A Shuttleworth evening airshow in a nutshell (or a thread!) Very nice.

I do find it sad that we can only see ‘official coverage’ of BBMF photos via Facebook or Twitter. The restoration of ‘Just Jane’ at East Kirby has been covered on here and on You tube. They unlike the BBMF are not funded by the taxpayer. The BBMF Facebook page used to be open access but not now. The RAF website is rarely updated now.

It did get used as a supersonic ‘target’ a few times I believe. The RAF used several training flights to practice intercepting high speed intruders.

A 109 in combat over Northern Ireland? Did it make it back to France?
I have always read that 10 minutes combat over S E England and they had to go back.

Presumably ‘Rhubarb’ managed to find a big enough saucer for the roundel transfers? 🙂

I have read many times of pilots complaining of having to send their licences to the CAA for checking/renewal and having to wait for weeks. Didn’t he have to send his in to be checked? If so the forgeries must have been good or not checked?

I see they are looking for door wheels and rails for a Bellman or T2 type hangar.

Before this thread is archived I would like to thank all those (especially the regulars) who braved the wind, rain and sunshine to report back on the comings and goings in the air and on the ground.
Happy new year.
