    Storch

    although your last requirement may preclude all but the chippie….

    Cessna Airmaster has caught my eye, but that is a 4 seater….

    Apologies if you find any small handprints around the nose, my kids saw the ‘Wet Paint’ sign and had to check. 😮 ….I think it was touch dry by then, so hopefully it is OK

    Looking very nice tho’
    What’s happening with the rest of it?

    Hey Wessex Boy,,, did you go to Goldfingers?

    No…but, the touts were very persuasive at outlining the services and special offers there!

    We ended up at a club that had one dance floor for dancing yourself, and another for watching other people…. :dev2:

    I thought that being stationed just outside Doncaster in my youth was an education on life, but that was only Primary school-level!

    Nice photos wb, how is the prototype looking?

    Regards, SFF

    Thanks SFF, The Prototype is coming along, still engineless and the tailcone needs some TLC, but it is mainly yellow!

    I had to include the picture of the bulkhead panel in the Dove, must get me some decor at home like that, my wife didn’t seem quite so keen….

    The Comet flightcrew looked a little inexperienced…

    The jokes are getting worse!
    I did guess correctly that it would be Papa Lima with the correct answer though…

    That looks almost like a deliberate manoeuvre, especially compared with some other French low flying vids…

    I Noticed in a Wal-Mart in the US, you can buy a pretty detailed 1:18th scale toy F104!
    I was tempted!

    The Utterly Butterly wingwalkers have clinched it for me, they are my kid’s favourite! 😉

    From My point of view there is nothing like seeing a big pair of radials carving up the sky 😀

    Help! I’ve got Delhi Belly! Can anyone recommend a cure apart from Imodium and a cork? I won’t be able to get there otherwise…

    Just clench and take shorter steps 😉

    As you can see in the second photo, it’s a bit dark in the Warboys direction and apart from a bit of rain at about 4.10 the bad weather seemed to be going either side of Wyton. Fortunate for us. Photos taken at about 4.25.

    We were fine until luchtime, then literally as my new car was delivered it rained….it was clean and shiny for how long? 🙁

    I do like the VC10, it still looks like something that appeared in Thunderbirds! Such a clean and crisp design that hasn’t aged at all.
    I sheltered from the rain in one at the Binbrook Last of the Lightning show!

    Pen Pusher, How come you had sunshine at Wyton, and 5 miles away in Warboys I had mainly cloud and rain on Tuesday?
    Wish I had known about this, I would have brought the kids down, didn’t even hear it, which is unusual.
    great photos, thanks
