Janie at Headcorn, July 4 2012

What with all the RIATing, I've not had a chance to post these. I dropped into Headcorn last Weds. Richard FOTO4 was there, and said to me over the fence "Are you here for the Mustang?" I'd not heard bout it, but by chance Rob Davies was shortly to be bringing Janie in, and dropping off a passenger. Great piece of luck. Here are some of the landing, the passenger, who gave the impression of having had the time of her life, and departure.

Nice catch Anthony.It's always great to see a Mustang at Headcorn,especially as we no longer have the pleasure of seeing Rob Davies with "the Doll" any more.

Hmmmm, don't agree - I'd say its a very close second to Marinell! Always nice to see the Hardwick aircraft out and about though, great shots.
