The Red Arrows were amazing, they seemed to be inch perfect on all the manoeuvres, think they must of been taking tips from the Wagon Squadron

Scott.T 31-08-2009 09:38 AM

Looks like a good day, loving the Avro Vulcan banner. I bet that went down well.....

SUBARMAN 31-08-2009 03:46 PM

Indeed it (they) did Scott!

All produced, in duplicate, by our Senior Formation Manoeuvre Technician "Chocks" Chockington, who slaved away fine-tuning and fiddling like a fine-tuner and fiddler would.

He has brought new meaning to the word "rumbold" by his efforts!

He is likely to receive a promotion for all his hard work and devotion to duty!

Squadron-Leader 31-08-2009 09:12 PM

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.... ABSOLUTLEY... LADIES AND GENTLEMEN …. THIS COMMENTATOR NEEDS A CUP OF TEA!…. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…. ABSOLUTLEY"

A top day with a cracking car and aircraft display. The ‘Silver Arrows’ AMG Merc’s were fantastic along with the Typhoon, Vulcan and 'Red Arrows', which were awesome. The Wgn Sqn crew were not bad either ;)

Shame we all shivered for most of the day... and Steve ...how did you get through the day with just your SES polo and shorts on?

Arrived at 07:50 and departed 08:10... 12 hours of fun and laughter. Roll on JapBash!

SUBARMAN 01-09-2009 07:45 AM

The Promotions Committee have sat in emergency session!

Here is one of the cttee members leaving the meeting.

We hope to have a presentation at Japbash for SUPREME Formation Manoeuvre Technician "Chocks" Chockington!

HURRAH! Here he is in action.

Mate, I was still cold when I got home at 8.30. That was with having the heated seat on full blast and the heater set to "tropical".

worzel 01-09-2009 10:24 AM

And......... you are all too kind.

Just doing my bit what what what.

No worries, the amount you took i'd expect it to take you all week sorting them :)

SUBARMAN 01-09-2009 12:00 PM

Who is this Worzel character?
 
We want to hear from Chocks himself, not his lacky !!!

Crowman 01-09-2009 12:43 PM

I did hear a rumour from Sharp Shot that Chocks is in bed with a lem sip after freezing his goolies off whilst on duty over the weekend.
Worzel is stnding in for him.

NorthDownsScooby 02-09-2009 08:24 PM

Good to bump into you guys & girls and your fine collection of "estates" at Dunsfold. :wink:

Rich

AndyWRX 02-09-2009 08:26 PM

some wicked pics there guys

Scruff 02-09-2009 11:58 PM

I don't know how but i managed to miss you lot! I couldn't get parked up with the TVR lot as they didn't have enough room to fit me on the end which meant i had to park in the field where an unfriendly ditch decided to remove my front splitter for me. Grrrrrr..... Great day though! Shame about the weather.

worzel 03-09-2009 08:53 AM

Done a dozen pics quickly chaps, will do some more later with some luck.

Right then, I'll start with one I am really chuffed with, just because it was difficult to get. The DB9 was flat out and the Tiger Moth had just lifted off. the speed difference was about 80mph and got them both in the shot and pretty clear.

http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w...andBiPlane.jpg

Then we have some various pics. Starting with the Wagon Squadron and one of the Vulcan.

Well done Steve
 
Fine pics there old chap. So which was stationary? The DB9 or the SE5?

SUBARMAN 03-09-2009 09:52 AM

Good to meet you Rich (NorthDownsScooby). Thanks for coming over to see us. We used to have a Forester Gunship in the Squadron a few years back, run by a Guy called Smiler Miles who graduated up from an "estate" to take on those "tougher" Squadron roles!!!

Here he is with his first Estate (and wife)

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3.../180206023.jpg

And with his blue classic Estate (at Dunsfold)

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3.../141006036.jpg

And finally with his heavily modified Gunship

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...29-3008047.jpg

Regrettably, Smiler Miles is MIA after being shot down by the Mitsubishi......................

SUBARMAN 03-09-2009 09:56 AM

We'll meet one day Scruff !!!

trails 03-09-2009 10:08 AM

not sure at present, I've kinda lost the love at the moment...will give you a tinkle this afternoon as I'm back at work now.

SUBARMAN 03-09-2009 04:10 PM

A "special event" will therefore be planned to celebrate the eventual return of Trails' Wagon to operational duty Chaps and Chapesses!!

It's organising the Vulcan flypast that is going to prove the difficult bit!!

Being salty by nature I'm not easily impressed...but that would do the trick :D
