    Yes, lets all hope everything goes according to plan, with no major incidents.

    As the prop was still turning on touchdown, will that mean an engine strip down ?
    Or can they do a shock load test ?

    When ever I see a RNHF Sea Fury, I can’t help but remember an episode of ITV’s “Treasure Hunt”

    Annabel Croft was in the Helicopter, when a Sea Fury flew alongside. Oooh she shouted excitedly, ” A Sea Furry “

    Works on my samsung phone.
    Just to state the obvious, dont forget to
    Allow for the time difference.

    Would this also apply to aircraft depicted pre 1918 ?
    As the RFC also used the Roundel. How about Fleet Air Arm aircraft ?

    Or if it’s an MOD directive rather than the RAF, is it all encompassing ?

    It all seems rather pathetic to me.

    You can’t compare the service life of a military combat aircraft, to that of a civilian airliner.
    Rather like comparing an F1 car, to that of a family saloon.

    (just to state the obvious, I know)

    I just hope they get a good home, indoors preferably.

    I wonder if the Harrier might go to the US, to be flown privately ?

    Bottle or more of red wine
    Bacon (as much as you want)
    Pasta (any shape)
    Onion
    Tinned tomato
    Oregano

    Moggy

    Sounds like an old Keith Floydd recipe. Regarding the wine that is 🙂

    I agree about the Omelette option previously mentioned. Very quick to make.

    I haven’t been since 2009, I don’t remember it being crowded then. Maybe being newly re-opened attracted a lot of people.
    Best wait until the kids go back to school, perhaps ?

    I was trying to find out, how many active airfields there are in the UK.

    There are various listings, but most include military airfields (open and closed), and many closed civilian
    airfields. Either way, there’s an enormous number of airfields still in use around the country.
    How many can the GA fraternity support, irrespective of their past histories ?

    Lovely picture.

    I still fail to understand how anyone can be bored with seeing the Vulcan fly.

    Who actually owns the airfield ?

    Just watched “Edge of Tomorrow”, not too bad.

    A bit like Universal Soldier meets GroundHog Day 🙂
