Thunderbolts are go.

Bent Waters is fine, it all goes to pot when you put the two words together.

I think the site administrator needs to look at the profanity filters, because I can’t find much wrong with having Bent Waters.

Planes of Fame P47G N3395G seen here in May 93. Note the jump seat behind the pilot John Maloney. Who here is just about to give my friend a ride he will never forget.

It’s G-THUN. The Black and Yellow checks were done specifically for the Raydon Wings airshow. Raydon was a former P47 and P51 8th Airforce station (353rd FG) and I guess they wanted to see an aircraft in Raydon markings, now of course there is a Raydon Mustang based nearby which often goes back to visit the airfield.

“Here’s the other ex-Arnold one at Duxford in 1995”

You mean ’85 possibly?

I remember that one passing through Duxford, I understood that it went off for restoration in America, but have not seen anything of it since, would be about 85 / 86 I would think. Was it 44-90438?

Here’s a pic of Doug Arnolds T Bolt when it passed through Duxford around 1985.

I see the naughty word checker has deleted half of Ben****ers. It should say B-E-N-T W-A-T-E-R-S!

G-THUN at Raydon Wings 1999.
