Where's the best place to view the aircraft at Dunsfold please? Last time I went there I was very kindly allowed in by the Airport manager but I don't want to trouble him further. I'd sure like to see the Dakota, DC6 and any other oldies. Thanks...

Dunsfold thanks
Hi all
Many thanks to Pressure Carb and No Comment, I actually needed the A340
but Im happy to say it was the last of the Virgin fleet I needed! Also for the DC-6 number, its here again but is parked as usual in just the wrong place for me to get the number!
Happy to hear the DC display at Biggin was a cracker and yes its lovely to see the old girl performing so well!
G-ELVE was out on the taxi ways today, red high wing monoplane about 50s vintage (sorry) and there were 2 AAC Lynx having some fun out there today but busy in the office, anyone got the numbers?? Also a new one in the main hangar (for me anyway) is G-BSNE, very nice little prop with "Bees knees" art on the tail!!!
Cheers, Dylan

Do you chaps mean G-ELVE, or G-EVLE? If the latter, here's a snap:

As HD says, I think you'll find it's G-EVLE (it's a Rearwin 8125, or Cloudster as some call it) . It belongs to one of the commentators for the forthcoming Wings and Wheels event on 27 August.
Shameless advertising......from the voice of 119.1 on that day!

Hi, any idea on what time G-SIXC is coming in here? No rumours on the field that I have heard of so far today! If anyone can let me know I would be grateful as I would like a landing photo!!

The 747 has twin pod engines "a'la B-52" on the inboard pylons and fuel tanks on the outer, these are all fibre glass and have been fitted for "Casino Royale".

The second DC-6 never turned up as far as I know!

RAF Chinook ZA704 has just carried out 3 circuits, practise approaches and grass landings!
Loads of junk flying around and not done any favours for my hay fever!
Nice to see though!!

Dunsfold
Dylan35, I came down to Dunsfold yesterday to get a photo of the DC3 got turned away by a real miserable security guy. Is there anywhere that you can get a photo? I drove all round the airfield couldn't see a thing.

Hi PF
At the moment you have virtually no chance of getting on the airfield. Filming for casino Royale is due to continue for another 3 weeks (maybe 4) so until that is done no body can get on without a pass or having a legitimate business reason.
My best suggestion is to either wait until the film crews have left or I can e-mail you some photos?
By the way, Wings and Wheels is on 27th August, I dont think the Dak is going anywhere for a while!
