Nice 109 there, are visitors usually allowed to get that close, or was it a special deal on behalf of the modellers group (which I presume is who you went with?).

No special deal, no modellers group, just a mate and me....and a few tall tales of a father who was a wartime pilot to the people that lifted barriers :O:

Goering carrier!! (Ju-52)

Nice V1 launch ramp there, I presume they have a V2 there as well?

I like how they've arranged the gun on the Brick/Rhino and the 'pilot' on the Hurri. :yep:

Nope, never saw a V2.

Eep, thank God for prompt fire services! The Rapide is a lovely craft and it would have been a shame to have lost one.

Lovely shots, Jim. I've seen a lot of those aircraft fly in the '80s and it's making me kind of sad that the current airshow season has just ended - not that there are many nowadays.

Swing by on your way to IWM/Hendon next time, won't you! :D

I nearly went up in a Harvard too but must admit to bottling it in the end...not comfy sitting on a parachute.
