Unlikely, pretty sure I haven’t seen either of the Hammond Mustangs at Duxford, never mind Legends.
I’m happy to wait until next week.

“Legends proved that you don’t need a polished display routine to entertain – just get five or six Mustangs in the air, beat up the airfield with some low passes and watch the grins on the faces in the crowd. Special mention must go to Maurice Hammond and Robs Lamplough who, in ‘Janie’ and ‘Big Beautiful Doll’ respectively, kept the crowd at the western end thoroughly entertained in fine ‘beat ’em up’ style. Top marks!”

I’ve had the most fun with aeroplanes at Breighton, or away from base with the Breighton crowd, and often that has included the appearance of Taff screaming past in the Mew Gull and giving chase to some other, equally delightful, aircraft. Oddest sight was the Mew Gull sharing ramp space with a Saab Draken at Reno! Is the Tipsy Trainer yours? Beautiful machine, we occasionally get a Belfair pay us a visit up here but haven’t seen a Trainer.

Sorry for meandering off topic!

Taff is much more than G-AEXF’s pilot. He is also the aeroplane’s owner!

Rob Fleming may well disagree with you there Low ‘n’ slow!

We plan to begin flight testing the Glasair next month which should be fun.

Taff Smith’s Cape Record assault

Sorry to resurrect this thread but I thought some of you might be interested to know that Taff Smith is hoping to set a new record for solo flight to the Cape and back this September/October. Interesting for many I guess because he’s G-AEXF’s current display pilot, that’s ‘Alex Henshaw’s Mew Gull’ for those who don’t ‘do’ numbers! Taff has a little website at http://www.thecaperun.co.uk/ for those wishing to know more.

Can’t understand why this isn’t getting more coverage… Chalkie is now on his way back to South Africa, refuelling in Algiers. Go Chalkie – good luck!!

Thanks for that BB! My ‘Auto’ is only as good as yours 😀

Yes, first warbird appearance of the season is always special, and lovely to see the full BBMF trio (just the fighters last time I headed over to Pollington). Not sure where the memorial garden is so camped on the grass verge on Snaith Road with a couple of dozen others including Ben (hope Mr Neighbourhood Watch didn’t lose you a lift home, Ben!).

Anyway, pic attached for evidential purposes only, shooting into the sun for the most part (static props and all!).
