Nice pics, who’s the good looking chap hanging out the back of the Harvard with a camera stuck to his face??? :p
😀 So your not going to Wings and Things then Janie? Personally I don’t believe I have a choice, I am expected in Kent apparently. 😀
Very nice, thank you for sharing these pics Greenskeeper.
Any chance of poting some pics of the Mustang and Corsair either here or in a new thread. I for one would love to see them as I’m sure others would.
I’ve not 😉
Without a shadow of doubt the person I would most like to thank is a good friend of mine Maurice Hammond, who not only has allowed me unlimited access to his collection of beautiful aircraft and given great support and encouragement whilst carrying out my recent PPL, but has also offered me great help outside of the aviation world.
Life is good 😀
I’m impressed you tackled the Mustang Burger Moggy, we’ve all been to scared to try it yet. I’ll look out for your pic on the wall next time I am there.

Er……
Beech Staggerwing please. (Anyone got a pic of Dave Gilmour’s one to post?)
Moggy
Now owned by Peter Teichman, still at North Weald. Not the best pic, but reasonably new (Feb 04)
….and there was me expecting to see a Mustang, oh well.
In case anyone is interested there will be 2 possibly 3 Mustangs and 2 Harvards in Kent tomorrow, Headcorn may be a good place to spot them during the afternoon.

You hardly see the Harvard as a display item these days. I remember them being quite a popular type in the 80’s
You must be going to the wrong shows 😉
There was a 2 ship at Bent waters and Little Grandsden, a 3 ship at Old Buck last year and a 5 ship formation at Woodchurch as well as a number of solo Harvard displays at venues such as Seething and Marham last year.
Looks like engine problems to me 😉
Chris Bevan is still flying, displaying the Harvard and Yak 11 for Rob Davies at times, as well as assisting others hone their flying skills based on his experience, a very interesting person to chat to as well.
Eddie Coventry doesn’t display any more, still has his Cap10 though.
That’s why I wear a parachute 😉
Some get cleaned very often 😉 I can think of a collection where the entire fleet of 5 have been cleaned over the last week.
