Blimey, I don't remember the Typhoon and Spitfire =)) =))
Even though I have photos of it =)) =))

Here's my vid of Waddington 2008, ^ that's the better version of the one on Youtube v as YT wouldn't accept it because of the music, so I had to use the shorter slightly different version.

Must be something about Helen's being referred to as Dory's though. We're in a league of speshalness. So who's gonna lick the window and who's getting the crayons to eat? :D :o)

It's definately a "Helen thing".

I poked at something on a Hawker Hunter and this entire panel fell off :-o Not very well built I tell ya!!

Then at Shoreham I wanted a Harrier momento so I pulled at one of the tags (yes, I am totally aircraft illiterate) and this tag pulled the entire cover off the big air ducts at the side :ymblushing:

The next day I was watching the Harrier display, was sat on the grass behind the fence and it did it's "power up" on the taxi strip instead of the runway and it blew the metal railings over which hit me on the head and knocked me out :ymblushing:

Then at Eastbourne I walked into the wing of the Typhoon and rendered myself unconscious :ymblushing:

I'm good fun at airshows :D
