Duxford Spitfire Show 1996…where the Spitfire polishing all began 🙂

Ashley

Likes: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, No Doubt, The Offspring, Ms Dynamite, Macy Gray, Elvis, Garbage, Michelle Branch, Shakespears Sister, The Eagles, Culture Club, Black Box Recorder, Blur, Blondie, Madonna, Sugababes, Shania Twain, A, and Oliver Darley to name a few.

Dislikes: Sting, all the muppets from Lame Academy and Poop Idol/Stars except for Girls Aloud who I have to admit I think are pretty good actually, 50 Cent, Fast Food Rockers and others similar (although I did like The Ketchup Song and appreciated the novelty value of the Cheeky Girls first song), Ashanti, Alicia Keys, Dire Straits (yes, vey dire), Meatloaf, boring repetitive trance (some stuff is good, other stuff no way), Dannii Minogue (give it up love, you’re never going to even get within a whisker’s length of the success your sister has) Radiohead, S Club Juniors/8 or what ever they are now, Genesis, Phil Collins and so on…(I could spend all day bitching :p )

P.S. Yes, I know I have a very weird taste in music 🙂

Like Steve, I felt very privileged to have been there today…thank you very much for inviting me Snapper, it was a truly memorable occasion.

I also feel in some wierd way I owe it to them.

This is why I stayed today, only I couldn’t quite put it into words earlier.

The two men have been named as Lieutenant Commander Bill Murton and Neil Rix.

Bill and Neil, tonight I salute you.

Eddy…that’s cool…thank you for the clarification…hope you find the info you are looking for.

P.S. And welcome to the board 🙂

Just got back from the show.

Today was the first time I have seen the Firefly fly…for the few minutes she was in the sky I was entranced…a beautiful machine, beautifully flown. Totally shocked at what happened, I felt like turning round and going home…but the two guys in the Firefly died doing what they loved…so I felt (this sounds silly I know) that I should stay because of this.

I do not know the two gentlemen’s names…but today, for a few minutes they made me happy…thank you guys.

I send my sincere condolences to their family and friends

P.S. Yes, Eddy, the show will go on tomorrow.

~Bumping this back up to the top of the forum~

Have just bumped into Mark (Snapper) and seen the first pics of the Memorial…it looks absolutely fantastic 🙂

We have problems uploading pics here at work (we cannot download all the necessary bits and pieces to do it – p*** firewall) Will try and work round it this afternoon though…so watch this space 🙂
