I offered them £3k for one of those Seahawks (in 2000), and to crane it out of the compound myself after removing all items that might be needed to support the flyer; I’m sure they’ve done better than that.

Yes, the culprit is the media and not one or other school of history. Take it from me as someone who works with the gentlemen of the press that we should expect little more. I can tell you now, if ye seek the truth don’t bother looking in TV documentaries, however scholarly and reliable they may seem.

Can I suggest James and Stuart settle any remaining differences like gentlemen, I think the BBMF can provide the weapons – Night Reaper for JDK and a Vb for Stuart. Place your bets…

Learning to behave as a gentleman may take me a while yet, as supposidly thats what I’ve been trying to do for the last 45 years…we have agreed ,essentially to disagree, and for my part I have learned a hard lesson, that being, don’t argue with someone who types with more than one finger!!

Slightly disturbingly it is fitted with port and stbd nav lights,have they encountered problems with down force?

It’s not a soapbox its a bannana skin and the above comments (by me) were also tongue in cheek (in part) ;I don’t use smilies ,and as a result run the risk of misinterpretation, but hell live dangerously I say!

If the proposed eco taxes are as punitive as it seems they will be, then that will stop the b*gger flying, along with all the other “gas guzzlers”, and we will all be queing up to see Melvin’s Beaver (!), and Moggy’s Piper, and I’ll be late, coz I won’t be able to afford to drive my hugely uneconomical “common rail direct injection” 4×4 ,and you can’t ride a push bike up the M11.

You’ll be lucky, with people allready whineing about the cost of getting in to certain airshows!! and what if you wont pay the supplement??? will you be blindfolded and forced to wear ear diffenders durring the Vulcan display :diablo: As with anything to do with the Vulcan flying again, totaly unrealistic :rolleyes:

Although, an airshow might finish at its scheduled time, those without a “Vulcan pass” would leave as per the norm, then after a suitable time to allow most of the visitors to leave, the Vulc would roll in (no pun intended), perform its display to the select few, and off into the sunset.

This wouldn’t cost the organisers anymore to set up, as all volunteers would still be in place fire crews etc, and those who had left would have had a full display for their money; the “Vulan pass” would be a prepaid arrangement, and if the minium no. required were not sold, the A/C would be cancelled, and moneys returned.

I don’t think that this is the way forward, and certainly the A/C wouldn’t reach it’s target audience, but it is at least a part solution .

BUY IT NOW, ITS ONLY £100 !! ………..er that you lose; I’ve seen stuff advertised by “fighterace” before, everthing seemed on the level.

Sorry I’m lost, does that mean uncut as in uncensored, or uncut as in victoria sponge entire? Delia…..Delia?

It is definately Spitfire, in fact I think I can just make out the initials DB scratched into the seat back,and the damage on the port side, is consistant with tin leg impact , as the struggling pilot finally frees his trapped leg from underneath the rudder pedal.

seriously though, having made one from the drawings the support channel underneath, is not right, and there is nowhere to attach the seat frame mounts.
