BBMF - TVM!!

Thanks for the flypast over BEagle Towers at 12:53 today, chaps - lovely sound!

Presumably on the way to RIAT Fairford - have a good weekend!

Overflew the Cotswold’s finest manufacturer of yellow and black racing cars at a similar time BEagle; You must be close! A life affirming experience as always, thanks BBMF.

12:53 is during his Lunchtime Gin : he would have been wheeled out onto the terrace whilst Nurse cut up his fishcakes for him.......

Now look, you bug.gers....

Busily working on fighting off yet another piece of €urobollox, courtesy of EASA. Then came the BBMF - I felt like e-mailing the Agency to remind them who'd won the last session of uninvited European tourism in the early 1940s....

wonderboysteve, BEagle Towers is 10.58 miles from that place which builds those cars.

BBMF was great, but FFS, could the rest of the Fairford arrivals do so MUCH lower next time? The Sound of Freedom is great - it's just that we'd like to hear it!

If the photography deities have been kind to me, then yes, of course I will share.

Strangely, I particularly like TE311 in its primered state!

Hopefully you don't find them to be too big.
