Re: Beagle Pup & Bulldog Turweston
I would have loved to have been there, I have a very large soft spot for the Beagle Pup.
Great aircraft, great shots and great weather.

Re: Beagle Pup & Bulldog Turweston
Lovely Pup/Bulldog shots. I too have a soft spot for them, not least because my first flight in a light a/c was in a Pup. We were having a look around Popham on Saturday evening after the Gazelle fly-in at Middle Wallop while a couple of Pups that had been at Turweston arrived home. I had a chat with one of the pilots, and like everybody else who has flown one he said how delightful they are to fly.
Re: Beagle Pup & Bulldog Turweston
Thanks for the comments guys.
It was this or Middle Wallop. Shame both on same day. I look forward to seeing some pictures of the Gazelles.
Thanks,
Pete.

Re: Beagle Pup & Bulldog Turweston
Many many years ago, 1982, at Cranfield I managed to bag a flight in G-AXIA
Lovely little beastie, along with an old Auster Beagle Terrier whose reg I cannot remember but was also based at Cranfield at the time
Was at the PFA rally, but back then I also used to go over to Cranfield every Saturday and spend the day there with Rogers
