It was my first time to call at Felixstowe on Aug. 10. And I had a great liberty call, cruising around the town near the harbor. Gentle people and wonderful atmosphere absolutely attracted all crew on YM Evolution. All of us look forward to calling at this fabulous place next month.
Love to hear a bit of the historical history that train was modeled after. It's name, it's yrs of operation and where did it run? It was a really great looking train, like it was built for speed.
She is a smaller version of a Nigel Gresley Pacific 4-6-2. You can check out the operators at RHDR.ORG.UK and the Davey Paxman Company on Google ( became part of MAN Germany who closed the plant in Colchester ). The colour is LNER Apple Green. She was indeed built for speed as she is a shrunk Flying Scotsman
@@39iMAGES Thank you; I have 5 hours left in the mountains that afternoon to be able to see him leave; as I have a bad cell phone and I am very far away, I could not record the cargo operations well.
One of the physics teachers at my school had been a navigator on the Javelin and ejected twice. One he admitted was his fault - he steered it in to a hill.
oh dear !! but clearly now a member of the same club as my dad ( run by Martin Baker : who run a database of ejections - google Martin Baker Tie Club ) .
These images are from an old family album of my mum and her family. The photographs from 1936 are on film, small and deteriorating … so this was a way to preserve after digitisation. Over the next few months we will revisit where they were taken and update the clip
Very true and being a small child walking around the flight line with my Navigator dad at RAF Coltishall ( as you could in those days ) the aircraft seemed massive ... nowadays, if you can find one, not so much ( there is a static at the Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum )
It's great that you are keeping the memory of these brave people alive. I worked in East Anglia for 25 years and the area is dotted with memorals to these brave airmen. The memorials are kept in superb condition but are not always easy to find, as the airfield they once flew from has long been converted into farmland or housing. The people of Britain are ever thankfull for the sacrifices these brave American airmen made.
Did a flight out of Seething 8 years ago with C172. Present airfield size is merely a fraction of it's otiginal size. Nice museum in the control tower. Definitely worth a visit by rosd or air.
Flown a light aircraft over here. The original runway and perimeter track is very clear from 1000 ft. Lot more difficult to trace former airfield during 2 ground visits. Nice war memorial.
Hell yeah us LGBTQ democrats will never repent from our sins . These republicans going around with their Jesus religion telling us to get right with God , we will not do it. Us LGBTQ democrats dont care about righteousness and holiness . Jesus teachings are white surpremist and racist only people who listen to Jesus teachings are Republicans and people like them . Us LGBTQ with get rid of Jesus and his bible from the face of the earth . Us LGBTQ democrats will stop that King James Bible with Jesus and these Christians from ever existing from the earth
The Royal Photographic Society East Anglia Documentary Group is considering doing a project on the Big Week 80th Anniversary in February next year. If it 'takes off' you can find it here. Many thanks for your support
It was a great summer all round .. must come to Lowestoft more often. Will certainly be back in 2023 and thinking around dawn 21JUN ( to go into the diary ) I think you guys kind of celebrate the pagan days as much as we North folk Thanks for the support
you going ? you going to post ? we were meant to get the PB2 but presumably went tech as it was withdrawn on the day (and we had Sally B last year). Given that this was all shot on a DJI pocket 2 I've been down to wex for something with a bit more zoom :)
@@39iMAGES And very respectful you were as well to the competitors on the day.....considering on how choppy it got in the afternoon you did well to grab what footage you did.
