I think I have seen these before – Marham is my guess without any checking of facts. The pattern of hangars and background scenery certainly fits.

Yes, the purists will probably have to boycott this movie, but I think any aviation movie is ultimately a GOOD thing as it will promote interest in warbirds and give the preservation scene a valuable injection of cash. If it gives little Jimmy an interest in Spitfires and Hurricanes, he will eventually work out the historical truth and see the movie for what it is, a popcorn flick. My 11-year old son has a healthy interest in warbirds, all a result of David Puttnam’s ‘Memphis Belle’ – he now knows most ofthe story is inaccurate, but it sowed a seed.

‘Tis probably ZE355 on delivery to the RAF pictured in the USA.

Yes, it was a practice for Friday, but the weather forecast may mean it won’t happen again. All airworthy Jetstreams leave Cranwell Monday 22nd for other pastures – Cosford, Shawbury and Culdrose for dates with the scrapman. We may have all thought ‘another bl**dy Jetstream’ when at the fence at Waddo but they’ll be missed in a small way. 🙁

It seems the MOD have a limit of 5 displays per year, presumbly spread out over the whole country.

Is that something new, or has anyone seen it before.

Surely not, I thought, but thought I’d check and guess what – it’s possibly true! 😮 The five airshows are (in order):

Cosford
Waddington
Culdrose
Leuchars
Yeovilton

And before anyone says, RIAT isn’t a military show.
