Oooo!! Which ones gone to Flixton?

Over the years that I have been visiting this forum, I have learned many, many things and my opinions and attitudes to the warbird movement as a whole have changed considerably.

This is largely due to the likes of WarbirdUK and Yak11Fan (and many others) who are actually involved in keeping historic aeroplanes in the air. Without them this forum would, I think, lose it’s way. It is people like this that keep us pointing in the right direction.
While everybody is entitled to their opinion, I think ‘considered opinions’ would be more appropriate.

I think this sums it up…..

1. There is always somebody out there who knows more than you do
2. Only by listening to them can you hope to learn yourself
3. Envy of their postion/abilities should inspire you to achieve…..

…..not to attack

I think RAF Henlow used to have an F.1 as a gate guard.

They still do, I saw it last week. I think it’s WT612 (memory not what it used to be!!).
It might have been recently resprayed as the paintwork looks to be in really excelent condition. It is in an early RAF scheme but without squadron markings. Sadly, it is too close to the fence to photograph but at least it’s being well looked after.

They all took off from Stansted, flew over Duxford, then headed round to Heathrow. The Singapore Airlines Boeing747 flew over Audley End instead of Duxford.

The comment at the time was

‘If he can’t find Duxford from Stansted, how’s he going to find Singapore from Heathrow?’

As for the B52, I was at Farnborough yesterday and we did wonder what kind of impression the US department of Defense was trying to create!!

Doesn’t say much for bombing accuracy does it!!

This year, for the first time, I stopped complaining about the guys (and gals) in period dress and started doing what you’ve done and use them to good effect in my photographs. It’s quite fun, actually, and can be really effective as you’ve just proved.

Thanks
