    A classic quote

    I was looking at the rain leaking through the dining room ceiling last sunday. See what a Bourgeois lifestyle we DJ’s lead, we have a roof

    Always a dry wit to the point of being arrid and an eclectic taste in music, he will be sadly missed. My condolences to his family and friends.

    As an aside, on his frequent journeys to his home in Suffolk from London, he would go many miles out of his way to avoid driving through Essex. Did he know something we dont?

    Beech Starship

    IIRC Beech ahave tried to buy back all the Starships to scrap them. However there is one enlightened chap who really likes his and isnt selling. He paid a visit to Burt Rutans company a few months ago and they worshiped him like a god!! They never wanted it grounded and have told him that if it needs work doing on her they’ll do it.

    SR-71, to quote the vernacular, you are avin a larf mate. The USAF barely kept her in the air so what chance a civillian organisation. (same could be said for Bureaufighter)

    All that said the Collings Foundation are operating an F-4D so there is hope.

    Ok so G-BOAA did not get the mods that other Concord’s got but it was certainly kept in an airworthy condition so would it have been possible to apply for a one off ferry flight permit ?

    No it wasnt (it was used as Chrismas Tree to get others flying) so no it wouldnt. And in any case where would you fly her to? EF doesnt have enough runway so Glasgow or Edinburgh then, and what do you have to do to get her to EF….that’ll be cut the wings off then 🙁

    Well I fully support them in their noble aim, it is a national disgrace that one wasnt kept flying and it is entirely feasable that one could be flown and maintained by amateurs, I mean its just like a Tiger Moth but a bit more complex… easy really cant see what the fuss is all about.

    (Yes this is a futile desperate attempt to get nominated for the nutters thread in General Discussion :))
