Re: Propeller ID please?
Well I've ruled out Chipmunk and Bulldogs after looking at photos, but the black & white markings are familiar on the older RAF trainers like that. But I'm stumped by the tip shape too.... is there anything marked at the base of the blade where it would meet the hub? Props should have part numbe...

Re: RAF100
I have to agree with the inaccuracies on this interactive map, and more worrying - there is no obvious contact method to point out errors found either - which means the valuabe resource nature of this interactive map goes un-checked.

Peter, I'm loving the updates on what is going to be a special RAF100 show.
That Wessex was amazing to see last year - now she's looking even better!
And Black Mike is looking good - one of my ex-RAF colleagues is part of that team and they've done an amazing job!!

Re: The White Helmets in their final season
Great set of photos! Saw them perform at the recent Cawdor Barracks Open Day (former RAF Brawdy) in July. Sad to hear then that they were disbanding - personally I felt that the skills needed were still valid no matter what the role of the current Armed Forces.. things like discipline / teamwork etc...

That first shot.... awesome Peter!

That was some "little event in Shropshire" I have to say. You want to have a word with the organising team and thank them for getting that Atlas and staging the Vietnam set-piece
Oh wait......

From the website, flying display finished approx 17:30, but the showgroudn remains open until 19:00. However, as you mentioned arranging transport (a lift I assume), best have a read on the travel section about that, as the traffic is flowing one-way only and that makes it difficult to get near inbo...
