Can we do a pair of Perigrines please !!!!!!

i remember watching a program 3 or 4 years ago where they built the glider as close to the design as poss “and flew it”. i think it was covered in blue/white checkered tablecloth cloth.

Didnt it feature on one of the special Negus /Martin documenbtaries on the history channel about 2 years ago.They built it faithfully and the programme was using some very old footage as the guys involved were still alive and they talked about it and the fact of how they hid it from the Germans .Ands yes it did fly I dont hink it was anything spectacular but I think they proved it could have flown a decent distance to clear the castle and surrounding grounds.

At the end of the day we are still sitting here waiting for someone to answer all our approaches and say something as to if we can be considered a worthy home to preserve and restore the aircraft.

I’ve no doubt the Lightnings at Brunters could take-off and even possibly go around and land safely, but at the end of the day it would still be illegal and who knows what sort of repercussions there would be.

mishaps can happen wlook what nearly ahppened with the Victor ?.

I’m sure they won’t, but expect a call from the US Defence Department!

tell em we will do a swap for a few Harriers
