RE: Happy Easter
“And Rabie, while I’ve got your attention could you do me a favour? I know you’re a legend at digging out info and pics, I’d really appreciate it if you could see what you could find out about aviation places of interest in your part of the country, Kent, as I may be down there in the summer. Particularly anything off the beaten track or a little bit out of the ordinary.“
not sure if i’ve got this right but two good places to go are
the musem at the old RAF manston (by Margate – now called something like kent interantional airport)
right round the corner from me, the medway aircraft preservation society – there is a thraead about this on flypast with some good links. they have done up a laod of planes. i went there and you basically are right up touching the spitfire they were doing up at the time. its just a volunter orgaisation on the samll rochester airport. if you can this is worth a try.
there isn’t a musem at biggin hill, just replica spits and hurricnaes as gate guards – not sure whats a lydd airport but other than that not that much in kent really. dover castel has a nuclear bunker underneath it that is intresting but it isn’t aviation.
ask for more details.
