Excellent pictures, Lee. I'd have loved to been there.

I went on the sunday and nothing flew D.
16 Spites, Hurries the jug etc etc and only the Chinook and a Chippy managed a flight the weather never got beyond 400 yards visability all day so they gave us a discount on the next event. I was mighty pissed of I tell yer.

I bet you were! And the discount wouldn't have helped me as I'm 2 hours away. And it probably wouldn't have been worth the effort.

Great shots, Lee. I especially like the closeup of the Gladiator engine. Yep, the weather can put a crimp in things, but hey, you still got to hang around old airplanes! That's not so bad.

Heres a bit of local news from yesterday 28th sept .
600 meters off of Canvey Island sea shore (which is about 800 meters from my house) a survey vessel discovered what they took to be a WW2 mine. RN bomb disposal arrived and after a zero visability finger tip recon by naval divers it was found to be a L mine mkIII these where planted in the shipping channels by the British and linked to the shore by cable where a sentry would be able to detonate it under any enemy vessels attempting a sneak attack. This particular one contain 3200lbs of explosive. Due to its proximity to housing it was raised and taken to Shoburyness MOD range 5 miles away where it was detonated in 10 meters of water sending up a 200 ft column of water.
