Great video & blog.. love this sort of stuff. There’s a good museum in Scotland called national museum of flight ( east side of Edinburgh) which is worth a visit. 👍🏻
Really great to watch but I've seen all these planes before many times so I did not go. As a 50 year spotter with 30,000 planes seen I would recommend you video Duxford in September and the LAA rally at Leicester at the end of august(700 planes in 3 days) or the RIAT in July or the MLTF in popham in May if you want to although there are countless other videos on UA-cam covering these. You have done a good job as videos of east kirkby are rare as its a lincolnshire event not much known about in the big UK cities
Unfortunately I work weekends so am unable to attend Leicester this weekend 🥲 However, maybe in the future I will have the opportunity to visit other shows.
Wow your display was great! I actually got a lot of video of your Chipmunk. Some of you on the ground fiddling with your plane as well. Just didn’t end up using the footage. Hope you are doing more shows in the future 🤩
Just seen your channel for first time, I loved the airshow vlogs! There are far too few females covering aviation and airshows in particular on UA-cam so it's great to see. You should go back to Duxford next week for the Battle of Britain airshow, it's looking epic 👍
That was great! Did you notice the Mustang was whistling at you? Its not just the compressor its the gun ports too - four (I think) protruding pipes on each wing. They start when close to a stall ( in some circumstances) so he was just puttering along - but no doubt I'll be corrected on that one! Thank you and much Aroha from Aotearoa (NZ)
I did! That’s why I was so determined to have no music in that section. In the other aeroplane footage, the audio was either overtaken by wind or the people next to us was talking over it. So it was very lucky that the Mustang audio was almost perfect! Also it’s great to have a viewer all the way in New Zealand 🇳🇿😁
We visited EK 8 years ago, I had booked a Lancaster taxy ride to celebrate my step-dads 60th birthday.. His uncle was a Lancaster pilot with 100 squadron. He and his crew (except the tail gunner) were KIA after returning from a mission, at night, and crashing upon landing. Their aircraft was shot up and had 2 engines out. They narrowly missed a line of houses as they were so low, but he managed to avoid them, but crashed on the runway at White Waltham I believe. I’m proud to have his logbook in my possession. Anyway, we managed to stand behind the pilot and engineer for the taxy ride. It was incredible, the sound of all 4 RR Merlin’s
Thanks for sharing that story sad that it was I also took a taxi ride in just Jane 8 years ago August 29th, I stood in the cockpit behind the pilot as you say a fantastic experience
An amazing day for both mum and daughter!! Xxxx

Good video Sez… slightly slower pan shots and more engine sounds, but that’s me being picky!! (Don’t smack me) XX Pops.
Haha you are forgiven 😅
Brilliant video! I was displaying WG308 the red and white chipmunk (vintage pair display team). Was a great event, hope you had a wonderful time!
