Re: Plane Spotters Corner
RIP Trevor Roche who died today flying a vintage DH53 at Shuttleworth which is only about 10 miles north of me.. The crash subsequently forced the cancellation of the air display due today.

Re: Plane Spotters Corner
at the armed forces weekend at Wollaton Hall Nottingham I saw the Dakota (C47-Skytrain) doing a fly past but unfortunately I didnt have my camera at hand as I had to get some food for the Mrs and myself and was stuck in the queue for too long  but what a beautiful plane that was

Very sad for everyone close to them, friends and family. I'll be saying a prayer for them all.
