Skyraider Has Departed

I saw the ex TFC skyraider flying around the circuit at Duxford before departing south,so it looks like she has gone to a new home at least its still in the UK.

No, I think the best combination would be Seafire / Sea Fury and Tempest II / Tempest V 😮

Well that would be acceptable I suppose 😀 😉

Perhaps a Seafire/Sea Fury duo and Tempest/Sea Fury duo is very much a possibility then for Legends 🙂

Perhaps I’m missing something here – what’s this about a Tempest II?? 😮

Daz – getting greedy! 😉

Are they not still grounded with engine troubles?

“If it isn`t broke” now thats another old chestnut that rears its ugly head each year.

Forget about the P38 thats not going to happen but you never know something rare may well appear we will have to wait and see.

Agreed Snapper!

i don’t care what turns up!, Harvards, Spits, Hurri’s, Moth’s, Yaks

I want good weather!

And a flight line so long that they have to double park!

I believe the P38 that TFC allegedly purchased is now up for sale again,so it looks unlikely that it will ever cross the pond.Needless to say I hope I’m wrong.

“Most of all I want to see everything fly away that flew in.”

I’ll second Snapper’s comments.

I want to see the CAF’s B-29 FIFI more than anything.
Oh and more P-51’s and no Spitfires.

I want to see Austers, Harvards, stuff like that. I want to see the usual line-up, but don’t forget these again! AND I WANT TO SEE CAROLYN GRACE.

I want to see Janie, so will come on the Saturday. Apparently she’s the kind of girl who lets herself out rather than stay for breakfast…

I want to see veterans being respectfully noted by the public.

I want to see you guys and gals.

Most of all I want to see everything fly away that flew in.

I know it’s a bit ‘lighter’ than most of the stuff that usually appears at Legends,but it would be nice to see the Friedkin’s Grumman J2F Duck amphibious floatplane. 🙂
