Today's header is a rarity. There must be hundreds of pics of the Comet on the ground but not so many full flapped and on the verge of touchdown. I assume it's DA's RR at the rear? The last minutes of life before another Comet fell to Earth for the last time..Indeed, t'is DA in one of his various Rollers. Today it's hard to believe all the Comet variants once operated from Blackbushe either on crew training, commercial requirements, or military flights..

The same from me Peter.
I was at the Pathfinder for lunch yesterday. It was heaving. I had the all-day brekkie that's one down from the "Don", and that had me beat.
Also noted the Airport Manager engaged in some outdoor construction activities!

Aww thanks guys, thanks for the kind thoughts, very much appreciated.
Indeed, very high levels engaged in "Building Blackbushe Better" to hijack a currently newsworthy slogan...
Do the "Don", you know you can....

Cartridge starters! Takes me back to RAF Swinderby in the '80s. Marching off leading my flight(and others, I was a popular stand in) on their pass out parade and as we marched off the EFTS Chippies, which were grounded whilst the parade was on, bursting into life after a succesion of "shots".

Morning Peter/All,
With regards to this morning's POTD,I well remember the authorities in New York sampling the noise levels of Concorde,boy were they dismayed when the figures came back and Concorde was quieter than all of those lovely B707's,B727's & DC8's.
