    I liked his paddle 'gloves' best.
    Fine on a sunny day in a Leicestershire lake, but having to ditch in the sea with that must have been the most terrifying prospect! I'd no idea they were so 'snug'.

    I spent four hours in a modern one floating around the Bristol channel. i was supposed to be picked up by a seaking but they got called out to a real emergency and so i was eventually picked up by a lifeboat!

    because we were outside territorial waters they brought out the rum ration!

    The "ME109" is in fact a Casa1119 rather than a ME108 which was a four seater.


    Is it? I thought it was a Hispano HA-1112 (Spanish re-engined Me 109)!

    Boys, where was this show as the Dakota flew over my place of work yesterday, very low, at about 4PMish. This was in Staffordshire

    The show's in Leicestershire, but I'm told the Dakota was also at the Duxford show on the same days (where she lives, I think, with the HFMC).
    Busy old thing apparently.

    You are right on the designation and they were like the spainish version of the henkil 111 re-engined with merlin engines

    Aaaaah right! But i still don't get why she was over Staffordshire! Duxford is way south of us so she shouldn't have been over us..........

    Hang on, the one I saw was the BBMF Dakota, I recognised her paintwork. I think i shall have to check out the website to see where she was flying yesterday.

    I am a little slow today, always am after work.

    I went to the show on Saturday and It's the best mock battle i've seen and it was an incredible sight when the Lancaster flew in from my left at tree top level doing a bombing run over the battle field, a priceless moment. Looking forward to VS 2008.
    This is the best picture i got by the time i got my camera. :)

    Anyone know what this lovely old thing is? came in to land so slowly it looked like it was going to crash...

    That first picture of the P51 with the UJ would have been worth a fortune if it was a Spit mate...Great Shot nonetheless !

    I don't think that Matador was for sale... but a much nicer one was up for offers at the 2007 show :unsure:.

    Have you seen the price of De-Ac Vickers?
    Strewth!
    Still regret not buying one years ago in Oxford for £250.

    Bugger!
    Well I have to tell you, Singe, that myself and the other half thought you were one of the more convincing looking Tommies there (though we couldn't decide if anyone would look good with a few tons of Armoured car underneath 'em...).
    On top of that, yours is one of the photos I'm actually reasonably pleased with from the day. Cheers for sharing your machine with the great unwashed.

    We were wondering how many others that might potter on here were about at the show, so that's at least one.
