Bird control.... These necky so n so's are a common feature around the camp and the airfield....they just seem bigger and harder than the garden variety Jake. We watched a posse see off two of the aforementioned red kites. Army Jackdaws. Hard as nails!!!

In other news.... Recently we had the pleasure of hosting the Timeline Events photo shoot both in Hangar three and out on Delta dispersal. It seemed to go well and air traffic were very patient with our delayed action appearances.

Morning....Creative HAAFers.... With the availability of some good 1:48 Beaver and Chipmunk kits about, a reminder that we have albums showing some detailed views of our aircraft for your use. The Beaver one seems to be missing but that will be rectified soon.

Well we went....We saw....We engaged.....and took these on the way back from Cosford. Don't panic, it was all briefed and planned, and the closeup of Chris concentrating hard was using a longer lens....otherwise the crewman taking it would be up for a change of flying suit!!!

Well sometimes things don't go as you expect. Four aircraft down to two and one of them wasn't originally planned.... Improvise, adapt and overcome...so we did, and provided a De Havilland pair for the static display. youtu.be/mtL5JKjbusg

Thruxton retro on Saturday saw consistent engagement from veterans, service members, and the public. There was significant interest in, and surprise at, the fact that the Scout aircraft was flown in. The event continues today, so please come say hello and purchase merchandise.

Ello HAAFers. The Auster 9 was wheeled out for a ground run and it didn't. The words "Timing" were muttered and she came back in again. Work was done by our "Magneto experts" (Blackies) so we will see. Well done REEMs. Be....Better timed.

In other news. Looks like 820's oil leak wasn't as catastrophic as first thought and after a good thrashing she came back nice and dry...comparatively. Ts & Ps were about as good as they get so....Thanks to Dave Currie and the REME posse for their efforts. Sorry about the racket

A very special arrival for tomorrow’s Wallop Wheels & Wings - a Bell 47 H-1 which is over 70 years old and first flew in 1955. Only 33 were ever built and only 8 are still flying (with all the rest in North America). Don’t miss it! 🚁 Book now 👉 bit.ly/WWW2025

What a great reception we had at the ArmyFlyingMuseum premier event Wallop Wheels and Wings with lots of interest in our aircraft. The key word of the day was HOT! with plenty of people taking shelter under the wings. See you all again next year.
