Never seen this before and a very, very, rare event. Probably the entire Tanker Fleet at Mildenhall doing an ‘Elephant Walk’. What a shame about the weather!

U-2 landing at Mildenhall. Think it may have an engine problem which is why it’s diverted here.

Good morning. Suppose I’d better get on and do something. Here’s probably the only airworthy folding wing Spitfire in the World?

At the Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre, RAF St Mawgan, which is unfortunately closed today. Most of the Aircraft here will probably end up scrapped as the Museum has to be off site by March next year.

Whilst I enjoyed my visit to the Antiques Fair today, I managed to conserve funds and just bought this Victory Medal for £5.
2029 Pte. J. Murphy R.War.R. That’s a low number, so could be an interesting research?

Todays best Boot Fair find. A collection of Ships Photos and Post Cards. I haven’t counted or sorted them yet, but getting on towards 200 l think. Many are in pristine condition as each one was stored in an envelope

I guess it’s appropriate to post a Spitfire video. I never did find out if some of it was used on ITV Meridian News!

The highlight of my visits to Mildenhall this year was seeing a rare three ship Osprey take off which I'll share again as it was so good!

Wasn’t sure that I was going to get to video a Spitfire in flight display this year, but this morning I got Shuttleworth’s Spitfire practising for its one tomorrow.

Three old photos of mine of Concorde. When on Holiday in North Cornwall, I used to hear it’s Sonic Bang (every day around 5pm I think) when approaching the Cornish Coast.

Last Airworthy Shorts Sunderland (civilianised). Was lucky enough to see this just before it departed to the USA to join the Kermit Weeks Aircraft Collection. Many years ago now.

We have BIG JET TV at Mildenhall today. Must admit I’d never heard of him before until a couple of weeks ago. Perhaps I should convert my Motorhome into a viewing platform like that?

In case you didn’t know, in 1936 the Spitfire flew for the first time on this day. Nice to know that so many are still flying!

@I_W_M
read this, and come to some arrangement to allow RG to continue. Please RT to show your support.
Sorry to have to report that I will not be posting IWM photos and videos anymore. Henry Ball from IMW complained to Twitter and Twitter removed the content and blocked me. To avoid this in the future, I will refrain from further posting of any IWM content.

Why I nearly always look in the back of old Picture Frames. This Victorian Photo was being used as a backing board for a 1950s photo. Protected from Sun light it is in almost perfect condition. One day I’ll get around to framing it!

Here’s Grandad as a Sub Lieutenant. When he was 25, his hair turned completely white. I wonder if his involvement in the SMS Königsberg action had anything to do with it? This photo was taken at the end of the War, as he’s wearing his Medals (which I now have).

A woman lost a Gold Sovereign Ring in the Sea today. She offered £200 to anyone who could find it. Amazingly someone found it. They refused to take the reward so the Woman who lost the Ring bought all the kids who had help search an Ice Cream. How nice is that?
