    Thats good to hear Tony, sorry was only going on what was mentioned when I was out there last a couple of years ago, I think there was a mag issue then.

    Interesting that the RE8 and the DVa are also on the list, speaking to someone from the RAFM yesterday I was told that after the display yesterday they would fly no more, interesting.

    I know what you mean, I recently watched the whole series again after not seeing it for many years. My wife who had never seen it before was instantly hooked as well.

    Hi Black Night, no they were not fliers. All the flying was done with R/C Models. All the Replica’s apart from the demoisel were built by my Uncle with the help of others that worked for him. The Demoisel was built by a chap called Andrew Newickie and purcased for the series. “Emma” was totaly out of Uncle Davids imagination!! We also built the R/c Models for the series as well and as a kid I spent one happy summer school holiday on the set in Yorkshire.
    The Blackburn Mercury still exists and is at Elvington, as for the other I dont know but would love to know if they are still about. After they were removed from “Flambards” village they disappeared!!

    The last U.K owner of the Mosquito was the Strathallen Collection and I recall no problems with access or the warmth of welcome at the collection .

    I think the reference was to Doug Arnold.
