For many years, I have been volunteering at the Great Vintage Flying Weekend. It’s a bit of a long haul from New England, but well worth it. I meet many old friends, make new ones, and talk….and talk…(as some would say) on the public address system. I get to play a bit, too, as you can see.
Oh, and for those who were wondering……’There I was, upside down, in cloud…etc.’ is the traditional parody of a ‘line-shoot’, which could sometimes be heard in various service Messes around the UK (and beyond) back in the golden age of flying.
Heya Ross,
I really enjoy all the beautiful pictures you have here. Just gorgeous. If I’m ever in your neck of the woods I will have to get all touristy and see some of these amazing sights! Thanks for all the time and effort that went into this. I appreciate it.
