Legends 2006 – New projects?

Blenheim

I would like to see the Blenheim back in the air, in which ever mark they decide to rebuild it to. This has a more realistic chance of happening!

Alvis – The king is alive.

Hi Robbo

You obviously don’t know young Alvis

I thought he was last seen working in a chip shop in Tunbridge Wells.

Hi Guys

Something VERY nice is coming to Leg Ends 2006 at a pinch or 2007 – VERY NICE – Can’t talk but you will all be VERY happy. Will talk when I can.

Absolutely nothing – a pair of these fly over my house in close unison nearly every weekend. Love em

Hi Tony

Yes I am a dolt – I thought you meant Bristol engines in the Glads and the Gauntlet (although I believe it has Alvis power?) I didn’t think of the Bristols – never forget the Bristols I say. Brisfits would be great all toogether.

John P

So, what’s wrong with Alvis Power then??

Roger Smith,

Hi John

I suspect that all would hold formation pretty well – The pioly is no slouch noe the Nimrod.

What I was meaning was how would the inter-war Hind/Demon/Nimrod/Fiat/… (and don’t forget the Gauntlet?) formation get on following the slow three-ship TFC/HAC/Shuttleworth Bristol Fighter fleet which, all going well, may very well be available for next year.

Making it’s first appearance in 2006 at Leg Ends should be myself, Rlangham! Finally hoping to get myself down there, if i have a car by then, maybe i’ll even pluck up the courage to meet you lot 😀

Hi Albert

Yes but it was encouraging that the Nimrod and Gladiator flew together this year – at least they think about it – They just need to think about putting more of the biplanes up together.

I have it on good authority that they stopped flying B36’s because of a tendancy to try to fly in both directions at once

B-36…The ‘Tug’ of War

BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH WAY IT IS FLYING MR SMARTYBOTTOM!

Melwinge

With four pulling and six pushing it doesn’t matter. :rolleyes:

Mr Smartybotham

Ian
Was that Chinease stirring or is your english just poor.

Yes – another Nimrod – very nice – I just hope this one flies more often than the first one seems too

Mk12

Yes a Seafire in blighty would be cool.

John

John,

I am really looking forward to seeing Skysport’s Hawker Demon flying in formation with the Nimrod and Shuttleworth’s Hind, but whether this will occur at Legends or Old Warden….even at all…remains to be seen. :rolleyes:

Well, Like Mark12, I’d hope too that Tim Manna’s Seafire XVII will be there and it would be nice if the Seafire 47 could make a trip across the pound to form a unique Seafire duo, perhaps with the Sea Fury tagging along too for good measure. 🙂

And I wouldn’t mind one of the new build Me262’s either!

Oh & the TFC Fiat CR.42 and Skysport Demon would round things off nicely for me. 😀

Personally I would rather see something different to the Spitfire derivatives and endless P51’s etc.

Steve,

That’ll be because most of the engines are facing the wrong way. 🙂

Mark

BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW WHICH WAY IT IS FLYING MR SMARTYBOTTOM!

What about two Nimrods, a Hind , a Demon, Two Gladiators, Some Polikarpovs and the Fiat – Now you are talking serious Biplane Grunt!!! and certainly better than the Supermarine glamour parade !!!!!

Would they be able to hold formation OK behind the three Bristol Fighters?

Tony Andrews

Spitfires & Seafires!

Well, TA805 should have flown by then and will hopefully be booked.

And how about JG891! Must be progressing nicely now?

John,

And even the Gloster Gauntlett from Finland 😮

didn’t take long to swerve towards fantasy land judging by some of these posts 😉

On the contrary, it is good news. The XC-99 is now at the USAF museum awaiting restoration.
