    Clarkson gets away with it because money talks.

    That’s his part, Alan. It’s an entertainment programme in which the three presenters act out charicatures of themselves for the viewers .

    I still think that James May comes over better when doing his own programmes. Hammond acts like a kid, no matter what
    he is doing. The only thing Clarkson did which was any good, was the series on winners of the VC.

    Carvair without a doubt. I too grew up in Southend with them constantly droning over my back garden and used to regularly go to the viewing deck at the airport terminal to watch the comings and goings and see if CF-EPV had moved in the direction of airworthiness. Sadly that never happened and before long the survivors shed their paint and acquired Falcon Aiways titles and were gone. Happy days and yes Bomberfilght, I was at that display too 😮

    I was there too, complete with radio and log book, on the waving off platform and the airshow.

    A rarely watch the programme, but on the odd occasion I have, James May seems to stand out as the only
    one with a bit of common sense.

    Hi All,
    Serenity – A enjoyable Sci-Fi yarn. A few minor celebs recognisable from their later Tv appearences. :eagerness:

    Geoff.

    I started to watch this earlier this evening. I watched the first half hour, then lost interest. 🙁

    My wife and I sat in a Jet provost at Cosford, if that counts.

    Also sat in a Lightning and Phantom, as an ATC cadet at RAF Bruggen.

    Spotting advice is hardly the province of FlyPast.

    Oh I don’t know ? The two are not totally unconnected, apart from the commercial aircraft side.

    Lovely weather today, and the wind has dropped.

    Should be plenty of pictures later.

    ………..>>The truth of the matter, for many people, is that putting a cross in a box every five years (and moaning about the government) is about as much effort as they can be bothered to make towards solving whatever problems they have.

    What else would you suggest people do ?
