Sqn Ldr Duncan Mason who piloted the Hurricane, is to be the new OC at the BBMF from next year. He did a flypast that I booked last August over Blyton, and I caught up with him at LLA day at Coningsby in September. Bloody nice bloke. He cancelled the original flypast due for the Saturday in a Spit, but turned up the following day in a Hurricane!!! Top man. He later rang me when he landed at Blackpool, and after a brief conversation, I invited him for a return flypast on his way back to Coningsby later that day, to which he politely declined as it was ‘off route’ on the way back. Well at least I tried.
Nice to see Parky was in the Spit, although I’m surprised that the current OC Smithy, wasn’t involved.
Good show by the BBMF as ever.
