The Hawk and Gladiator are now at La Ferte – Alais after departing Duxford this morning.
We ran the moving picture cameras while the aeroplanes ventured into the sunlight on Sunday and caught a few engine runs (we have cheated and included the Kestrel engine in the Nimrod from earlier in the week as well as), Spitfire and Wildcat but we didn’t think that would be a problem.
Today was partly spent playing Hangar Drafts where Martin decides we need the aircraft at the back of the hangar moved to the front. In over 20 years of moving aircraft at TFC no one has yet devised a simple solution. Anyway having moved some of the aircraft outside we thought it might be a good idea to fly a couple of them. By coincidence Al Wade was wandering around so we strapped him in the Spitfire Mk Vb and Wildcat and told him he couldn’t go home until he had flown them both.
EP120 out and about:
