Conc,
OK, it's a fair cop, I was getting emotional, OW is not the ancestral home of the Speed Six. Woodley, however, is not now available as an airfield, but OW is...... As well as in many other ways, OW is one of, if not the, best collection of 30's aircraft going. People come to the displays to see what we have, and the Speed Six would be a good attraction, as it always was.
When she was there, we really enjoyed having the Speed Six at OW, and I have to say, I really enjoyed displaying her. SHe's much like the Spitfire in that her lines and speed diplay the aircraft for you. It would be great to have her back in any form - as a guest or a visitor.
We didn't give Roger a lower DA on the day as it was the only time we could have done it and it's against ours (and the CAA's) safety policy to test for DA deviations at a display. Roger, I apologise for not having time to talk with you on the day. Please get in touch and we will sort your DA variation soonest.
