This one - Frecce Tricolori?

Dolphin: Were you ever stationed at Upper Heyford in the UK? I lived about four miles from there for some years in the 80s, and we regularly had F1-11s and Starlifters(?) flying over our house. We were on the take-off path but they were no trouble except when they had exercises and took off with afterburners going....  

YES...Frecce Tricolori that was them!!!


Neil, NO...I was never stationed in the UK. However; I did do a temporary (1 week) duty stint in Alconbury as an inspector on the United States Air Forces Europe (USAFE) inspection team. I believe we landed at  Mildenhall AB when we arrived in the UK.

I did get into London by train and saw many many sights! Loved the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels!!!

This was good.

North American P-51 Mustang 1/6

Watch all six. See his other videos. Hundreds.

I know I've mentioned this before.... but my neighbour found himself flying a Mustang over Normandy on D-Day. He said it was a dream to fly - it had the same Merlin engine used in the Spitfire. Saw a TV programme a while back in which an American pilot said the Merlin-engined Mustang was a fine example of a combined effort.
