Yak 11, i’m in the Hardwick area on tuesday. Do you know if Janie would be viewable should i find the airfield?
Just seen your post, sorry not to reply in time, did you find the airfield?
I did on the Sunday for a while.
Last night at around 7.15 I looked out of my window to see the Red Arrows complete with smoke running in low over Norwich airport, seemed to do one run through and then off, still better than Bargain Hunt Live :p

I am not aware of any others airworthy within Europe. The T6 which was operated by OFMC at Duxford was initially imported through The Squadron at North Weald before ending up with OFMC. There was also another pretty rough Zero film mock up which was with Aces High which has since moved on for restoration as a T6. I believe that there was one other T6 in the UK also mocked up for filming of Empire Of The Sun which was under restoration, however I’m not sure how far this has got.
I wonder these days whether the CAA would allow a Zero replica to fly over here as their regulations are a lot tighter than they were some years ago, or if they would insist on engineering drawings, stress calculations etc for the conversion.
Hi Moggy,
Which of the aircraft were you flying on Friday at the reunion?
So thats what you look like without the Goatee Snapper:)
So thats where you were hiding on Friday Moggy, I was over at Knettishall ad was keeping an eye out for you but you were nowhere to be seen.
As for your quiz It looks like an old grey wing on an even older lorry.

Interesting pics Doughnut, where did you take them?
Cranfield???
OK I’m guessing.
So who’s up for the Scottish get together to watch the punch up then. 😉 :p
Hi Vintage,
Were you the chap on the other end of the radio then, having to deal with shed loads of aircraft all turning up at once, some taxying off to the wrong side of the runway, and one or two not bothering to talk at all?
A slightly different angle shot of the Mustang take off.
I came, I saw, I went home again. An interesting event, caught up with some old friends, a few interesting visiting aircraft, left before the display though had to get back. Anyone else there today?
