Looks like it turned out to be a good day, shame we unfortunately couldnt make it with the BE2:(
Missed seeing the project Tiger Moth. The price seems about right for it and I would have thought that a complete static similar to the Croydon one would be £10-15K even with no engine.
Bearing the estimate for a FSM Spitfire going for auction is £50K

They did an excellent job, though hindered (?) by aircraft landing immediately after the crash. Then again, the crash crew do have three minutes to reach the crash scheme.
I wonder if the tow rope snapped?
The A/C “Hindering” as you wrongly coment is in fact the teams Pawnee that is the tug A/C.
Im sure the pilot of that was also shaken by the incident.
Hopefully we wont decend into arm chair experts that do not know the facts of the incident spouting a load of rubbish. Can we please leave in to the AAIB to investigate and be thankfull that they are not investigating a much worse incident. I for one wish Mike a full and speedy recovery.
And the point of the post was:confused:
Arh, thanks Andy, wasnt it in Dutch Colours?

More sad news for the Red Bull Air Races. That You Tube clip brings tears to my eye’s as you see him playing with model aeroplanes with his children 🙁
Brings back happy and sad memories. As always he died doing what he loved but its those that are left behind:(
Blue Skies Sir and thoughts ae with your family. RIP
Sadly more bad news from the Red Bull Air Race……
A top bloke apparently. RIP.
August 8, 2010 – Red Bull Air Race Technical Director Adrian Judd, a driving force behind the sport for the last five years, has died at the age of 44 from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident in Germany. A man widely respected and deeply admired by pilots and crew alike and known for his commitment to the sport, Judd is survived by his wife Sharon and three daughters.
A down to earth man with a vibrant sense of humor from Buckinghamshire in Britain, Judd was the final authority on whether an aircraft complied to Red Bull Air Race rules and regulations.
He was the epitome of fairness and worked tirelessly, and without compromise, to ensure the sport developed in a positive direction, and fairly for all pilots regardless of their position in the championship. A pilot himself, Judd’s knowledge was instrumental in ensuring the planes were in the best shape possible.
A great guy who will be sadly missed:( many happy memories of some good times, an incident in Al Ain with a swiming pool and a slide will live with me forever!! Thoughts are with his wife Sharon and daughters at this terrible time. 🙁
Blue skies mate and i’ll keep the dancing going just for you.
Then they should have had me there then!!!!! :diablo:
