LA-9 Arrives

I believe that she is now at Duxford – and also something else that’s far more interesting!

How on earth can a spitfire be more interesting than a LA-9, how many LA-9s have you seen fly = i thought not i would rather stick a spit on a pole than OFMCs LA-9

Whatever it is I hope it doesn’t upset Digby, my PC’s not up to the strain and it wouldn’t sit on a pole too well.: eek:

Is there any danger of finding out what’s the ‘more interesting’ item at Duxford ?

This is starting to smack of a ‘I know something, you don’t’ type conversation. All it needs is the ner ner ner ner at the end !

Come on David, put us out of our misery !!

Sorry about that DIGBY not suggesting anything,but it sounds like SNAPPER has upset TFC and thats not good for the rest of us when we visit.

How many Typhoons are there? Hmmmmmmmmmm ONE.
And how many ’51’s are there? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm OOPS just made a mess of myself.
You can never have enough beautifully coloured Mustangs. As for boring old green and brown/grey camauflaged things, well MH434 is all i need to see.

Droptank I hope you are not connecting me with TFC as I only wish I was a volunteer I do admit though I am mechanically minded ” I screw up most things ” I was indicating what I heard and that it was not direct from TFC as for mounting on the pole now that was not hearsay you can take that as read:D 😀 😀 😀

To Snapper and Ant Harrington it sounds to me that you two need sticking on top of a pole and I don’t use vaselene and snapper your Media badce trick won’t so I am told won’t work in Hangar two again at Duxford:D 😀 😀 😀

I’ll enjoy having a look for the mystery extra on Sunday when I’m off to the Fathers Day Spitfire event at Duxford (as mentioned by Ashley on a previous thread).

Another reason to enjoy the Museum !

Cheers,

Andrew

With the alleged problems for the NZ restored P40, will the NZ restored La-9 run into similar difficulties? Is it NZ or UK registered?

Agreed there Snapper,the TF51’s are possibly the ugliest Mustangs around,and I have to say the Friedkin example is particularly so.Ah well,it makes a nice noise anyway,and it seats two! 🙂
