Will definitely be one of the highlights!

Yeah, we have a few in the UK on military registrations flying about. Haven't seen one flying myself since 2024, I think it was. One day, I'll catch one again 😅

Amazing the things you can do by just asking 😅

That must have been very cool! I really must look at becoming a member at some point, I'd love to climb aboard some day

I sure will! It's been a good few years since the last time I saw them, and I've got a new camera since then, so should be fun capturing them

One of my favourites, for sure. I'm looking forward to this weekend at Brands Hatch and seeing T70s racing again, stunning machines!

I'm still picking all the bits of grass out that Sally B chucked at us! 😆

It's amazing what's hiding about in random places around the country

The trains weren't much better. We ended up taking a bus home from Billericay in an effort to avoid the chaos 😅

Definitely a great way to spend an evening!

The photo above is of Grumman FM-2 Wildcat G-KINL (ex-US Navy 86690), which was briefly Britain's second airworthy Wildcat until an accident with ARCo's Managing Director, John Romain, at the controls in 2023. Looks like there has been good progress made on the aircraft since.

I'm lucky enough to have seen one in person 😁

Was surprised to see your face pop up on an IWM thumbnail, good video as always, I hope this leads to future collaboration with you and IWM!

Spent the morning at Lakenheath today, too. Was certainly a very good day for it!

Yeah, it was showing as 1229 of the UAE Air Force on ADSB, just departed Stansted
