Thanks guys, I thought it sounded a bit odd too. I have wondered if it is an aerial but would that have been very visible in terms of the other Fury pilots noticing it on his plane and avoiding it? I thought they were quite thin.

I’m also wondering, as it was an air dispaly, if it were something rigged up specifically for the public display? Maybe to simular bombs being dropped they dropped a cable with a light on?

Who knows.

Steve, if you could ask your Hendon crew friend what he thinks I’d be very grateful, thanks. Especially regarding how thick the cable was and how visible.

For further discussion on this you can see my parrallel post at PlaneTalk.
