to say it was aviation heaven is an understatement
I agree. Very happy memories.
I had and still have enormous respect for those who ran such a wonderful club but the decision to fight Bristow was, unfortunately, an example of hearts ruling heads. To say the chance of winning the case was slim is an understatement.
I'd dropped out before the move (1990?), mainly because I was involved with warbirds at Duxford by then, but I'm pleased they had happy years at Headcorn before the difficulties in recent years and wish them every success at their new home.
You'll probably recognise the names of some of the stalwarts in this image from the programme for the 1986 airshow - one of the last, perhaps the last, the Club held there.
We (Ray Hanna/OFMC) took the Spitfire, Mustang, Kittyhawk (flying) and the Harvard (static).
