Re: Paul Bennett passing

Sorry to hear of Paul's passing. Also met him many times at "The Hall" during early seventies. Great guy, and as already said by many people, had a few tales to tell. R.I.P.

Re: 52TFW F-4E Bentwaters 1985

excellent. Used to love doing the round-Robin on a weekend Alconbury, Lakenheath, Mildenhall, then maybe Bentwaters and Woodbridge just to check out weekend visitors, with lots of F-4's involved.

Just looking back through my logs and I first saw XV168 at Honington on 28th February 1975, 38 years ago. So glad it will survive even longer than me, no doubt....

Re: Classic Air Force DC3

Totally agree. The DC3 was one of the reasons I started my interest in aviation and remember seeing G-AMRA at Gatwick for the first time on 21st June 1969. Happy days

One of 33 B-29's seen at China Lake in 1974. I understand that a few years later one was flown out of their and preserved in a flying state.
