I’ve got one that says “kick me”; I think thats close enough…

Not wishing to mis quote mr Hunston, but; ” the government of Yukon owns that plane, we’re well aware of the antique warbird market out there, there’s a lot of money to be made, and even parts can be hot commodities”

The Govt of Yukon clearly had no plans to recover this or any other wreck, to display in Yukon; lets face it, they’ve been there 65+ years, they have had a bit of time to set up a commitee etc etc are, they now not just thinking kerching?

Shame about the Hurricane, that would have looked good next to the Spitfire; might I suggest that when Rocketeer and Tangmere come to visit, you make them refreshment in the house, and I bounce off down the road with your shiny new trailer, that’s just what I need!

Obviously I’ve got to ask, is that your Hurricane?

I am not sure this is that exciting Robert??!!!
I am not a trained tin basher…..so it is not up to the high standards of Airframe Assemblies, Stuart Gowans or their ilk….I am merely a paper engineer….

Oi, I’m not an ilk.

Well I’m with Pete on this, on a non airshow day, DX can have a very theraputic quality, flying A/C of a historic nature enhance this, modern ones(especially Helicopters) dispell it, (as does almost everthing else modern);however my son thinks that F1 at DX is as good as it gets, so really its a case of live and let live, especially as its only ocassional.

Pete, if you think the sound of these engines are annoying, you need to visit us, when its not coming out of the TV, he’s watching ever race for the last 15 years on ewe tube, its even on now!

The Swift was an interim A/C, I don’t believe that it could ever have been anything else, 50’s politics notwithstanding, Hawkers were the preferred manufacturer; wrong place wrong time….
