EuroAvChat Golf

This week on Across The Pond its time for a catch up with Gareth and Tim. We get into a great discussion about material both the Royal Aeronautical Society and Global Aviation Resource have produced.

Some old, some new!

 

In GAR's monthly magazine (6) there are some great articles and stories. My favourites are around the EE Lightning and the F14 Tomcat. What really caught my eye was the feature on C135's at Mildenhall. The photo's are fantastic and a must if like me, your were one of those visitors to Mildenhall in the early eighties when these aircraft were really something special to see.

With Tim we talk about his visit to Singapore and how Rolls Royce have opened a new factory there to service the market growth expected in the region. We also talk about some footage unearthed of some great old aircraft, a Spitfire painted blue, the Red Arrows in the Gnats and a Mosquito.
