I pretty much lost the will to do aeros in a large aircraft after we lost one of our Nimrods at the end of a display in Canada, after a wing over at low level.
No, as much as I love aeros in Grobs and Bulldogs, I only like watching DC4s aerobatting with my feet firmly on the ground.
Nice display by the way.

How am I bad by asking someone to quit being presumptuous about the feelings of 300+ million people in a country where he’s never lived and visited for all of three weeks? :rolleyes:
Well, speaking from experience, most Brits make an informed opinion on the American way of life by watching a documentry series called er….Family Guy.:D

Approach room RAF St Mawgan a few years ago.
We were 24 hours and to pass the time during the evening we played ‘clag’ (cards) round a table, with the approach controller next to the radar console.
At about 9pm the (then) Brymon Dash 8 called inbound from Plymouth and our controller (a W.O.) was distracted while he set up our incoming for an ILS for runway 31. When established on the localiser, he slid two feet left to monitor the approach on the PAR. From 9 miles to touchdown our intrepid controller watched every blip on the radar calling out the 8 and 3 mile clearances. We could hear the tyres screech as the aircraft touched down.
Our controller half turned to us and said “That was the worst ****ing ILS I’ve ever seen!” then turned back to the screen, to which a very hurt voice came back from the pilot “do you really think so?”
He had accidently transmitted with his foot switch when he had turned to us for comment!

Gent at the door
“Do you own the Spitfire on the trailer usually parked out the front?”
“Yes”
“Would it be available for a show at Retallick?”:)
“er……..what sort of show?”
“Charity, Mother and baby”
“Are you sure you want my Spitfire for a mother and baby event?”:confused:
“Yes”
“Being a charity I guess you don’t want to to pay an appearance fee?”:rolleyes:
“No”
“Alright, I do charities,…………when?”
“Friday” (today is Wednesday):eek:
“You’re kidding?”
“er,……no”:o
“Most people book it up to a year in advance to have any chance in getting it at all. I do 4 charity events a year of which I’ve done 4 already and usually for Help for heroes, RAFA, RABF etc all pretty war like things, do you really think my Spitfire would be appropriate at a mother and baby show?”
“er”
“Sorry mate, its booked this weekend to the Cosby show, but I know a bloke with a Spitfire, not quite as good as mine, with an engine that starts and cannons that fire, do you wish me to ask him?”:diablo:
“er, no thats alright, maybe next year”
“Yes, try and give me more than two days notice”
“Bye”
