Anyone know if the pre-ordered DVD’s are due to drop through the door soon? Very much looking forward to seeing it!!

This was the formation flight from Duxford to Yorkshire.!

Why were they going to Yorkshire?

That’s done it! Pre-ordered!

No no, we have a picnic table outside or one upstairs for that, we are slightly civilised in Norfolk…. :p

Well that’s just typical of you southern jessies – must be all that flat beer you sup!! 😉

Personally, if I was fortunate to own my own ‘static’ airframe and over time managed to get the engines running, then discovered that there was a distinct possibility it could be made airworthy again, I can’t imagine why, funds willing, I wouldn’t make it airworthy. It seems to be the next logical step to take. The owners must get asked all the time if the Lanc’ can fly – I’d love to be there on the day that they say ‘yes, it can!’

I wish them well and hope that this aircraft, if it makes it to the air, will still be flying if, or when, the RAF decide that they can no longer justify supporting the BBMF.

Like many here, Rapide, Duxford. So Good I went up again on my next visit.

Davski – Mustang 😎 some people have all the luck.

Yes – I was bricking it though!! Rod Dean was the aircraft’s pilot, he and Nicola Rennie (who took care of Spencer Flack’s aircraft display logistics) looked after me very well (Nicola had flown up from Leavesden in the Mustang with Rod that morning – wow!!). “Sunny VIII” was of course destroyed in an accident in the US some years later. The sad thing about your first flight being in something like a Mustang is that most of what I have flown in since has been comparatively dull (although happily I have managed to get a Mustang fix or two since then!)!!

Yes, yes – more Ryans to the people! 🙂

And another on it’s way to the UK.
