Biggles Biplane has flown?

Reported on another forum that the Biggles Biplane made first flight today!

Congrats to all – guess Low-n-Slow and Blue Max are currently in the pub, but hopefully we find out how it went soon!

Thanks Andy and Ollie for your hard work!

(Hope your new arrival has safely landed)

Just to add that the bit of ‘hangar stacking’ ahead of the flight also shows Paul Ford’s Fokker DR-1 Triplane replica G-FOKK and the Clutton FRED G-BMSL. The latter is for sale if anyone is interested!

(Cue rude comments from Damien or Ben Brown!)

Thanks all for the kind words, it means an awfull lot to have her flying once more. As you can imagine yesterdays flight was tinged with a tad of emotion for me in particular. Some more test flying to complete and the as for the question of OW, Stow M and Legends??? well watch this space is all we can say right now:D

Hi

Nice to see this back where she belongs – any chance of it being at Legends?

Ignore the pictures (well – until later, they’re nice but just not “right”), and just enjoy the appropriate tune!

I say chaps – jolly well done, what! Now pay a visit to RFC Port Meadow, and I’ll bring you out a cup of tea and a fairy cake…
