Ahh Blackbush, spent many an hour riding past on my motorbike when stationed at Odiham and stopping to gaze at all the parked up B-25 that used to live there. Nice shots, well done

Hi Tony,

Lovely set. The Beech is now based just a few miles down the road from home - takes me 8 minutes to get there. Great bunch of guys.

Cheers,
Neil

Followed by doing a ton down the A30 no doubt!

Nice shots, well done

Thanks Tony.

Thanks Neil. I don't think I've seen one in flight before Sunday.

Very nice shots Chris.

I have flown in an AN-2 and the Gazelle when I worked for Westlands. I was privileged to take the controls of the Gazelle during a training flight to Battersea Heliport. Good memories!

Lovely set Chris; very enjoyable. The Catalina flew over us on Sunday evening on its way home; beautiful bird...

Flown in an AN2 too, did some air to air out of one, I will post a couple if I can find them, also done the Heli lanes both day and night in Puma's Wessex and a Chinook :) Great day out.
