    Willy. if you look through this thread you will see that the DVII rep was made for LOA but not actually used in the film. Two Tigers, G-ANNF and G-ANLC were slightly modified and used.

    I’m sure the Avro 504 in Aces High is a taxiing replica. Something tells me it’s at Brooklands now.

    The 504 was indeed only a taxiable rep, it also appeared in the BBC series Wings. Nice side veiw of the Tiger DVII but me thinks the colour is wrong?

    Whilst on the subject of WW1 aircraft replicas, does anyone know what happened to the full size SE5a serial F943 that was seen at Sywell in 1977, in a part constructed wingless condition.

    wasnt that refusal to issue a permit to fly lifted after the modifications to the design were made, just that know one wanted to build one anymore! newer versions of the design have been flying very succesfully in France for years.

    According to Andrew King who did some of the flying for the film its due out July/august next year. A preview trailer was shown at Canne this year. There was a small clip on Film 2005 a couple of weeks ago, looked ok to me.

    David, working out an average is a very sensible idea, but as Mark V says planner are not always sensible and usually not Aviation minded either! In there eyes the fact that the Airfield had very little going on for a number of years make the situation worse because the increase now looks greater when infact it probably is not. Mark V is right when he says that you have to think like them and fight with there rules. Not right or sensible but an unfortunate fact of life these days.

    Mark V’s post is correct in that you have to read the document very carefully to be able to fight it to the best possible effect. The fact that the Red Arrows were based there has no bearing on the use now! i quote” Flying activity has now materialy increased and has in its self resulted in a change of use. consiqently, planning permision is required in respect of aviation related activities”
    Jumping up and down and shouting”But the Red Arrows use to be based here” will not get the planning permision granted. A well structured report of the current flying activities and noise abatement procedure is whats needed. We need to help ourselves and not give them any room to shut ANY airfields or restrict there use.
