Comment on Bee Sex by Richard

Voyeur!!!! I wrote an article about bees several months ago, they are amazing and would you believe it is more important to help the bee survive than climate change. Once the bee is gone there will be little food as there are no other insects that pollinates as efficiently as the bee. For reasons no one can explain they are abandoning Hives and vanishing, not back into the wild. The bee is under attack from mites and virus, the government was asked to provide £10 million to carry out research into the survival of the bee and refused on the grounds they did not have the money. They say that when the Bee dies so will we.

I enjoyed the video and music, there is nothing like a brass band for keeping the back stiff the chin up and marching behind. However, wasn’t that Benny Hill conducting?

Comment on Spitfire Fly-Past (formerly known as Mustang Fly-Past) by Richard

I am pleased you accepted my comment in very good grace, I was reluctant to make it but though it would be a shame to ruin a good piece of work. I am also impressed that you had the batteries charged, I manage to look through the viewfinder only to discover I am filming nothing and always the best shots.

I enjoyed watching it and your video confirmed what I had told someone as we listened but could not see the plane, “Sounds like a Spitfire,” and you prove me right.

I always feel the modern jet is terrifying not only because of the fire power but the noise, when the Folkestone air show was on the noise of the jet vibrated your body and everything around you.

Once again I can only say how much I enjoyed watching the video, Mustang or Spitfire who gives a damn.

Hello Richard, thanks for your comments.
I am very happy to stand corrected. As a general rule of thumb, I find it best to accept everything my wife tells me. On this occasion, she told me it was a Mustang, and I believed her, because she used to work at the Imperial War Museum, (though not as a historian, before you start to worry too much). I have since checked the Euromilitaire website, (if only I could turn back time), which confirms there was a Spitfire flypast scheduled for around noon on Sunday.
I was thinking, as it flew by several times, how terrifying it must have been to have lived here when they and their German counterparts were flying overhead!
Thanks again for your contribution. Hope you pop back to check us out from time to time.

Are you sure Mustang, sounds more like a spitfire, Mustang wing tip square, also looks like the Remembrance Flight, by the markings it is 541 squadron, could have been for the 20 year-old fighter pilot found in his Hurricane at Newchurch though that may have been the week before. Still very good and lucky to have caught it, I could hear it but it appeared to be inland, echo of the buildings one imagines.

Sounds from my childhood, flew until 1957, and am certain it was a regular visitor to Folkestone when they filmed the Battle of Britain at Hawkinge.

None of the S&G team will be officially attending the Festival but will be in the area more to see how it’s all going to work, thats the more intriguing angle so far.

Does seem they are leaving it late to get it all ready and prepared though.
