Hurricane in Russian markings would be sweet and different.

Speaking about the weather, quite lucky with that Legends weekend eh?

Well thanks to the wit of our parents generation, that’s what it means. I tend to agree that it doesn’t need constant iteration though–we all get it.
However, unless you currently live in the outer Hebrides or share a hut with tribesmen in the Amazonian basin, then I might suggest that it isn’t anything your average teenager hasn’t been exposed to (and worse) in what passes itself as ‘culture’ in the modern World.

And, history is history. Why cover history up? Are we THAT touchy these days?

A couple of years ago he was talking about how to land warbirds and he said something like “and then flaps out….wheels nearly touching…and you’re thinking – please don’t let me ******* up”.

Everyone laughed, I laughed and I thought the French guy was great for a few moments. He just went with what he thought and what it’s like.

My first year of his chitter chat, and all I said was at least he could of said something interesting over the MK1s then, not go on and on and on and on and on.
Yes I did learn things from him and it was a passing comment, I would still prefer to not hear it.
Your correct I should go up by the M11 and save £69.00 but I like to support with my money not sit in a field for freebie which i could easily do

Not what I meant, sorry if it was unclear. You can’t hear much up at that the M11 side, but yet inside the airfield. I was at the Tank Bank and didn’t hear a thing they said the entire weekend. The “problem” can be easily avoided. I have no idea what he said or did not say because truth to be told, I did not hear him at all.

One of the things that surprised me the most are the negative comments on the tempo of this years show.

I thought it was absolute spot on based on last years incident, and long may they continue this marginal slower tempo style as I absolutely loved it.

I also feel Mr. Chabbert gets a lot of abuse for no good reason. My friend kept going on and on about him and how horrible he was up until a point I was so fed up with his moaning about Bernard Chabbert than I was close to simply backing Mr. Chabbert up 100%. He may ramble on at times (and most funny thing is how everyone says after every year; “I thought he moderated himself this year….) but maybe, if you stopped being so negative for a second you would actually learn a few things about aviation from him; pilots of the past and the history of these warbirds that you did not know. I learned several things I did not know this year.

His famous “space alien” talk of 2007 or 2008 stands out though as over the top, althought I found it extremely funny instead of taking everything so serious. Want to listen to the engines? Go to towards the M11, you won’t hear a bloody thing from Bernard.

Perhaps the Yaks, but I still don’t think it’s a good idea.

It just did not seem to flow like it has in previous years. To be fair I was a little disappointed in the flying program but I’m sure there was a good reason why it was like that.

Odd, as I have been there every year since 2005 and I though it flowed much better than before, and much much better than last year.

You complain about the flying programe and you get, for the first time since most of us were even born three Mk 1’s Spitfires flying in formation. I’m sorry, I just can’t stuff like this serious.

Where I come from we’re lucky to see one Spitfire flying. Maybe a P-51 if they bother to drag it all the way from Sweden. At Legends I got nine Spitfires including three Mk 1’s. Hows that for disappointment? A brand new P-47 Thunderbolt as well.

And lessons learned from last year, and past years of numerous of complains online about the pacing being too quick and dangerous they slowed it a marginal minute down and then people complain about that as well? LOL!

If anything, one can point the finger to the amount of zero Hurricanes and only three P-51 Mustangs. Naturally almost, as one of them crashed last year and the owners of that piece of tangled piece of mess was not able to repair it in time. Sadly, the Swedish P-51 Old Crow did not come. Maybe something tech. We don’t know. These aircraft have to be handled with so much care and money that complaining about some not being there is almost an insult to the operators. They do what they can, when it doesn’t happen, it’s not their fault.

Legends delivered, as it always delivered and from my opinion, Legends delivered better than last year.
