Yup. Precisely. I love P51’s (especially the B). Like Alexis, Moose was the beginning of all of this for me. Half of what I was saying in the other thread would be clear when read within the context of other current and older threads. The problem is, this is an ugly Mustang. It looks warped. There are plenty of really nice P51D’s out there, we had an A36 at Legends last year, and Princess Elisabeth, when It flies, Is going to really be something to see. There are plenty of Mustangs on the UK scene without one like that. Get something else. Another P47 would be great for example.

And no, I can’t look at the Grace Spitfire in the same way as I look at BM597 (for example). Same with the B25 they modified as a camera ship.

Hohoho. And so it goes on.

Please do put shackles through my mainspar and hang me – hanging things being a subject being discussed elsewhere in yet more threads. Irony is clearly beyond our new friends. Oh well. And yes, I would turn down Mr Friedkin – unless it was a flight as camera platform to photograph a proper warbird.

As Droptank so astutely observed, I’m not allowed out on my own. It’s so terrible, I am such a no-hoper that I would get terribly lost and end up asking the control tower to put out a call for my mummy. Fortunately they keep me safe from harm.

And it’s true, we are all ‘dull assuming’ ‘old boys’. We should feel ourselves fortunate to have some younger members to stop us being so boring. And to protect the reputation of those who bring us new things to see at Duxford. Clearly having a direct line to TFC through Digby is a major advantage. He was so right about the P38 after all. You proved us all wrong there, didn’t you old chap. I most definately fall into the clueless category.

Ok Chris, i won’t hang anything. Just myself. And on the plus side, it is better than a Skyraider, and less smelly.

Now, whats this about a media badge trick? You haven’t answered that yet Digby. I am intrigued.

Whats so great about a TF51 anyway? Looks crap to me. Stick it on a pole I say.

Just trying to avoid using punctuation to make it read better I wish they had a Typhoon I went past Duxford yesterday and for the first time in my life i didnt see any aircraft what a shame

LMAO. Those volunteers go on grammatically thankfully and are punctuationally adept as well cant wait to see the new scheme on the spit
