    Think it’s a case of good marketing……. More money to be made if you do a final goodbye tour and drum up business by saying it’s the last ever flight.

    ……..bit of an expensive last ever flight though:eek:

    The Arrows – binned (after all they don’t defend or attack anything).

    Not strictly true, they would/could have a daytime fighter role with gunpods, etc
    They told me themselves a few years ago that that was a reason they would be one of the last to switch the lights off in the RAF.

    Won’t be long before the three services become combined forces at this rate.:rolleyes:

    So, you fully/blindly support the IRA yet condemn their violence.

    What a crock 😎

    There would not be much left too support after the murdering IRA scum finished their deeds. Knee-capping their own people, robbing their own banks, torturing, doorstep killing, bombing civilians in NI and mainland Britain, extortion, murder. etc,etc. Always been impressed in how bravely these scum killed Louis Mountbatten, how was that, a bomb, very brave.

    Quite easy for people who did not live through it, to insult the intelligence of people who did.

    I’m a bit shocked by this, as for more than 100 years we had an 1880’s Smith & Wesson revolver in my family’s possession which belonged to my great-grandfather.

    He was a Cornish Miner who went to South Africa at the end of the 19th C. and brought it back with him when he came home.

    My grandfather was a Farmer and kept it loaded during the second world war, “in case the Nazis landed”.

    I didn’t want to part with it, but with a heavy heart finally took advantage of one of the fire arms amnesties to hand it in to the Police.

    We know we shouldn’t have unlicensed guns and if caught we face the consequences, no matter who or what we are.

    Not sure you were breaking any law here.

    I was told any gun over 100 years does not need a FAC therefore can be legally owned by anyone. Doesn’t mean you can carry it up the high street though.

    Nearly bought one of these 12 years ago, was going to put in garden and track aircraft landing at St Mawgan.:diablo:

    Bought Spitfire instead.:)

    Trace elements of Thorium 232 in nose.
    H&S risk assessments, method statements. Hot works and cutting welds, seized legs,corrosion, cranes needed etc

    I would be suprised if anything happened to them after releasing all the murdering members of the IRA under the banner of peace.

    They cannot have their cake and eat it.

    It’s worth bearing in mind that this isn’t a ‘historic’ aircraft in the true sense of the word . Therefore an insurance company would be looking at the cost of buying new from Germany rather than spending more money on expensive restoration of damaged components!

    EBAY!!:D:diablo:

    Accidently walking across a minefield 1982 behind Sapper Hill and Tumbledown. A Rapier unit watching through binos betting how far before impending explosion,
    they all lost, I made it through! ( the fence defining it had fallen over ) My Sgt at the time ( who years later worked for me ) tried giving me a b*ll*cking, instead ended up buying me a beer:D (Blue skies, Dave Elliott)
