promised my grandson a visit to a fly-in at CHURCH FENTON but this was cancelled due to the weather and relocated to jan 31st instead . so not liking to promise and not fulfil we decided to have a look round ELVINGTON, great idea we both had a good day result. the highlight being the engine run on the victor very impressive

A cracking set of shots Bobby, many thanks for posting. Love the Victor, what a stunning looking machine.

[billsamuels]

Well done Bob.

This is why I love AFA - just seeing your photo's has made me add Elvington to the list of places I have to visit, soon!!!

Cheers Bob.

thanks guys much appreciated , there is to be a new hangar which will be next to the existing black hangar, not sure when this will happen though
regards bob

Well worth the wait...

Great to see some shots of my old local RAF Elvington Bobby

When I was a kid I used to bike down there (7 miles from home) and watch the queues of lorries at the giant concrete mixing towers making the new runway ,rumoured then to be one of the longest in Europe, for the expected USAF B52s.

They never materialised, just 1 B66...officially a change in US policy but locals reckoned it had something to do with the persistant fog !!
