BRIG01 Flight - Own nav through Daventry Corridor.

Picked him up on 252.875 (but not yet showing up on 360 Rad)

Reminds me of the time I turned into a suburban housing estate in York to be confronted by this:- https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48912500628_7c60e84f69_h.jpg DH Chipmunk WK622 by Michael Britton , on Flickr He did well to land it there! :lol: sorry... :roll: ...on that tiny undercarriage :whis...

Great set of shots, has the Sun ever shone at Leeming? I see you shot them at Gatenby (before it was blocked off

), good old days.

In other words "how long's a piece of string?" Guess I'll just have to watch this space and finger's crossed then, heyho

Thanks for the reply, MarkL

Any idea how long the deployment is on for? The reason I ask is that my hands are tied with various commitments and it's going to be at least a fortnight before I can get away

MarkL

In a similar vein, I vaguely recall someone telling me that on it's final delivery flight to Duxford, when on finals the AAM B-52D had to deploy it's drag shoot before actually touching down on the piano keys? (Myth?

) I know that the M11 was closed briefly for the operation.

Many Happy Returns to the best aviation forum around (IMHO), and long may it continue

Sh*te !!! I was planning to spend Monday there after the Jetfest on Sunday. Was really looking forward to that *******

Loved the smokey old 57's, great post

Never thought of that, a plane with an outside loo

first ZM149 and then ZM150. Of these however, only 150 came in with the "Toilet Seat" up

Love it!

Also worth bearing in mind that in Israel the weekend is Fri and Sat.

Jewish Sabbath is on a Saturday.

Does anyone know if there will be aircraft departing on friday 20th (which i understand is the last day of the exercise) or are they more likely to be departing the following week? Not certain but I've heard it mentioned that the Israelis will be departing on Thursday(19th), the Germans & Italians ...

Remember attending that one, £1.00 admission

Take your brolley

Never seen the P5CTS pod fitted to a b52 before.

Is that the appendage that looks like a sidewinder, located between the port engines?

Yes, the Germans have at least once and will be coming back. Understand the Italians will as well. Pretty sure the isrealis won't.

Ah ya never know, they're still enthusiasts at heart (these air force types), they can always trade by proxy....

Daft question I know; Have any crews been around the WAVE flogging patches (yet)?

Great shot. Not pressurised judging by his helmet?

No they won't - the WAVE will be full of them. Oh sorry you meant the 4-18 year-olds.

B*gger! Forgot about the big kids (and their big tantrums)
