Some of the participants at the Northolt phot day have been leaving this afternoon. Saw a Bulldog earlier, just had the strikemaster fly over. Tomorrow morning will be noisy when the RAF fast jets start to leave. (Won’t need my alarm clock)

So howe come that other sources say that she was out with prop damage that day?

Don’t know the answer to that one but the information about the kill that TT found is also on the official website for ML407, scrolll down to the bottom.

Just had what i believe to be 2 Gnats fly into Northolt for the photo day on Sunday, only heard the first one that is why I say believe, the one I saw was in Red Arrows markings. Also saw a Harrier GR.9 coming in while I was still at work.

Am I right in thinking that the Watts prop being referred to is a two-blader as opposed to a three-blade? If so, then the Kiwi Hurricane doesn’t have one…

I think what Oxcart was referring to is that the Fighter Collection own a two-bladed prop for a Hurricane (see thread for mention of the prop http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showthread.php?t=81002 ) and that they could put it on the Kiwi Hurricane if they bought it.

“Not to be out done, the Nimrod had its first engine runs for 3 1/2 years”

I’m sure I saw this fly at Legends last year, or does “engine runs” mean something different, such as calibration?

The Nimrod you saw last year was the Historic Aircraft Collections Nimrod Mk II, the TFC’s is a Nimrod Mk I.

There is a P-47 at Duxford [in bits] the photo was taken Dec last year anyone knows what is happening to it.

Fuselage is under restoration in America, due back soon I believe.

This is the Tempest that is awaiting its engine, a centaurus powered example.
