Another four engined Avro Bomber to take to the skies . . .

Wow, what way to end the week!!! It's just starting to sink in that XH558 is back on the display circuit, and I’ve become accustomed to seeing her all week, parked on Waddington’s south east dispersal as I travel to and from Crawell on the A607 (fingers crossed she’ll be based at Waddington permanen...

Re: Waddington Airshow...

What a day!!! Queued to get in (but not as long as some thanks to local knowledge), queued even longer to get out, and got rained on in the morning, but I’d do it all again in an instant.

Re: A prime candidate for the repainters?

Owww :-( , I didn’t mean to cause offence. I really do rather like it. :$ Admittedly to my untrained eye I can't vouch for it’s accuracy (and by that I mean the scheme itself and not the aircraft it’s applied to!! :lol: ) Certainly, to my mind it’s much better than the usual mundane GA stuff and the...

Re: Vulcan Cleared for Display
