So will any of our European thread brothers be going to the Farnborough air show?

Do you mean Fairford? It's been rained off for today, and maybe tomorrow. The spotters have relocated to the main road at the bottom of our runway, hoping to see something interesting no doubt.

Farnborough starts on Monday after RIAT Martin. I am glad I didn't go if its been badly hit by rain. We are going to see some classical performances at Orwell Park School near Nacton tomorrow evening - I have my fingers crossed for good weather...

Squaddie makes Miss England final

Katrina Hodge is a part-time model and a soldier in the British Army

A female soldier who once fought off a suspected Iraqi insurgent has won a place in the final of Miss England.

Katrina Hodge, 21, will participate in the contest in July, having already won the Miss Tunbridge Wells crown.

L/Cpl Hodge was nicknamed Combat Barbie in 2005 after being given a bravery commendation for saving the lives of members of her regiment in Iraq.

They were held at gunpoint when their vehicle overturned but L/Cpl Hodge punched the gunman and took his rifles.

She said: "I was in complete shock at first. The force of the accident caused our vehicle to roll over three times and threw us off guard.

"As I came round, the Iraqi suspect was standing over us with the rifles. I knew if I didn't act fast then our lives would be in danger.

"I punched him and the force startled him enough for me to retrieve the rifles from him."

Miss Hodge, a military clerk with The Adjutant General's Corps, will go on to appear at Miss World 2008 if she wins the English title.

"I was delighted to have been selected for the Miss England final and it is a great honour," she added.

"Being a part-time model and a serving soldier is certainly a world apart. I want to use this competition to highlight the work that the Army are doing and what they have done for this country."

She is currently serving at Frimley Park Hospital in Camberley and will take part in the Miss England national finals on Friday.

She looks a bit ginger in some of those, so she probably smells of wee...

Plus she's a pongo.

They are, which is why it's good that they got one flying again. I've not seen her in the air yet. It was due to do a flypast last year for the Falklands 25 parade but failed a test IIRC.

I've also heard that there is the possibility of getting a second Lancaster airworthy in the UK

I hope so, as it's the one I sat in when I was a (very) young lad.

And all along I thought the Vulcan was Mr. Spock.

She is very cute, but Dixie, would you mind translating your comments for us Colonials?

A "Pongo" is RAF slang for a British Army soldier.

Totally rained off now. The Vulcan didn't visit us either

I also missed a chance to volunteer to go to Fairford with the '10. I'll have to pay more attention to notices around my work place

Maybe next year...
