Different aircraft. The diner is G-SIXC.
It was mentioned on HAC’s facebook page that it is going to the US.
Isn’t that Suggs of the band Madness. He also presented Salvage Squad on channel 4.
Hi All,
Any idea if they will now be renewing the runway completely rather than just the parts that tore up ? If so I assume they would try and get a fundraiser going
for it and those who have attended air-shows at the airfield would welcome it. I think even those who have never been wouldn’t mind dipping into their pockets
for a worthwhile cause I bet ?Geoff.
I believe on another video, it was said the runway was due for relaying at the end of this month.
Considering Mr Jackson now owns a small squadron of full scale mockup Lancasters, and a single Wellington (no doubt costing several million), I would be very surprised if that doesn’t go ahead.

The blog you linked to was from Dec 2012, over 4 years ago. Would have thought we would have heard more about it since then if it is going ahead.
I seem to remember that there were several Fireflies reported as being for sale on the African continent quite a few years ago (Kenya?), though due to fading memory, senility or even both, I cannot remember the details, though I do seem to remember a black & white photograph taken from a low angle!
Also, I assume that the Firefly being restored at Duxford, is one of the two yellow examples that came from Scandinavia and wonder what has happened to the second?
The second example is at the Aviodrome in Holland as mentioned in post 7, was swapped for a Spitfire IIRC.
Beautiful – what an achievement to have it ready so quickly. G-CBEL but appears as “G-CFEL” on starboard side or is it an optical illusion?
Think some of it might have come off in transit. In the Air Leasing thread, somebody mentioned that it had been hastily applied.
Think he has jumped before he was pushed. Watched all except one episode. Didn’t mind Chris Harris and Rory Reid. Matt Le Blanc was ok. Don’t think they used Sabine and Eddie enough. Hopefully they can do another series with Rory Reid and Chris Harris being the main presenters with it being more like last nights episode, where it was more about cars being reviewed rather than trying to emulate Clarkson and co.
my mistake misunderstood the report.
The average of 12 hours was on Gnat and Jet provost for the previous 10 years. He had 707 hours flying time in the previous year with 418 in command.

I was lucky that I got to see them at Download a couple of years ago. They sounded amazing live. RIP.

Not an expert, just trawled google and I believe it is one of these.
