Just FYI, the DC-6 was intent on giving Blackbushe some sound effects last Friday, but Farnborough wanted him in pronto and the planned look at Blackbushe was aborted. Met with the pilot today, leaving Farnborough Monday afternoon sometime after 13.00. That's the current plan, cannot give anymore than that as nothing is decided yet re an ETD Farnborough. T'was he flew G-APSA into Blackbushe back in 2008, and he still says that was the flight of flights. Taking an old Blackbushe airliner back home to Blackbushe AND collecting non other than the founder of Eagle Airways, dear Harold Bamberg before departing to Farnborough. A memorable and rare occasion! JF confirmed that Blackbushe looked good as they looked down from the DC-6 prior to arrival Farnborough, so maybe Monday, but very much provisional..

DC-6. While I have done as much as possible to steer the DC-6 into the Blackbushe circuit today, 23/07/18, please don't get your hopes up too high - it depends on numerous factors, and comes with no guarantee. All I can say is that the Commander is minded to show his aeroplane the old airfield where DC-6's once sang their own special song, and subject to times, ATC, and approval from Blackbushe ATC we might be lucky. Time wise, anytime after 13.00, but hanging around in temperatures in excess of 30C may not be the best of fun...
Looks like being even hotter today, those nice clouds have gone away.......
