These were all taken at a North Coates fly-in, in 1999:- G-SCUB, G-BKVM ‘Spirit of Goxhill’ & G-PDOG (which I guess fits in the ‘thingz’ category). And Breighton’s Aeronca, taken earlier this year.

Dean – sounds like you’ve already fallen under the Breighton spell! Join the Club and get involved – you’ll love it!

Any pictures of your Uncle at Breighton?

Hmmm… I’ll have to have a think about that. I subscribe to that many things – I’d be a rich man if I cancelled them all ;).

Unfortunately I only have one photograph of him and it’s not at Breighton – see http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=63864 there’s a copy of his postings on that thread as well; his last being Breighton. Apart from what’s in the clubhouse, do you have any other memorabilia of 78 Sqdn?

Ahh, that’s where it’s gone! I remember seeing this put on a display at OW a few years back. For some reason I always thought it was Nick Mason’s… (right group though!) – Love that colour scheme.

That’s disappointing! I’d been meaning to go to Breighton for years (never did see Taff’s pink Spit.) so I made the effort this year and went to the summer bash – Blimey it was hot! And what a show! The atmosphere and intimacy of this place is just excellent and the flying display was a pure delight… a tonic to Waddington, which we’d attended two weeks previously! Only an hours drive away, with three resident, Merlin engined, fighters – Great! Having been bitten by the Breighton bug I was looking forward to my next visit, so I was sad to see the Hurricane and Buchon depart… and now Suzy’s going! :(. I shall return, as it’s a first-rate place and a great collection, but the biggest attraction for me was the Hurricane, Buchon and Mustang. If they’re still over here, and it can be arranged, it would be nice to see them return for next years summer do.

I’ve had this shot as my desktop wallpaper since the summer – I never tire of looking at it.

Does ANYONE have a clue about #82 right? The suspense is killing me! FF

An expansion scheme airfield first used by Blenheims. Actually, I’ve just checked back and it was identified in post #87.

In that case I’d take a guess at Conningsby.

Dean – Post 321: Kirmington (Humberside Int.)?

Mike & Chris – Chris is correct, it’s Kirmington (now know as Humberside Airport). The shot was taken from the footpath at the southern end of the main runway (marked with an X on this pic); which was extended sometime in the 90’s. Shame they don’t have the airshows there any more.

Dean.

DeanK – did you receive my e-mail regarding the Kelstern photo?

Chris, yes, received you’re mail OK – thanks for that. Having problems with my e-mail now, so not been able to reply.

Post #321, Boscombe Down?

Mike – further north than Boscombe; it was a bomber base during the war.
