The Lysanders would be the Shuttleworth aircraft, Brian Woodford’s aircraft at the time operated by ARCo (and now in an awful state in Florida) and the Sabena aircraft currently under rebuild following an accident…

Sort of….

Didn’t the French one end up returning to France with the gear locked down? I seem to recall it also missed its displays at La Ferte Alais due to mechanical/electrical issues.

Another three pics of P-51’s. Duxford, but can’t remember when, other than after the Memphis Belle filming.

Possibly the Classic Fighter Display in July 1991

Colin Edwards still owns and maintains G-BICE, it flies on occasion but doesn’t tend to go to many events. I last spoke to Mr Edwards about a month ago and he was keeping well, certainly one of life’s characters…..

As for the Thruxton Harvards, I’ve seen a couple and they both look nice, I’ve also done some work on a centre section they rebuilt, I’m not a fan of the grey paint they used everywhere however….

Rolf Meum was one of the OFMC pilots who flew the MiG before it went to Brazil.

Difficult to come up with a ‘best’ flight, I’ve been lucky to have so many memorable flights over the years and every time I fly the Stearman its better than the time before, as for the worst flight, it probably involves an XL airways night flight back from a holiday in Greece, horrible cramped thing full of screaming kids….

It didn’t so much crash into the fence as roll into it and put the wingtip over the top… no damage done…
As for the Mustangs… it was as much news to us that they were going to North Weald as it was for you…
