Interestingly enough, the Sopwith Triplane in the first photo is a reproduction but apparently is so 'original' that Tommy Sopwith who saw it completed before he passed away said that as far as he was concerned that the production run of the Triplane had been extended by 1. High praise indeed!

Painless wins! Here's a little prize for you... Yes, for the first time ever I'm at the Shuttleworth Collection season opening air show. There's a Bristol Fighter in the overhead right now and I'm watching a Hawker Demon starting up. Lovely! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

After receiving a multitude of written complaints, the management team of the Lympne airfield have decided to move both the Windsock and the Radar mast so they will not be in the way of lousy pil2ots who appear to be incapable of stearing around them. Please do Donate, though moving the windsock is not expensive (though we had to wait for windspeeds to go down to below 1m/s - that took a big toll on the airfields supplies of sandwiches and tea), mainly, moving the Radar mast did cost a lot, as afterwards, it had to be calibrated again, it being further away from the North pole. (Or was it the windsock's pole?) Oh well...
