The Ju52 scene was the in the last episode I think when Moggy & “Amanda” shot it down.

It was masquerading as a Red Cross plane picking up a downed German pilot if I recall correctly.

Daz, regarding the CD, no probs. Just gotto get to grips wiht the thought of cleaning all the slides up!

Mike, it is indeed sad looking at the number of pilots involved in filming who are no longer with us. 🙁

Some More!

Here’s a couple more of NH238 landing:

I think it may have been the late great Mark Hanna at the controls.

I have quite a few my Dad took at the Duxford 88 Spitfire show.

Plenty of PoC Spits & Buchons! 😀

If I remember rightly we went on a double decker bus ride along the flightline which meant he got some good photo’s from the top deck.

One photo that springs to mind is of George Ellis taxying in the Shuttleworth Spit V and looking straight at the camera! Looked like it had all been planned!

I’ll hunt out the slides and have a crack at scanning them.

My original plan was to scan all his slides and put them onto CD-R so this will be a good start!

Btw, interesting to see one of the replicas getting some juice!

Well, I’m glad you’re clearer as regards to Stephen Grey’s accent and that you are enjoying your video!

I bought mine about three years ago or more and I must say I was quite dissapointed with it.

I had already got the Spitfire one and enjoyed it very much. However it seems that the original makers (Battlebase) must have gone bust or something as the Hurricane one was made by Duke themselves from the materiall shot by them.

I thought it was badly edited and lacked polish when compared to the Spitfire video. And I thought that the music they played during Steven Grey’s aerobatic sequence spoiled it somewhat. I think the sound of the Merlin would have been better!

Basically I think it could have been done better.

However I did enjoy Steven Grey’s talk about how he got the aircraft and his cockpit breifing.

Despite my comments, I’d say it’s still worth having in your collection especially with the new price tag of £4.99!

From all I have read on this wonderful aircraft, it does indeed have a bit of a reputation mainly has a great trainer but also because of the following points:

1)It has a tendency to ‘Flick’ Out Of A Tight Turn

2)Can be a handful on the ground – i’e will groundloop if provoked

3)It does run out of steam quickly during aerobatics.

I assume this is were the ‘Sack Of Spuds’ thing comes into play!

Also it appears that it has quite heavy controls as well.

I was reading a Pilot report on the web about flying the Spitfire ( it was the South African high back IX which crashed in 2000, can’t remember the serial, TE2??) and he talked about the lightness of the Spitfires controls and remarked that he had done some aero’s in a Harvard a few weeks before and his arms ached for several days after!

I think the ‘Pilot Maker’ just about sums up how people regard this plane.

Btw, I did find an article on the web about flying the T6.

When I find it, I’ll post the link.

Corsair,

Looks like Damien has what you need.

However here is the link to my Legends pictures post on Avi8 with the aerial shots:

I do believe it was actually 1986.

I have the BBC program of it on tape somewhere.
