Ju52 Iron Annie.....
landed at Barton in the 1980's-ish for one of the annual airshows. Out stepped Jeff Hawkes. He'd pulled off a perfick landing on less than 600m in light winds and hi temps.
Later for the press he dog fought with Peter Thorne in Spencer Flacks Red Spit. The Ju52 had a rear turret gun and gas so one could hear the "pop" as it fired. Pete had strobes in the Spits gun positions so head on one had a sense of its fire power.
The Ju nearly won! But in true tradition Jeff head smoke on from one engine and literally disappeared behind the trees.
It was a better show than on the public day.
Was'nt the Aztec he was flying at the end one previously owned by David Essex or did I dream that?
