Thanks, Jim.
We have a "summer camp" under way, but our aircraft are still unavailable to us
while they fix various snags with the engine installation in the Grob. As a
result our training has to take other forms, and a visit to the Imperial War
Museum at Duxford, only about 40 minutes from our airfield, is normally high on
the agenda — especially as military groups can arrange free entry.
I think that you'd enjoy the various exhibitions at Duxford. In one hangar
there are aircraft from Typhoon to Lysander, via Concorde and Comet 4 (and
including a Tornado GR1 that I flew on Green Flag in 1987); in 2 hangars there
are historic aircraft being restored or serviced (this hangar, for instance);
and at the end, the largest exhibition (of course) is the American one, with
F15E cockpit, F111, several WWII aircraft, U-2, B-52 and SR-71.
Meanwhile, there are normally historic aircraft being prepared for flight, on
engine runs or even flying :-)
