September 17th - Anyone who missed the Dakota flypast so much that they are prepared to see a video of its landing at Manchester, a 20 minute YouTube film is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xsyXNuse5Q.
September 16th - A Neighbourhood Watch suggestion from our ex Chief Superintendant is very topical in the light of stolen vehicles recently recovered in Lowedges. Often the first that the original owners know about their vehicle having been cloned is when they receive a speeding ticket or other summons including parking. Sometime in the past they may have had their number plates stolen, as was the case recently in the Dore area where a number of plates were taken. The owner buys a replacement set of plates and forgets about it until something happens. The rogues may use the plates for a number of illegal activities after fitting them to a similar vehicle. A quick check on car checker or a similar website will only show the type of vehicle and colour etc. but not if their plates have been stolen.
As a simple method of proving it was not your vehicle being used illegally, our member suggests putting a significant marker or sticker in your rear window that can easily be seen on any speed camera or other type of camera. You have to take a time & date stamped photo of the rear of your car to prove you have had the identifier on the vehicle for some time, and it is unlikely the rogues will notice the identifier whilst stealing your plates, and so the photo of their car will not include this sticker.

September 16th – The sun shone all week-end, not only on the BAG Fun Day but also on the steam train which delighted everyone who saw it puff along the line through Dore & Totley Station.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (Official) Dakota was expected to fly over the Fun that was happening on the Village Green at 15:38, but it had to make an emergency landing at Manchester Airport because of an engine failure on the number two engine. The aircraft landed without further damage, but emergency services were prepared. The crew have been praised for bringing the stricken aircraft down safely
Unsurprisingly flying a 60+ year-old war plane led to issues and brought Manchester Airport to a temporary standstill. A spokesman for Manchester Airport said the landing had not had an impact on operations.
On Sunday, the Wing Commander rang to apologise to BAG. But there’s no chance of a refund because there was no fee in the first place.
