Saturday was the annual Project Propellor event when today's pilots fly Royal Air Force World War II flight crew veterans to their re-union.

A fine sunny morning and the aircraft which I had hired for the day was ready and waiting at Newcastle Airport.

My co-pilot and our passenger on arrival at the venue for this year's event, The Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden in Bedfordshire. The venue has an aviation museum, a vintage vehicle museum, a birds of prey falconry centre and an ornamental swiss garden.

Outside the Royal Aero Club blister hangar, with its control tower on top. Xmarkers will recognise this location which has appeared in many films.

Outside the main reception with a visitor's Harley Davidson parked outside, and some war veterans in their navy blue blazers.

I thought of Riverkilt when I saw this as his father flew Hurricanes. Technically this one is a Sea Hurricane as it operated for the Royal Navy.

A Chipmunk trainer in the colours of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
