    Anyone else like Birds AND planes?

    I have somewhere, a b&w photo of PZ865 that I took circa 1964/5 at Biggin Hill. She was taxying through the crowd - yes through the crowd, from her static display position to runway! Can you imagine H&S letting that happen today :eek!: At that time she wore her "Last of the Many" signature

    Anyone else like Birds AND planes?

    I have somewhere, a VHS video of Mosquito RR299 displaying at the North Weald 'Fighter Meet' that I filmed in 1995/6 (?) - an unforgettable experience which I must dig it out and put up on youtube! I was heartbroken at her terrible end, particularly as it was due to poor maintenance. As I...

    Anyone else like Birds AND planes?

    I saw them at Headcorn last Saturday, superb sight and sound. Here a pic taken with my crap camera - 9 Merlins and a Griffon. I did though manage to get some nice video clips of them coming head on, an unforgettable sight.

    Super-cheap detectors from the toy shop

    Thanks for the tip off, I bought one of these a few weeks back but have been 'batless' until last night o:D I've also discovered that my garden is alive with what I presume are crickets calling. Last night there was an endless cacophony of various clicks and chirps of differing lengths and...

    What's the rarest bird you've had in your garden?

    Actually in the garden, Waxwing, Woodcock, both Flycatchers, Black Redstart and Med Gull, all of which I consider to be fairly rare, although the later are 10 a penny down here during the winter. But the rarest, which I initially thought was a Goldcrest, was a Hume's/YB Warbler, I couldn't be...
