I saw (felt) a Vulcan fly overhead whilst there, and it set off every single car alarm in the carpark. Quite literally hundreds - and I do mean quite literally. <br /><br />Awesome. Again, in the literal sense.<br /><br />I saw the Battle of Britain Memorial flight that day too - I can take or leave Spitfires, but Hurricans and Lancasters - I have to say - do get me a little moist.Admiral Draxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476823273954165890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010917663653102321.post-32151050115107144772012-11-08T08:01:52.228+00:002012-11-08T08:01:52.228+00:00There was a bus for limited mobility people, but I...There was a bus for limited mobility people, but I didn't notice a 'general use' bus.<br /><br />What I really loved was actually feeling excited about something, like a small kid at Christmas. My job gives me good stress, bad stress and the very occasional soupsans of satisfaction; so this was a special day. I still remember my dad taking me to Hendon 37 years ago - my sister and I ran and ran and ran around the house when we got back, until I missed a doorway and ran into the wall at full chat (as one does at that age). <br /><br />It may sound a bit weird, but it is nice to let one's inner child out - we let a bit of it out in this hobby. But the whole five year old Zzzzzz came out at Duxford. How many 'planes can you name without looking at the labels ? Steve and I missed about four in the entire day ! I award myself a new car ! Hurrah !<br /><br />Oh well, back to work.

Going as a young child (well, a youngER child) I seem to remember being equally fascinated by that as the Land Warfare Hall. Been a while since I've been but I'll have to pop over again I think. Some good photos there.Colonel Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02632701529009379584noreply@blogger.com
