    If you looked in the hangar from a tall ladder like this you may have felt nothing was going on.

    But if you looked a bit closer you would have seen the space where the Americans had taken the P-47 to bits (they had completed their Sunday chores by 10:00 and were off to find a good honest English fry up for breakfast).

  • March update

    Well you spend a few weeks planning something for the website and then the weather doesn’t play ball. We promised something for today so please watch the video for an update on aeroplanes and news about our brand new Friends of TFC clothing – more on this later.

    We are also glad to say our latest Fighter Log has escaped to the Post Office along with our 2013 calendar – so if you are bored with that existing calendar on your wall now is the ideal time to change!
