    I was talking to someone on Saturday night, who says he was flying the last plane out of Manston.
    The wider implication of the airport closing, is that it leaves the channel without any radar coverage.

    Lets hope that someone is listening to the council.

    Plans at the moment are for the BBMF+1 to operate out of Southend, for both the Clacton and Eastbourne airshows.

    Same goes for the Red Arrows, who would have usually operated out of Manston.

    Whoopeeee……

    Robert Mitchum in a film I think was called ” RETURN to FAIRBOROUGH” they used Gary Numans Harvard G-AZSC.

    Reunion At Fairborough

    That was on again yesterday. Nice flying sequences at the end, with the Harvard and the two Hunters.

    What was the identity of the Hunters, and are they still around ?

    Hunter One Team, or Hunter Team One.

    Quote……“None of these points are UKIP policy nor have they ever been, he has simply taken the odd policy and interjected lefty paranoia rubbish, to debase the whole thing one simply has to show any one is wholly inaccurate, at that point it becomes more free publicity”

    As said before, the more that the Media and the leaders of other parties try to rubbish UKIP, the more support they get.
    There will be a lot more mud slinging before the European elections.
    UKIP detractors need to make sure they stand the correct side of the fan before throwing.

    Out of interest, I wonder what the scrap value is ?

    Actually, there are two “nice” white van men – I am the other one. 😉

    My other car is a white van 😀

    The Kaman Husky comes to mind, for the first question.

    Much ado about nothing.

    It only seems to be the media making a fuss about it……………… As usual 😡

    I’ve had the same thing a few times lately. I had deleted Flash Player, due to a couple of other minor problems on my PC.
    It seems quite a number of applications need it.
    Someone sent me one of those “poxy” Jaquie Lawson eCards, and that wouldn’t run without Flash Player.
    I have now downloaded the latest version.

    I have a hands free kit on my amateur radio transceiver, and only need to flick a switch to talk.
    It’s no more distracting than talking to a passenger. I don’t use my phone when driving though.

    Hi All,
    Does anybody know if the ‘Lancaster’s’ will link up with Sally ‘B’ at any show’s ? Would be a fantastic formation.

    Geoff.

    I was thinking more in terms of an “Avro” formation. The Vulcan with a Lancaster on either side.
    That would definitely be a once in a lifetime photo opportunity. Or something with the Red Arrows.
    I suppose it would depend on how well the Canadian crew are trained in formation flying ?

    I do hope that everything goes well, and that they have a safe trip over here and back.

    I asked in the other thread. I don’t think it does mention Duxford. Wishful thinking…….?;)

    It’s only the August dates listed so far.
