2. That we will lose a major airfield and home to many warbirds and all the fun that goes with that. No FlyPast fly in. No home for Jumpin’ Jacques. No home for Kennett. No home for The Squadron. No home for Area 51. No home for the sad B25 “Bedsheet Bomber”. No home for what is left of the late Doug Arnold’s aircraft. No home for Robs Lamplough’s aircraft. And many many more.

Who or what is Area 51????

Not sure if Bedsheet Bomber will need a home before much longer

David Arnold now seems to have a new home for his containers.

Doesn’t Robs keep a lot of his stuff down at his farm?

That aside my letter is with the council and I will back it up again today (got a different address now)
:p

If Jumping Jaques needs a home I’m sure I can find it one.

Be careful what you say about OFMC aircraft, someone will have you for it.

Nice enough Mustang, seems to be improving steadily. Not as good as the best though. 😀 😀 😀 😀

I agree the Mitchell is in a sad state. I had a good look at it 10 years ago and it wasn’t a pretty sight then, to be honest I’m suprised it’s still standing.
North Weald is home to some wonderful aircraft, but there are also those that cause some concern the B25 being one, the orange Catalina being another. I hope the Cat finds a home before much longer I keep seeing it advertised for sale from time to time I would hate for it to end it’s days there.

I don’t know about you guys but I think Peter Teichman’s Staggerwing has a bit of dirt on it, those wheels really aren’t as shiney as they used to be 😀 😀

Whats up with the B25 anyway, no rudders, is it a spares machine or something?

Lovely shot of the Spitfire, I think I can see my face in it.

The B25 is slowly returning to nature. 😡

I’m not sure is that’s your face or the squadron insignia you can see on the Spitfire 😀

Wot no Mustangs???????

Good to see the Mitchell looking as pristine as ever, just hope the DC4’s don’t go the same way, they don’t look to have been too active in the last 12 months.

1m wont go very far at all on a flying aeroplane. The cost of restoring a Spitfire from a wreck is very nearly 1m alone. And thats by people who know what they are doing.

How much would it be for people who don’t know what they are doing???? 😀 😀 😀

Fair point, I was coming from the ‘being hard on the aircraft’ (and ego) point of view. I have the greatest of admiriation for anybody who straps themselves into a Warbird and runs along the ground at 300mph and does all that twiddly stuff.

Blue leader, “best of the best” mmmm rather a brash statement I think one of the best would be more correct. There are a lot of good display pilots around and some that are not around, all diserve the correct recognition as do the volunteers etc that put them in the air so we can go and watch their displays.
Ps “Best of the best” we are in the UK not out at Mirromar.

Well said Digby, I can think of a number of people who may take exception with the original statement.

How many Hurricanes could they field for the movie (IF they used Hurris at all). Four? Five?

If they bring aircraft from the US then I guess we get around 9 which could make life interesting. Give it a year and we may get a couple more.

Thanks Mark,

I thought those were the serials but as my world is inside cardboard boxes at the moment I wasn’t sure. Any idea where they are now? Didn’t Craig Charleston have one of them at one point?
