Indeed, as it took off.
I was with a group of people waiting to cross at the holding point whilst the Hurricane displayed. Once he’d displayed and landed we were told to cross over, and about half way across the Spit suddenly appeared so I stopped and grabbed the shots. He was airborne well before getting to the crossing point (the crossing point was at the very top end on an unusable section of the concrete runway) and his undercart was already retracted as he appeared over the crest so there was no danger other than bits falling off or engine failure. Apart from stopping for the shots I was doing as instructed, as were several others. Once he went over I continued towards the car park area and watched from the car park side of the airfield. His display was superb by the way, one of the best I’ve seen (helped by being closer to the run in point than the actual official crowd area).

Cheers.

I think Eric Marsh and Gary Ferriman, a couple of local pilots. The Cavendish Hotel is at Baslow in Derbyshire.

Cheers.

Most likely candidates:

UPS 763F N320UP
Lufthansa MD11F D-ALCS

Not guaranteed but they were overnighters.

Cheers.

The Sukhoi is airworthy but presently just under maintenance. It is serviced every 3 – 4 months or so. I think the CAA may have doubts about certification.
The Bucc is airworthy and if all goes well with the CAA my understanding is that it should be in the air in the not too distant future.
