Was a great day out - really well done to all the teams running the aircraft. Hope the Nimrod and Victor get back to full serviceability soon!

Special mention of the BBMF Mk XIX Spit, which was wonderfully low, close to the crowd and generally exuberant! :D

The pilot was Parky, the BBMF Ops Officer... I sent him an email expressing our gratitude for a spirited performance. He replied 'no problem'!

I have to say it again, whoever that fellow
is that's spiffing-up the Starfighter is doing
an amazing job!

I'll go look for some vids and pics of what
she looked like when first at Brunty and
you'll see what I mean!

Danf.
I like to do my planning retroactively!
