Just got home to Bicester from a couple of days in Sunny Eastbourne, was able to get right up to the top of Eastbourne pier (top of the pointy sticking up bit at the end) even made & wore a cardboard "Pprune " badge, not a whisper or contact from anyone ??? but met up with a chap (Hugh Pryor) who flew Buffalos & Porters in Oman, so from about 14.00 to gone 17.00 we chatted etc up at the top with panoramic views waiting for the flypast, had contact with friend at Duxford who kept us informed, as to delays which we relayed to others up there with us, best bit was the 2 x P51's overhead pier, the Daks quite some distance away round back of the town on way to o/head Beachy Head, but at least we where there and saw the aircraft and were part of it, something to tell the Grandkids about !. was worth it though.,
