The snow wasn’t to bad past Duxford.. At stansted it had almost all gone by 9.00am.

But i was told it was worse the further towards Norfolk you got… what where you going to fly from where?

We flew down to Duxford on the Sunday from a Norfolk grass strip, nice and snowy on the runway, however as you came west to the A140 the snowline seemed to stop and then all was clear until you got west of Haverhill, interesting to see. Anyway you can keep the snow, I’ll stick to the 30 degrees I am in right now with aeroplanes everywhere (some of then are even a bit interesting).

Peter Andre, total trash first time around, oddly enough total trash this time around. As for the Darkness, they should be sunk alongside the Lowestoft Harrier.

What about a collection of sad looking aircraft sitting in a corner at North Weald.

From the BBC site “Historic Flying has restored 12 Spitfires since it was set up by Karel Bos out of his “passion for vintage planes” 20 years ago.”

20 years, my doesn’t time fly, looks like I may now be older than I thought I was.

Sorry to hear that Moggy, I seem to recall reading the accident report. Have you flown a Yak since?

The engineering has been fun (seen that Hurricane book I did? Lots of nuts and bolts in that. That book paid for my Ceconite!)

I have seen the book, got my copy yesterday, fantastic 😀 Now I know what I should have done with the piles and piles of photograhs I have of the same Hurricane projects 😉

Today I don’t fly except as a passenger in a Cessna 172, AT6-D Harvard or P51D Mustang, however I have just (this afternoon) passed my Class 2 medical so I’m off to learn to fly very very soon.

I believe it was sold to an owner in Ireland, as far as I know its still there.
