    And the point I was making, if you bother to read, is that G-INFO may not be up to date or accurate at the time of the post.

    Very true, im not sure when and how often it is updated.
    Lets just hope things all get sorted 🙂

    Bruce,
    All i did was point out that at the moment most of TFCs fleet have had their permit suspended. I hope Stephen Grey can resolve these issues and they can fly at Legends.

    All it takes is a quick look at G-INFO

    Morning folks,
    A quick june update.

    Matt and mark both performed great displays at margate last saturday and sunday in front of a decent size crowd for a “smaller” show.

    Mark also took the vampire for a second flight on the sunday and 3 flights on the monday with some L-39 pilots from germany who loved the experience of a 1950’s british trainer.
    And one does have a surprise in store 😉

    Anyway 507 is in the hangar having a nose-wheel replacement as we cant get any more landings out of the current one

    Forth coming displays: 507 is off to Prague this friday and due back on monday to do a display. Sadly my passport is out of date 🙁 so i cant come along for the ride.

    Also a bit more relevant for the uk airshow goer. 507 will be off to waddington on friday and come back either late sunday or early monday, and i have been told that she is flying. I am staying with mark saturday/sunday and monday so do come and say hello

    Thats all for now folks, dont forget the photographic competition 😀

    Cheers
