Night Flight ( a ten-minute read)

In early June 2024, we spent a very windy week with our ancient little caravan at the Camping and Caravan Site at Dunbar.

This was our first proper visit to East Lothian. It is a very attractive part of Scotland and I am sure we will be back to explore further, and soon.

On this trip we visited the National Museum of Flight at East Fortune Airfield, a visit I strongly recommend.

There is a Concorde which you can board to inspect up close plus two other huge hangers with dozens of vintage military and commercial aircraft which depict the hisory of flight.

Please do not miss the Vulcan V2 bomber. If you can find Duncan, he tells this aircraft’s amazing story quite brilliantly. Thank you Duncan!

One of the other aircraft on dispplay is a Bristol Beaufighter, a truly amazing WW2 workhorse - fast, flexible and very tough.

Night Flight tells the tale of two ‘transfer pilots’ assigned to deliver a refurbished Beaufighter to RAF East Fortune in September 1942.

It is entirely fictional.
