Agreed! Neil Williams might have been called a ‘natural’ but it didnt stop him flying into a mountain did it?!

Not funny 😡

Air Atlantique Historic Flight – add an airworthy Hunter and the Sea Vixen and they have it all.

Delta Jets – probably my favourite group.

The Hunter Flying Club + Hawker Hunter Aviation – Great collections

ThunderCity – very friendly and helpfull, the engineers actually ask if there’s any questions you wish to ask them while your there.

So you’re saying that if a museum aircraft has no interior, that makes it okay to paint it in false colours???….hmm, okay tomorrow we’ll paint the F-100 pink to ‘please the lady visitors’, as there is no engine in that??? :diablo:

Nice, there could be some mileage in that. Sales of F100 kits to the ladies might shoot up, maybe a compact and some Super Sabre cosmetics. 😀

If anybody doesn’t want one of there Hunters and wants to give it away I’ll have it!

I really dont think it matters what the service life of an exhibit like this is as long as its painted in an accurate scheme of one of its contemporaries. If no Black Arrow Hunters had been preserved is it right that all future generations be robbed of the opertunity to see a Hunter for real in this scheme just because the perticular aircraft had a more mundane service life?

At the end of the day whoever owns it can paint it how they like. 🙂

You dont even need statistics to prove that with the current increasing population levels, there will be be more deaths simply because there will be more people driving !. More people driving = greater chance of a prang, its inevitable.

Only if the poor standard of driving in this country stays the same! Far to many people who dont pay attention and far to many ‘bold’ drivers. You know the old saying. ‘ There are many bold pilots and there are many old pilots, but there arn’t many old bold pilots ‘. The same could be said for driving, although luckily for a lot of the idiots on the road there seems to be far more margin for error on the roads.

As for speed camera’s, if you ain’t breakin the law – you don’t need to worry about them.

I’d heard it was to be spares recovered for the Martin Baker Meatboxes?

Happy New Year to everyone. I would like to get more involved with aircraft this year. I hope to help out at the De Havilland Aircraft Heritage Centre this year but if anybody needs any help with anything else aviation this year let me know, I ain’t the most technically minded but I never complain about getting dirty or doing hard work. All the best to everyone. 🙂

😉 I don’t believe anything Cambs council or other officials tell me,after all they want me to believe a mega expensive guided bus route alongside the A14 is a good idea and will be well used :rolleyes:
As i assume nothing regarding Marshalls has been decided one way or another i would’nt be surprised if they built it next to Madingly War memorial,or some other inappropriate place. 😉

Or that spending millions on a couple of ‘poncey’ bridges – one over the A14, the other over the river – is good value for many when you’re standed bridge could have been done for much, much less. Glad I pay Suffolk Council Tax know! 😀 – Sorry O/T.

Hasn’t there been some comment on the effects of having the Red Devils practising on the airfield, what with the amount of props spinning during the summer and traffic from Stansted directly above. 😮
