Agree with the last two posts. Drop into my little burg(runway length - 5033ft./1534m), keep the engines running, we'll hug it out, photo op, and then I'll give you a slap on the keester and send you on your way.

lol Geo!

I am surprised that Gary didn't see anyone while he was in SoCal, there's GregP, Syscom, Wheels, Ontos, JKim and Evangilder - just to name a few.

Perhaps they heard that Gary was driving and all ran for cover?

Flying Legends 2017

Some of us have been discussing meeting up for the 2017 Flying Legends airshow at Duxford in 2017.
The dates are now confirmed - Sat 8th and Sun 9th July, 2017, so start making those hotel/flight/campsite/girlfriend etc reservations !!!

 

[Crimea_River]

Oh my. Thought it was August. Will need to do some checking with the family.

Always the second weekend in July Andy, but I didn't post the dates until I confirmed it with TFC.
The Duxford September airshow will be later next year - weekend of 24th Sept.

Gary, my sincerest apologies. I was hyped to go and forget to check your dates. Then when you did come around, that nasty Hurricane That Wasn't showed up. Got stuck doing stuff here. If you check in next year, you know I will buy the brew!

Karl and I visited the RAF Museum, Hendon on Saturday, to meet-up with Marcel, and his father in law, Hans, over from Holland.
I'm afraid the pic is terrible, a combination of the very poor, mixed lighting in the museum, and the passing visitor who used my little Fuji 'bridge camera' without letting it focus first.
From left to right - me (sans moustache !), Karl, Marcel and Hans.
We had a great day together, and have arranged to meet-up again at the Oostwold airshow in Holland next May.
Hopefully, Marcel will have a better pic or two.

Pity it didn't turn out so well. Would have loved to see the non-hirsute face in better resolution!

 

[Gnomey]

Good shot!

Thanks very much chaps, and Andy, it's probably just as well, as the 'new' face carries a mandatory Government Health and Safety Warning !!!

 

[vikingBerserker]

Where is the Wildcat??????

 

[Capt. Vick]

I think it takes years off you Terry. And holy tall Marcel! The rest of the guys look they're your kids!

 

[Marcel]

I do have a better picture Terry, but it'll have to wait until I get home.

Nice one Marcel, look forward to seeing it.
Yep, Marcel is tall. During the drive down to London, knowing that many people from the Netherlands are tall, Karl and I placed bets on his height. Karl said 6 feet 2 inches, I said 6 feet 4 inches - and won the bet !!

 

[Marcel]

I posted a new thread in the Off topic section Terry. BTW what did you win?

 

[Airframes]

Just looked at it Marcel - nice set of pics.
I won the right to pay for the beers that night ..............

 

[Marcel]

I'll put some more if my pictures later when I've sorted them out.
