Stormin’s info.

Thanks for the info Stormin, but i’ve been at coningsby since
monday and was in the dak this afternoon when it came
back with the Spit X1X we flew back from Duxford with her
on the wingtip.
PS, Lucky Sod Eh:D 😀 😉

Ben and others, I had the frustration of working just north of DX today, I could hear engines but wasn’t able to look out of the window, great sound, great temptation and incredibly frustrating….

Lanc airtest as per schedule this morning. A couple of minor snags which hopefully have been sorted. Flying again tomorrow morning and poss Friday (weather permitting). Saw PS915 arrive at Coningsby, cracking new paint scheme, followed closely by a superb pass by one of the Chipmunks and then a pass by the Dak. Busy afternoon!!!!

PS915 off back to Coningsby

PS915 took off at just before 2pm, and is flying back to Coningsby with the BBMF Dakota as I type this.

She certainly looked good as she flew round the back of my house – just didn’t have the camera ready 🙁

Living where I do, and not being able to go too far too often due to being my wife’s at home carer, I don’t get to see the old girl too often, but My God, when I do, it moves me to the bone. 😀

Suitably ashamed!! :p

Go on my girl, get down that runway and get some air under yer wings!!! 😀

Just a little light banter to brighten the start to the week Stormin, no offence meant, we are all friends here. Any info posted is important to all of us and we are greatful for it.
Hope all goes well today and the weather is ok, it is a cracking start to the day down here of the north essex coast.
Cheers for now,
Phil A

Thanks for the info Stormin, didn’t mean any offence, as Hatton said, just a bit of banter old chap!:)

ah, so another lunchtime sitting in the viewing area carpark for me then again tomorrow!

Practice displays will start the day after the air test if she is serviceable, approval for the display season is about the 26th April hope this helps.

Latest info PS915 completed her air test today at Duxford and should return to Coningsby tomorrow about 14:30 ish.

Her new scheme represents PS888 81 Sqn 1954, Far East,
Pr Blue/Medium sea grey, no doubt pictures will appear here soon.

thanks for info stormin, i think the other members comments were meant to be lighthearted,please dont take offence. Anyhow they managed to bump your topic up to the top for a short while somore people would notice it 🙂

does anyone have info when the lanc will do practise displays?

thanks again, steve

Thanks for those replies, some people want to know this info. If you don’t then just ignore it or the info will become less forthcoming!!

Bum doors open.
