I’ve signed it as well….good luck to you all.

The Hunter GA11 XE707 now has tiger stripes for the event !!, and the ex Spanish Air Force Navajo fuselage is on static display on a very interesting undercarridge 🙂

Are you involved at Bentwaters ?

I remember meeting a chap at Mildenhall many years ago, who gave me a CD of the history of Bentwaters.
He had compiled it over a number of years, with the help of ex-USAF personnel.

“Bentwaters, The Living Years” by Graham Haynes

Yes i help run the museum,my name is also Graham but not the one you met !!

Graham Haynes is the chairman of the Bentwaters Aviation Society which runs the museum,Graham as well as his CD on Bentwaters has also written a book called ‘Bentwaters & Woodbridge – An Illustrated History of the Twin Base Complex in East Anglia’
Although i’m biased i think its the best book available covering the two airfields 🙂

Interesting to see the Husky. If I remember rightly, they used to start the
Wethersfield airshow off with a simulated bomb run, by a flight of F-100s.
Setting light to hay bales to simulate the strike. Which was then extinguished
by their fire service, with the help of a Husky.

Anyone else want to add some scans ?

The Husky in the photo 62-4533 was with the 40 ARRW at Upper Heyford from 1966 to 1973 then it went to Alconbury for storage until August 1974 when it went to a scrapyard at Snailwell near Newmarket in Suffolk.

Hope the chaps at Coventry are progressing well on restoring their Husky as they are great looking machine,wish we had one at the Bentwaters Cold War Museum as they were based at nearby Woodbridge as well.

Very much a storm in a teacup!

Not really…nowadays it only takes one lone voice to complain loud enough and they get taken notice of.

I can not remember seeing any photo’s of the Voodoo’s routine in our museum archive but i will investigate further.
