BA279 Musee Canopee Chateaudun 21st Oct 2023
As many of you are probably aware the French Airforce have stored some of their aircraft at Chateaudun Airbase east of Le Mans . When the air force moved out it seemed to become very difficult to visit but after seeing a post last month I contacted them and was told visits are now possible again on ...

Just Jane Nude
As I was in Lincolnshire yesterday I popped it to see how Just Jane was getting on . She does look very strange without any paint .

Cranfield Festival of Flight 17th Sept 2016
As it was billed as the first airshow at Cranfield since the since the 90's I thought I would go and have a look around . I used to go there regularly when I was young and even found the Beagle Pup that we went up in . To give you an idea of time scale the TRS2 was parked between the hangars . The l...

Atlantic City Airshow NJ August 2016
As we happened to be in New Jersey the same week as the airshow I took the opportunity to see what the US airshows are like compared to Europe . My conclusion from this show was they like their flypasts . The aerobatic displays were very good as well . It was great to see the Thunderbirds as I haven...

Re: Duxford American Air Show - 29/5/16
Nice set Cameron , I was thinking your photo angles were very similar to mine then realised I think I was standing next to you . It did turn out to be a much better day than I was expecting . Great catch on the Osprey departure

American Air Show Duxford 29th May 2016
After deciding late Friday evening to attend the show on Sunday I wasn't really sure what to expect . We arrived about 9.45 and it was very quiet and grey and freezing . After a quick walk up the flight line it was into the cafe for coffee and a defrost . It wasn't looking good , but as usually with...
