Or even Tower Bridge and HMS Belfast. (Taken out the back of a Chinook, hence the individual sat on the tail ramp!)

I totaly support the view that in the air is better than not at all.

I think that Red Bull deserve a lot of credit for picking the Sea Vixen to sponsor. They could have picked a hunter or another more numerous type.

I for one, would love to see the Red Bull B-25 at Legends! (I am sure I will get shot at for saying that!) Has anyone got any pictures?

I will be there, and much like Dave B will be showing my face for the first time at a forum gathering. Which pub did you have in mind for the after show beer?

Yep thats her – her elevator is ready to put on – we just havent fitted it yet – it one piece and abut 8 ft long!

She’s coming on well….engines running six months – once we’ve worked our way thru the 14ft long wiring diagram 🙂

Is your Beech the one that was at Brunty late last year? (See pictures), If so, very nice paint job and nose art!

Phil,

Which is the Spit in the background with the teardrop canopy? is it TE311?

Hi Darren,
My understanding is that the red SeaFury was bought by Kermit Weeks and that it is in storage here in the UK awaiting restoration to airworthiness.
Nice pics,btw. 😎

Thanks for the info Ant, and glad you liked the pictures. I do like threads with old pictures like yours, it shows just how many aircraft have come and gone, changed colours and owners etc.

Meteor WF791 was put back onto the airshow circuit, but unfortunatly crashed at coventry air show killing Flt Lt Stacey. As stated in the above postings, the aircraft went into a “phantom dive” due to lowering the undercarrage with airbrakes deployed in a turn. This was apparently a common problem with the Meteor. I am afraid that I was unfortunate in that I was at the show, and saw the accident. I believe that at that time the RAF had a vampire under restoration to revive the vintage pair. Maybee someone else knows if this was true?
