It was Flying A that brought the Hellcat to North Weald, it spent the years after Doug passed away stored in America prior to being ferried to the UK.

Does Airfields of the Eighth work outside East Anglia, the other issue with it is (apart from being big and heavy) is that it’s 26 years old and things have changed. I know what you’re saying though Damien, I do a similar thing 😉 I wonder if that will get me through my Nav Exam when the time comes

The Bent Waters displays were excellent this year

Other than that the practice displays at Woodchurch were truely excellent particularly the Mustangs and the Hunter display.

Watching Gary Numan displaying the Yak11 some years ago at Earls Colne was great, the aircraft and the pilot really brought out the best in one another.

My tastes these days have changed regarding airshows, I rarely go to Duxford and the like, instead I prefer the smaller more intimate airshows such as Woodchurch, Little Grandsden and Old Buckenham.

Dummie! yay got it the wrong way around…hehehe… although it is a close tie for sound, but not for looks, mustang is a very aggressive looking plane, and the harvard is much more elegant to look at… but then i guess if ya got an ME109 on ya ass, i think i would choose the mustang! hehehe

The Mustang is a work of art 😀 I prefer the term purposeful rather than aggressive

😀

Pah!!!!

The only thing that sounds and looks nicer than a T6 is a Mustang

High’s for this year are:

Getting to fly with and photograph 2 P51’s from the back of the 3rd.
Getting to know some great people
Enjoying a fantastic Summer of aviation

Low’s:

Not many to be honest, the runway is still flyable 😀

I don’t want a view of a Tiger mouth, to many sharp teeth and bad breath for my liking 😀
