40 Years of the Beagle and Bulldog

[Darren Harbar]

The 40th Anniversary of the Beagle 100 which became the Bulldog in service life was celebrated at Shoreham airfield on Easter Sunday. Following a very kind offer from the Skyhawks team to fly down from North Weald and capture the event from the air, the following images display what a fantastic day we had. Thanks so much to fellow ML407 supporter Trevor (my pilot for the day).

We flew down with G-IPUP

We flew back via Beachy Head with NW based AT-3 in tow!

Thanks for posting the images here Darren. The Pup is a great British aircraft, and I was proud to be involved in celebrating this significant anniversary, and what a day it turned out to be - perfect weather, great company and a successful result. Couldn't ask for more than that.

I'm glad you enjoyed the trip too! Beachey Head was brilliant.

Thanks Peter,

It was rather odd over Beachy Head, as in true B of B form, we had a Pole (Polish aircraft) in formation over the cliffs....quite surreal.
