Aircraft and Airshows - The Yorkshire Airshow - Elvington 2005 By Tony
	This is my sixth visit to this airshow and one I don't like to miss. The airfield creates an atmosphere that transports you back to the WWII days when it was a base for the heavy bombers. The resident squadron 1942 till May 1944 was 77 Squadron RAF, flying the twin-engine Whitley bomber, soon to be replaced by Handley Page Halifax with four Read more...

Aircraft and Airshows - The Yorkshire Airshow - Elvington 2004 By Rachael

Spitfire? Read more...

Aircraft and Airshows - The Shuttleworth Collection - Military Pageant Air Display - 1st August 2004 By Tony
	I can only say that this was without doubt one of the most enjoyable events I have visited over the years. Not so much a flying display as a nostalgic happening. The mood was set as I arrived to hear 17 members of the James Goff Big Band playing a selection of tunes from the 1930's Read more...

Aircraft and Airshows - Waddington International Airshow - June 26th and 27th 2004 By Tony
	I travelled to the Airshow with trepidation, as the weather forecast was for cloud and rain and the prospect of no flying loomed large.

Aircraft and Airshows - Philately - Concorde Stamps By Tony

I'm a philatelist. In these modern times, that's like being a ballroom dancer on a skateboard ramp, a bit embarrassing. Over the years I've been a collector of aircraft stamps and have now around 4,000 stamps dating from 1922 to the present day. I've selected some of the stamps featuring Concorde to show the wide range of countries who felt the need to show this fantastic aircraft. Read more...

Aircraft and Airshows - Concorde by Tony

On Friday 24th October 2003 the last fight of Concorde by British Airways as a fare paying passenger aircraft took place.

Aircraft and Airshows - The Yorkshire Airshow - Elvington 2003 By Tony

What a pleasure to be here for 2 days (24th - 25th August)! We were fully entertained with a diverse mix of aircraft. Both days of the flying program opened with the superb Red Arrows. Unfortunately, on the first day they had to abort their display for safety reasons when three light aircraft strayed in to the six mile display zone. Without doubt there must be an investigation into this misdemeanour and culprits brought to book. Read more...
