). A pretty comprehensive review of the type and it’s service. Don’t know if it’s still available though but worth looking for.

There were two L-29s flying in the opening scene, one was flown by Mark Hanna.

Cheers VoyTech – having never seen it I was just going on what I’ve found out/read elsewhere.

What a superb, honest and frank account of a very scary experience, especially of his later feeling and emotions. Very good to read this and happily it can actually be told properly. I first read of this event in ‘Tales From the Crewroom’ (Berry, D. 1990, Opsprey Aviation, London). Although the narrative doesn’t name names, it does make mention of the wooden box in place of a bang seat – – which we now know to be wrong!

I think sometimes we are previlidged to read something as compelling and honest as this.

It’s a very good site, Chris, and a hell of a lot of work went into creating such a great archive.

Completely agree Robbo – stupendous on-line resource and much work involved; especially when you read around it and realise the age of the guy who’s done all of the work. Invaluable quick reference stuff!

Back to Bond films – the L29 which appeared was in ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’. The aircraft was flown by Taff Smith. A few more details here: RACo and click the ‘Company’ link.

Just thought on – you could always have a trawl over the ‘Lost Bombers’ web site.

http://www.lostbombers.co.uk/

That might help.

Wonder if anybody can help here.
I am helping a local Historian in Germany regards some info he is needing for writing a book.
He is seeking information about a British Bomber that was shot down just outside the Town of Oeding near the Dutch Border on 2/6/1942, sadly this is the only info he has.
Over to anybody who can help……..

Although I don’t have a copy at the moment, an easy place to start (as a suggestion) would be “RAF Bomber Command Losses of the Second World War: 1942 Volume 3” by W. R. Chorley (ISBN: 090459789X, Midland Publishing). It’s an excellent series of books which lists just about everything and isn’t expensive (try Amazon UK ). That ought to get you started.

Yep. They all count! I think I should change it to all warbirds, not just classic warbirds.

Here goes then. I’ve been looking for this for ages (since the mid-80’s) – perhaps the best rock video by one of the World’s best rock bands. You’ll need java enabled to view it as it’s Youtube. Turn it up and enjoy and great song on sunny summer’s day!

Van Halen – ‘Dreams’ (from the album ‘5150’)

Before I post what I was going to post – do A-4 Skyhawks count? I noticed someone earlier mention a music video and some people may already guess which one I’m talking about!

And there’s me thinking it was just the flying arrivals which were unpredictable!

Hope Taff enoyed his birthday as much we enjoyed attending! (I’m sure he did)

Sunday at Breighton

Just have to add to what’s been said here. Not long back from one of the most enjoyable days ever. NO bouncy castles or fun fairs, magnificent photo opportunities and a superb, diverse range of aircraft with pretty much constant flying for over four or more hours. All this in superb Yorkshire sunshine for tenner. It has to be one of the friendliest of little venues – certainly laid back and no-one rushes around – big garden party really. And with the Buchon & MH434 displaying as a pair for the show finale – well……

It’s my fourth Breighton of one shape or another and it never fails to please. A big thanks to everyone involved for suberbly organised, diverse event. Cheers.
