Reapers Benty Bash 2018

Hi Peeps :P

House move has precluded much posting in recent times, I'm afraid :blush:

Just had our annual BCWM visit, so I thought I would post just a few :whistle:

As always, big thanks to Graham, his cohorts and the Lazy Company for making it memorable yet again :thumbs:

Hope they are worth a peek :)

Great stuff Paddy. What's the situation with the various phantoms, harrier, Jaguars? Are they being restored for museums? Also love the hangar door art around the place

Hi Peeps :P

Not a clue as to the future of those classic 'frames, as we are always asked to keep away from them as far as possible, by the owners :whistle:

Could be they will all end up as scrap :'(

BCWM's own Jag is being restored to ground-running condition :thumbs:

Best regards :thumb:

Hi Paddy 😁
Always thought they were drop tanks😉
Great day out as per usual. Watching a Pro Photographer with his all his equipment was an added bonus.
Take care, how about some beef for a change😛
Best Nick

Great pics there! Me and my son were on the walk too, we had a really enjoyable day.

Sad to see some of those FGR.2s looking in such a sad state, I believe they are all up for sale on the Everett Aero website. I also noticed several Tornado front windscreen assemblies lined up on the ground along with a big pile of Tornado wings so no doubt we'll see a few Tonkas lined up there too in the not too distant future.

And there's plenty more where that came from!

Interesting selection

Those jugs do look a bit dirty!

( I reckon they were really for carrying beer)
