A Day at Bruntingthorpe...

I went to this fantastic airfield last week and was blown away by the gems hidden away here..only opens Sundays..well worth a fiver donation..and if aircraft are being worked on then its open doors..

A rare Victor bomber (nose only)

Told to stand in front of the Guppy...

Excellent Tony! great shots!

That Victor exterior profile of the shot gives me an idea for a halloween costume mask.

Make a great profile of one anyway...

Great shots Tony. The Guppy interior is especially interesting, owning A2As Stratocruiser as I do.

A question, Tony...does Bruntingthorpe have an 'open cockpit' policy, or was it just a special day when you could gain access to them ?

[VEGAS]

Top Shots Tony. Thanks for sharing.

I can see a visit to Brunters on the cards at some point. Its on my list of places to go.

Come on a Sunday Paul and if someone is working on a bird then its 'open' to view...

I'll be going to the Fast taxi run on the 29th of Aug if anyones interested...Eddie...? Paul..?

Great shots, Tony, I'd love to swing by Brunty on my next visit to Blighty - lots to do and see there it seems. My daughter suffers the same fate as yours; right now she's 4 and loves it, hopefully that stays the same but come the teenage years I think it'll be more of the same 'told to stand there' as your

Love the Petter Blue trolley acc in the first Victor shot. I've been spending some time modelling one of those of late.
