North Weald Airfield and Hangar 11 01/07/17
On the 1st of July 2017 I decided to visit North Weald Airfield once again, I was aware that
the Hangar 11 owned North American P-51D Mustang 'Tall In The Saddle' was booked
to appear at the Blackbushe 75th Anniversary Festival of Flight which was taking place over two
days, from the 1st to the 2nd of July. The booking was for Saturday 1st July.
The Hangar 11 owned Supermarine Spitfire PR Mk.XI PL965 was also due to appear but only on Sunday
2nd July, I took pot luck on the Saturday & hoped for the best.
When I arrived early on Saturday Morning I noticed that 3 of the Hangar 11 collection of aircraft were out on
the pan, Hawker Hurricane Mk.II BE505, Hurribomber 'Pegs' was also out & with several of her panels removed.
It appeared the aircraft was going to be 'ground run'. She looked gorgeous, even semi-naked! :-)
What a fabulous hour or so before the Mustang headed off to Blackbushe!
Below are 36 images from my visit to North Weald on Saturday 1st July 2017 :
