There are ways around some of these charges.

The CAA won’t charge aircraft arriving at a show, departing a show, practicing circuits and bumps, joining (run and break), PFLs, etc. Stuff you can see at airfields all year round. You could narrow the published display time to 3 hours and operate normal airport/airfield activities outside of this. Wouldn’t worry me much, watching a B17 and a Lancaster flogging the same circuit and a Meteor joining overhead with a A400 training on the ILS. The circuits could be varied left or right and touch and go can be varied with a low approach and go round.
Aircraft can land, park on the apron, whilst the crew stop and have lunch, with the added bonus that the crowd can take photos during this period. A NOTAM could stipulate no visitors during the display times but can resume after the Red arrows ‘finish’ the show.

Anyway, just a thought.

Its Joe Mccarthy’s Lancaster ED915.
This is the final nose artwork, the photo shows artwork unfinished. His Lancaster went U/S on starting (for Chastise) and he took ED825 instead.[ATTACH=CONFIG]242626[/ATTACH]

Thought you was talking about the ship, it was parked next to me whilst on the Rangatiri, Falklands, 1982.

Tim always had a soft spot for RAF St Mawgan and was always interested in these threads.
I once put up a thread on collecting those black plastic profile plaques produced in the 70s/80s, Tim pitched up at SpitfireCorner one summers day and handed over some I hadn’t got.

When I see dayglo/red paint applied to historic aircraft, I always smile and think ‘nice one Tim’.

This forum will be a little duller without him.

I could be wrong…….

I think there is a (more) modern alternative, maybe something out off a Cessna twin that would fit.

Bruce will know.

Cadbury’s produced chocolate bars (as we know them) since 1897.

Some years ago (1986) I met a Hood sailor who was (lucky) posted dreckly before the ship sailed for Bismark. He told me the ship was at flank speed when hit and as the engines and propellers were undamaged, it propelled the ship (with all of the damage) immediately underwater from which there was no recovery.

Dambusters film – about to be cancelled?

Jackson whines he’s fed up with people asking “Are we there yet?”

Well, Mr Jackson you bought the rights to the film over ten years ago, we are sort of interested.
