Enjoyed yesterday despite the weather. I've been going for many years as I am local and I have never seen the Gladiator displayed as well as that before. One question though, the Mew Gull. Last Sunday I was at the railway station in Biggleswade and I saw the Mew Gull in the distance. I then didn't h...

Never mind. Was nice to see and hear across the fields on a warm Summer evening. Not a regular visitor. Looking forward to Sunday's show.

Chinook currently at Shuttleworth. Practice display.

Pm sent to darkman

Just saw what was possibly P-51 flying in formation with a jet possibly Provost. Hope they are practicing for a UK show - what a great sound. Can anyone confirm the types?

Definitely BBMF. I got a photo or two and it was tracking on FR24. I suspect a familiarisation flight for the flypast on Saturday, but odd that it didn't seem to buzz the airfield iteslf.

A little intrigued as to why the BBMF Hurricane was buzzing around the fields behind my house tonight. I though practice display for Shuttleworth, but the circuits were over the fields just north. Never the less after the Airlander last night it was good to have something of interest up and about.

Thanks and yes, I went to see the seals and got the Herc dropping flares all morning. This was the last pass to dump the rest.

I wanted to share my highlights from 2016 - Mostly Old Warden and RIAT, but a couple of wildcards too. https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2009/31990961874_191b7d24d5_b.jpg 20160508-_5084380 by Benjamin Pike , on Flickr https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2817/32710206931_eb7326a1fa_b.jpg 20160508-_5084721 by B...

Last year's show was a highlight no doubt - especially pleasing as I only live a mile or so away. A Sea Fury would be great, but fingers crossed for the weather. There's a saying in Biggleswade that if you need a long term forecast on when it is going to rain months ahead look at the Shuttleworth Ai...

Spotted this on test at Cranfield. The bulge appears to be a new addition, anyone know what it is?
Figured out how to insert the picture now.

PS Hope this works, I don't usually post pictures.

As a local (Walking Distance) to OW, I have seen a lot of displays over the years and today's was up there with the best. Wildcat, Corsair and Bearcat tore up the place - although could have done without the whoops from the people behind me, yes they did get fairly low, but no need to whoop. Vixen s...

Entered, but got an email bounce message from danb in return. Have I entered?

Having seen the three ship display at Culdrose on Thursday and having watched the Hunter display both there and today at my local (Shuttleworth) I feel a great sense of sadness of this tragic incident. I have a great admiration for the dedication and skills involved in keeping classic aircraft alive...

Crowd numbers pretty good. Parking next to the playpark was full. My highlights - Late mark 109. Worth entrance fee on its own, Nimrod last pass, Jumpin Jaques and the Comet. Well worth the last minute decision to go. I also sense a bit more determination to make things happen this year, so while th...

See my post from yesterday, just down the A1 in Biggleswade there have been Chinooks, Lynx's and Merlins much of this week at low level. Some carrying underslung loads, heading WNW and returning empty and lower SSE ish.

Anyone know what the almost constant flow of choppers over mid beds is all about? Jeeps etc being carried East and returning empty to the West.

Thats the one, thanks.

Just interested which late model spit was over Cambridge today at 15:00. Too distant for a good shot, but has letter C on the starboard side. Thought it was either BBMF PR19 or Hangar 11, but what I can see from other shots of these, it must be another - maybe from Duxford.

Thanks.

Local to Shuttleworth, but first time picture poster. Hope this works ok. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a555/benpk1/20140629-P6296242_zps1dc3caed.jpg http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a555/benpk1/20140629-P6296367_zpsac86b9fd.jpg http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a555/benpk1/20140629-P6296...

I meant turboprop by the way. Fixed wing.

Anyone know what just went over my house 200 feet max in the dark? Sounded like a propshaft probably twin engine.

Thanks, based in a now sunny Biggleswade, so will take a trip up there in after a quick snack.

Morning, still thinking of coming along later, anyone know what time the Vulcan is due?
