Some of the pics are dark because I didn't have the flash on (to conserve battery) and I still ran out of batteries, so I was warming the battery after every photo to get the last ones...

I didn't pay for the either, just was thankful for the second battery I had with me at the time (left it where I was spending the night though)

CC you'll proberly be interested to hear that the fusilage of the Fighter Collection's CR.42 has just made it back to England (the wings have been back for some months now) and after she has been assembled it's hoped she'll be back in the air in a few display seasons time..........

yup, two in fact. one (registered as G-GLAD, formerly N5903) is going pretty well, again with the Fighter Collection, like you say they'd make a great pair, and the other (registered G-CBHO, formerly N5719) is in very early stages with the Retro Track and Air, the CR.42 (registered G-CBLS) will be up before either of these Glads, and you are of course aware of the Shuttleworth Collection's immaculate airworthy Gladiator........
