Lynx, Chinook and Sally B!!! Wooweeee!

20/05/2007 by Pudsey.

Exciting day – Duxford Spring Show & Nigel has managed to get me a pass for the pilot’s tent – excellent!! Caught up with Brad R (he hasn’t read my comments yet on the wedding!) & also meet Big Nose (& his wing-walking girlies), & Richard Grace again (oh yes his mum has a Spitfire :-)). Tracey the PR lady loved me & wanted to take me home … well I loved the trousers Tracey … buy my tickets & you might win me!  Well it was great to mingle with real display pilots & I managed to secure a flight with Barry Jones in the Blue Eagles … in the Lynx! We barrel rolled, looped the loop & done some ½ Cubans to turn around … & it was in a helicopter!! Then I went with D Traill in the Chinnock – that thing may look big & heavy on the ground – but it’s great in the air! And I got to be the VIP person who waved from the back … so glad it was the glove that he dropped & not me!! Finally I got to fly on Sally B – in the nose turret – fantastic. To top off a brilliant, brilliant day I need to go & watch BBC Look East to see if I made it onto TV!!
