Re: Park & View West

Probably going to do P&V West on Monday, only done it once before (in 2017). Got some decent shots so thought I would try again. I can't remember how to get there, and if it is concrete or grass parking! I assume you turn off at the Marston Massey junction then take a right fork to P&V?? or is it f...

Re: Davies Monthan

Depending on how much it is these days, it is normally easier to 'fly over the top' with a company called Double Eagle Aviation who are now based in Tucson, having 'moved back' from Avra Valley.

in addition, one of them cannot tell the difference between a B.727 and a B737🤣🤣

Just checked my camera card. First formation T-6 was silver G-BGOR marked 14863. There was also a camo one G-BJST marked AJ841. This was in the third 'group' with HA-LIX. Hope of use.
Thank you

Re: Austrian AB212 at Cambridge July 1988

When I took a group of Air Cadets flying with 5 AEF, on 31 August 1988, it was in the corner of the smaller hangar with no rotors, all the doors off and various panels removed from tail section and cabin. It didn't have any form of turret at that time but looked like it was undergoing some major mai...
