Thanks Nick and Victor for two superb dideos.

Hi Paul, Doodlebug bringing up the rear, again. :roll: I have enjoyed seeing all your Biggin posts and don't know how I missed them. :thumbs: Those F 1s do it for me, especially with their canopies up. But a nice weather beaten Noratlas has to come a close second. :clap: Lovely memories thanks. :) R...

Hi Maurits,

Some lovely memories while looking at those.
To think that I was watching that B2 display 14 years ago.

Kind regards.
Robin

I'm drooling over those Linton.
It's long been on my "to do" list, but it looks like I will have to settle for Arthur's crate of Chablis.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

She looked really nice, a credit to all those who have worked so hard.
I would love to see and hear her.

Thanks for posting those Bollo.
The RC really is an interesting machine, but the B 52 is the cream of the crop for me.

Post by tm74sqn » Tue Jun 17, 2014 10:42 pm I can remember in the early 1960s when SAC B-47s were based at Brize Norton you could (fairly) often see one on approach to runway 26 with its parachute already streamed as it flew over the road - in fact, I've got a b&w photo of one doing exactly that. W...

the first one is a stonker

It certainly is.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

hi Mattyjc,

Irc, it is pretty much as you say, to reduce the rate of wear on the tyres and brakes. Rather an impressive sight.

Hi Paddyboy, It's all right for you! :thumbs: I'm so old I have forgotten much about the Mildenhall shows - that is until you post a programme. :Wow: They really were great shows and, I would argue, much more memorable than IAT. Who can forget the atmosphere engendered by our American friends with t...

Hi Brian, That is a lovely shot emphasising the twin fins of the He 162. :thumb: Clearly I am not up to speed because I thought the CASA 2.111 had left Duxford. I am glad that it is still there. It seems that I am getting in a muddle over the Goodwood Spitfires, I thought the one seen today was the ...

Nice. Would love to have seen that.

Excellent set, you put your week to very good use.

Thanks for posting them.

There was indeed a Spitfire two seater(TR 9?) at Goodwood today,Tuesday, but with serial SM 250.
Also seen was a nice silver two seat Hunter, which I was told does not have an engine.

Are they likely to be carrying out visits to any other bases or airfields when they are here for P.D.s/ missed approaches etc? I think only time will tell. Given that this aircraft is not fully operational, there have been reporst of a recent engine problem, I doubt that they will be very active wh...

The last week sums up what FC is all about, great people sharing an interest in a great hobby coming together in one place. :thumbs: I agree wholeheartedly with Thunder. I feel sure that many of us are indebted to EVERYONE who posted information, be it a snippit, rumour or hint. It is only because ...

Right now I know how the Shack feels.
I will keep an eye open for the T 9 at Goodwood tomorrow.
It's good to see that you also caught the Sabre before she leaves these shores.

Lovely posts Brian.

Hi Paul,

A marvellous post. I would love to have got over the other side to photograph those airframes.

You have caught a piece of history Max.
Thanks for all your Fairford posts.

A great day as you say Afterburner, but a sad on too. We shall miss those beautiful aircraft.

Thanks for providing some memories for those of us who could not be there.
