BBMF (Warbird fix for Ozzy!)

Postby HawkerTempest5 » Sat Oct 11, 2003 6:59 am

Well after reading that Ozzy needed a "Warbird fix" I thought I'd try and help out. It's difficult to find any shots on my HD that I've not posted before so a couple of repeats here.
Photos of aircraft belonging to the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. All taken by me ;D  
Image
BBMF's Hurricane IIc LF363 shortly after its full rebuild. I took this shot (and the next one) by ducking outside the BBMF hanger during a tour back in 1997.

Spitfire MkIIa P7350, worlds oldest airworthy Spitfire.

Douglas DC3 (C-47) Dakota ZA947 at Duxford in 2002.
Image
Squadron Leader Paul Day (OBE AFC) OC BBMF getting Spitfire LF MkIXe MK356 ready for a flypast outside the BBMF hanger at Coningsby.
Image
Not really a BBMF aircraft this but it's an ex-BBMF plane. Spitfire PR MkXIX PS853 was sold off to pay for the rebuild of Hurricane LF363. This aircraft has been modified to take a Griffon engine from an Avro Shakleton.

Posing as a 152 Squadron (SEAC) MkXIV, BBMF's PR MkXIX PS915 at Flying Legends 2000.

Sorry for the poor quality of a couple of these but with my scanner bust I had to use old scanned versions of a couple of these from my HD rather than the good quality original photos.

Nice to see Paul Day again-I knew him as a Flying Officer on 229 OCU- Chivenor in the early '70's(Hunter F 6).
He arrived back on the flight line after a friendly dogfight with a Capt McFarlane(U.S Xchange),stood up in his cockpit and yelled 'Hey Mac-that may be good enough over Viet Nam but it sure dont impress me over
Hartland Point!'
Great character-down to earth and epitomised the B of B spirit.
(Wonder what happened to his Triumph Herald  ???)
