    There are a couple of pictures in Herbert Leonard’s book “Encyclopedia of Soviet Fighters 1939-51′. The Yak 11s appear to be in an overall light grey scheme, possibly AMT-11, with the normal bordered stars of the period. There don’t seem to be any individual serials. Wings Palette also give this profile:

    These two Bulldogs, but usually the black and yellow one. This was taken during and air-to-air photographic shoot back in February.

    There will be a 90th Anniversary Fly-in on 19-20 August. We had hoped for an airshow this year, but the insurance cover the council insisted on was way to high to be economic. However…

    Every year the Norwegians try to do something to remember their squadrons’ wartime links with the airfield. This year they are planning to make an incredible effort – a C-130 with an airforce and veterans delegation and two fighter squadron commanders in their F-16s. RAF 72 Squadron should be sending some Tucanos as well. This is on top of our resident warbird population and anyone else who might fly in with something interesting.

    The Norwegians are planning to arrive on the Friday and depart on the Sunday.

    Let’s hope all the publicity this visit will generate will help sway things even more in North Weald’s favour.

    I think my broken helmet is reminder enough of that episode, and I got that replaced for free! Thanks for the info anyway, Alan @ The Squadron phoned me earlier. Maybe if Mark has got the sparking plug that blew…

    No need to apologize, Janie, we get used to being pestered by paparazzi. At least there were no nipple slips to embarrass us!

    Yes, but being a de Havilland pilot she needs the distance in feet!
