joyce Green aerodrome
Hi all,
I am a new member so apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. I have recently been doing a bit if research on the old aerodrome at Joyce Green. This airfield celebrates it's centenary this year. The first flight having taken Place in July 1911 before it eventually closed in 1919. Could anyone let me know if it is possible/realistic to try and arrange for a ww1 or earlier aircraft to perform a flypast to celebrate this centenary. I think it would be great to arrange something. if anyone has any contacts with suitable aircraft that would be really great. Joyce Green was temporarily home to some notable ww1 aces including Mccudden and Mannock. The airfield was also the home of Vickers and sons who test flew most of their early designs here including the gunbus. Thanks in advance Gerry |

Most of the WW1 airplanes fly around in the USA, as far as I know.
There are some in Britain. Try the "replica aircraft" sub forum to see if you can find one. Good luck, Regards, FD-Mike ps. Don't have mine yet, sorry, else I would love to. |

What ho gedburke3.
There are a pair of SE5 replicas that fly at the Rougham autumn display that might fit the bill. As far as 'originals' go, to the best of my knowledge they are all at the Shuttleworth collection and never venture too far from home. If, Joyce Green is in Kent then I saw a replica Spad in Dover in 2009 which also might be a possibility. Sorry I don't have details but maybe the pointers will help. Cheer ho John

Cheers John,
I have tried to search for the Dover Spad on Google but failed to find anything. I will also take a look for the SE5's. It was naive of me to think a period aircraft might come along!! Best wishes Gerry |

There are quite a few WW1 originals & Replicas in the UK. Suggest you contact the "Aviation Classics" magazine as they recently did an issue on WW1 Warbirds & featured a number of UK based aircraft. Email is www.aviationclassics.co.uk Good Luck!
