Yes it is

This was once based at Breighton, the then owner also used to have a Chipmunk and could often be seen taking his young ‘un aloft in either – ah to have such parentage!

Seeing a jet flypast with open canopy is a first for me!
Great vid’ as always – thanks.

Of course no airfield’s future can be assured but RAF Church Fenton is fit for purpose and I can’t see its role changing while the current training system continues – I also don’t see a problem with ‘bussing’ personnel over from Linton, afterall, most of us commute to work in one way or another in civvie street.

I applaud anyone who holds a light for their own local airbase/airfield. I hope Scampton remains in RAF hands, with or without the Reds, simply because I am an aviation enthusiast and I’d rather see an airfield than an eco-town or huge housing estate.

Crashed at Duxford, did it not? G-INFO lists it as “destroyed”, anyway.

It did crash at Duxford – it was surveyed with the possibility of returning to Yorkshire as Breighton’s gate guard but an L-29 was chosen instead.

I personally like the civvie schemes and yes Ben, Reno is the best place in the world to see some amazing examples of custom paint jobs on warbird aircraft – get saving!

I read on one of the other forums that the Vulcan will depart Farnborough on Saturday afternoon so there’s another opportunity to see it Oz!

Don’t use your own concept of liberty, as a template for others. An infringement that you don’t feel, might be felt by others, or might set a precedence for further infringements.

Im not an advocate for carnage videos, but Im an advocate of online freedom.

There is a chance, when watching something unspecified, that you will be shocked and appalled. If you are unable to accept that, you should not watch unspecified material.

We simply can’t label everything according to some percieved level of public offence.

Some online communities have used the tag NSFW (Not Safe For Work), when a post might contain something, that might get people into trouble at work. Maybe those with Youtube problems, should ask Youtube to include such a tag on the video clips. That means that you, the viewer, can label something “unsafe”, so that others like yourself can avoid the content.

However, thats a voluntary and no guarantee you will not be offended.

Good points but censorship is a whole new can or worms. For instance, if I use the following words on this forum: ****, ****, ********, **** – there is a very good chance that they’ll be censored yet I can hear them on any football terrace, high street, or movie (I apologise if they’re not censored!). Would you consider this a correct use of censorship simply because this kind of language is likely to cause offence?

The subject of seeing fatal airshow crashes in the public domain for the purpose of entertainment is completely disrespectful to the pilot and my concern is that on a forum that is populated by many airshow ‘consumers’ we’re debating whether it’s right or wrong to see our friends killed over and over again in the name of entertainment.

I ordered mine ages ago too via Paypal and it arrived last Saturday – it’s brilliant!
