Most incidents reach the internet eventually just as this one has, will be interesting to see the report when published.
Aside from ebay the advice on the link is applicable to all sales,

Farnborough is prmarily a trade show and the public displays are an afterthought. There was a time when apart from RAF Bof B at home days there were few other big displays.For the enthusiast Farnborough is not worth the cost IMHO, far better to travel to Paris for the new items and IAT for exotic aircraft. The main reason Fboro attracts the public is massive advertising and a large catchment area. there is also a growing trend for aerospace trade shows across the world which attract better prospects for sales.
Interesting summary of the story so far regarding the film and what is likely the most recent comment from the producer mid 2015

Thanks Beermat,had not realised that. Well said Malcolm.
Just ask a question of the seller and its there for all to see. Let the buyer beware is well known,surely ?
Makes a lot of sense to restrict their type of display in built up areas, just not worth the risk of a crash .
yes,fly bys only.
How about the comments being directly added to the item for sale questions ..answers section on ebay? That puts the seller on the spot and no one will miss reading the info?
Not the death of the airshow , a review of rules and tightening up of existing ones. I have seen several accidents at shows which were avoidable and also several near misses where lives were nearly lost. Operating at low level and in some cases flying close to the edge of control increases risk. It will take time for aircrew and organisers to settle in to the changes and there is nothing to stop further reviews if flying has been in some cases been made riskier as claimed by some aircrew.Meanwhile most of the public will still attend.
Thank you for the link, neat to see Peter, happy memories of meeting you a few times and reading you articles in AAA mag where I penned some words monthly….. Gary B.
In life people appreciate fair play and when they suspect worthy people have been overlooked in favour of well publicised others they get upset. if you run a small business then this is so common it really is not unusual and it is called competition and there are many times when contracts are awarded to the big players despite due diligigence not being seen to be done. Annoying but thats life.
Among the replicas was Grasshopper Glider!
There are plenty of very dramatic aspects to the evacuation for the screenplay to delve into,no need for special inserts to include many nations.The sacrifice of the rearguard action,civvy small boat crews, and who knows what else can be included to make the re telling very personal and emotive. And the start of a long period of captivity for some of the BEF.
It is going to be very interesting to see how this film turns out and like some other posters I am impressed that the director has chosen live action against CGI.
