Wonder if Guy Black has decided to just concentrate on the restoration side of the business. I hadn't realised, but the HAC Spitfire BM597 had been sold to a new owner last year.

The same owner also has the silver MkXIV RN201 registered to them according to G-INFO

This weeks update is a small one, with a few photos from quick visits to Mildenhall and Lakenheath last September

Now we finally seem to be getting over some of the technical issues that have plagued us recently, aviationanoraks.co.uk is now back up as our regular feature platform. The .com version of the website will hopefully become our archive, but this is going to take some time to rebuild. Anyway, this wee...

Always a pleasure to see Mark display over the years, a polished routine that showed the Strikemaster off beautifully. We never met Mark, but a personal memory that always made us smile was joking he was stalking us when we were on holiday in the South West as we saw the Strikemaster three days runn...

The Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden is our subject matter this week, so no need for too many words as everyone here knows the collection very well.

Photos this week on the website come from our visit to Rougham Control Tower Museum in Suffolk. A small museum based around the former airfields tower, it is full of artefacts, history, and personal stories from those who served at the station during World War II. For anyone with an interest in USAA...

One of our occasional non-aviation weeks at aviationanoraks.com now, with photos from the Desert Rats memorial and history trail in Thetford Forest, Norfolk. The Cromwell tank that makes up part of the memorial sits at the entrance to what was the forests camp, the only location in England where the...

This week’s set of photos are from a day at the Lakenheath fence during Cobra Warrior 23-3. Plenty of action with the home team, Norwegian Air Force, the Top Aces Alpha Jets, and finally got to see a Skyhawk in the air too! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53346148806_ab7a136f5b_h.jpg IMG_5395 by...

Still having the odd issue with the website, but we have now uploaded a set of photos from the RAF Marham Heritage Centre, located in the former chapel. Packed full of artefacts, memorabilia, stories and displays, to stand a chance of almost taking everything in requires more than a couple of hours!...

After much scratching of heads, gnashing of teeth and kicking of computers, aviationanoraks.co.uk has become aviationanoraks.com Too long a story to go into involving new servers, hosts and so-called customer service, but thankfully we are now partially back to normal with other bits being reintrodu...

If this is what regional news site the Yorkshire Post is already reporting, it’s “big” news.
Good luck to them.

Thanks to a server migration that didn’t go as planned, aviationanoraks.co.uk is not looking in the best of health. We have managed to set up a temporary site to allow us to still upload photos while work is ongoing to try and resolve the issues. Our next set from Duxford is from the misty and atmos...

Y'know, you should really stop sitting on the fence. Tell people what's on your mind sometimes 🤪. Whilst I don't want to buy the Teddy bear or the mug, I don't think it's too much bother to click through, what is it, 3 times or something? As for the price, we'll it's been discussed on here over and...

We attended the Battle of Britain airshow at Duxford in September for the first time in a number of year, and the first set of photos, from the obligatory pre-flying wander around the hangars and outdoor displays, are now live at www.aviationanoraks.co.uk https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53455656...

Our last set of photos from Solway Aviation Museum have now been added to aviationanoraks.co.uk and feature one of their more recent acquisitions, in the shape of Fairey Gannet ECM6 ZA459. Previously unloved and almost derelict at White Waltham, Solway has done a fantastic job of preserving the airc...
