Please not another year like that!
Last year was such a nasty year, so many died at airshows.

Very sad indeed. Sadly the Humming Bird has a history of fairly serious incidents, although none for many decades.

Sadly a very talented aviator has been lost - he was briefly chief pilot of the collection a couple of years ago. RIP

I heard about this this morning. Terrible :'(
It was a trip with my dad to Old Warden that originally ignited my interest in aviation!

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

A picture from happier times (seated in the cockpit of the late-production Sopwith Triplane) and bio from a friend of mine...
