Marske-by-the-Sea (1927) may seem a small, almost unknown place, but it has many exciting historical links discussed in the map notes, including a legendary literary flier… Capt. W.E. Johns spent time at the aerodrome here before going on to create #Biggles!

Biggles (1986) : quand l’as de l’aviation rencontre les années 80 Biggles: Adventures in Time (1986) ressuscite l’as de l’aviation de W.E. Johns dans une aventure pulp mêlant 14-18 et années 80. Entre Neil Dickson énergique, Alex Hyde-White falot et le dernier rôle de Peter Cushing, le film échoue à lancer une saga, mais inspire encore le jeu de rôle.

Biggles Biggles -  80's TV dinner salesman, Jim Ferguson, inadvertently saves the life of Biggles - a crash-landed pilot who somehow appeared from 1917. With the time hops coming along randomly, Jim never knows when he'll be called back to help Biggles and his crew. In more ways than one time is running out. Can they discover the location of a dastardly new secret German weapon and stop it before it's too late?  Biggles (1986) - Director: John Hough Rating: PG Running Length: 108 mins Starring: Alex Hyde-White, Neil Dickson, Peter Cushing…

We review the fabulously 80's adventure, Biggles, and highlight content which may be inappropriate for children. #Biggles #FamilyMovies

Lieutenant W E Johns was based here for a time as a flying instructor, notable crashing into a fellow officer’s back door, before later going on to write the #Biggles stories. Also paying a flying visit was Captain Roy Brown, the man credited with shooting down the Red Baron.

If you see this, quote with a time travel film that's not BACK TO THE FUTURE.

(I love time travel stories. So many to choose from...)

Today’s reading material. Language & social mores predictably dated (eg hero smoking a cigarette) but the storylines are great. #Biggles

Why has there never been a really good Biggles movie? Someone needs to make one. 🤔

Poster for the film Biggles: Adventures in Time. With a big picture of Biggles's head, complete with flying cap.

At a loose end so I spent a couple of minutes* looking at anagrams for BIGGLES: ADVENTURES IN TIME.

Came up with
SING: TIME BUNGLE IS AVERTED - which feels sort of right.

Not quite so pleased with EDITING GERMAN’S VESTIBULE - which feels a bit random.

Anyway... #Biggles
