For the people that can’t understand why we sold her for one that’s not yet assembled and flying let’s just remind ourselves that our friends across the pond have the exact same situation. NGNG is hopefully over in Chino now… in a crate. “Little Demon” is out of the crate and under restoration I would imagine.
Everyone wants it to be put together as fast as a LEGO kit but we don’t want anything going wrong. More haste less speed (although haste means to do something quickly so the phrase seems to cancel itself out). We can’t rebuild it like a LEGO kit if something, God forbid, goes wrong.
We have plenty of planes out there to watch while we wait for it’s debut. Consider it a cracking support band at gig.
When you say ‘we’, are you speaking on behalf of TFC?
Is there anyone still on the volunteer crew from ’91 & earlier? I don’t reconise a single face there.
Yes, however the photograph is of some of the full time engineering staff. If you look closely you’ll see a couple of volunteers from that time who went over to the dark side and became full time.
I was flying at Henlow yesterday, no camera, but just a poor quality mobile phone shot of the event. There were a number of others around with cameras so I’m sure a good photograph will appear somewhere. Stu Goldspink at the controls.
Randall Wallace wrote Pearl Harbor, along with another “historical” drama directed by a short-**** Aussie Yank playing a Scot. I seem to recall that movie being fantastically historically accurate, too! :rolleyes:
Only if you consider having characters who never actually met, or existed in the same time period combined with a complete distortion of facts, accents, dress, locations and events to be inaccurate. 😀
What exactly is different about these forecasts from the ones I can get for free from the Met Office Aviation web site, apart from the price? I haven’t actually had a look but would like to hear from those that have.
Maybe a good time to mention that Friends of TFC will have their enclosure as usual this year at Legends and as you will see from the latest news update on TFC website, we will be in very good company. Join up and get the flightline walk for free!!
Hopefully the same ones as everyone else in the airspace they are flying :diablo: Don’t know if they have a private channel, one chap who would know doesn’t post here anymore.
