HAC Bristol Fighter

So that explains the pair of biplanes my mum spotted on aproach to Henlow today.

There were even threesomes sometimes. It was a DH Moth Club Flying Forum Day -and the Bristol became an honorary de Havilland type for the day!

Sorry about the bendy prop, that’s what happens when you take air-to-air pics on your phone!

It IS absolutely gorgeous. Stuart G. brought her into Henlow for the benefit of an into-wind landing. The radio call “watch for a Bristol Fighter 10 o’clock high” is one I’ll savour forever.

Congratulations to the VAC / DH Moth club combined prop swinging team for their efforts which allowed a second flight!

Well done those involved 🙂 So what are the plains for this bird now will she be at any airshows this year.

Was that the Brisfit heading North up the A1 past Biggleswade with a red and silver Tiger Moth “chase plane” at around 1530? I was at 2,000 feet in my Airtourer and I saw them just below me. Super job all round.

Hope its at Leg…

Well done Guy.

Oh wow, that’s gorgeous. Hearty congrats to Mr Black and crew…

S.

Superb!! i heard it this afternoon over a phone! look fwd to seeing it in the flesh! 🙂

Hi Propstrike,

I believe Guy Black’s (HAC) Brisfit now has the honour.

Septic.

I remember that the commentator at Old Warden always used to go banging on, or rather, ‘informing the crowds’ that the engine in the Shuttleworth Bristol Fighter was the oldest airworthy Rolls Royce engine.

I wonder if this is still the case?

Superb news 😀

Congratulations to all involved. When will we see all 3 together? I hope soon.

hmmmmmmmmmmm.
