very nice memories Neil thanks for sharing them. That must have been an exciting time to work in our aviation industry.
I visited the Bristol museum in November 2017 and it's an excellent collection and the Concorde display is very well put together

nice ones Wallie, that Tarom retro looks nice - schemes were far better in the '60s!

good to hear you're getting back to normality in Belgium
stay safe

I don't think it is Neil, isn't there a restriction that keeps people within 5 miles of home?

nice pictures but a sad sight Neil, it's looking pretty packed at present

thanks for taking the time to stitch some together, it gives a far better impression of the place
Andy

very nice Nick, some look familiar - were you standing near to me?
what a good day that was!

Andy, we could each chip-in a few quid and get Dan a red BIC biro, a 6" ruler and the 2020 edition of CAM - what do you reckon?

those were the days! CAM was the annual plane spotter's bible in the 60s and 70s. I don't think they even did military ones until much later did they?

thanks Dan, glad i went this morning - it was hissing down here in Rayne about the time it departed and yes a mod for the nose gear on the cargo versions. 'Civvies are generally not my thing ' - not yet but you wait, we'll soon have you chasing and drooling over them if you loiter on here long! :lol...

a nice start to the month this morning as another Il.76 arrived for a cargo mission, RA-76511 this time. We seem to be spoilt in the last 10 days with RA-76951 also visiting 3 times for cargo runs to China, long may they continue. There was also a Turkish Cargo A.330 and Cargolux B.747-8F arrived al...

superb photos, subject and weather Claudio - thanks for posting them

Ciao

the show on the 18th will be different, a drive in show - a bit like a 3D movie but without the popping of popcorn! A fairly conservative line up (all their own aircraft I think) but I suppose they are being cautious first time out this year. An evening Shuttleworth show on a fine summer evening (fi...

very good - it's interesting to see how it's preserved there. I've only ever seen exterior photos previously so good to see the inside. I was in NYC in Sept 2014 and saw it and the Intrepid from our tour bus and it looked quite an impressive collection.

thanks for posting it
