1944 Vickers Supermarine Spitfire PR XI | Platinum Fighter Sales

Remembering back 30 years when Mark Hanna took it for its first post-restoration flight.
 Eee, it were getting a bit misty that afternoon, I bet he was pleased to get it back on the ground!

Russain Spit ( Peter T ) just passing to the north of Denham (ATZ) heading west.(12.25) 

I spoke with him a couple of weeks ago. He sounded fine. 

So it will re-emerge as a two-seater this time. 

That will please some people, others not so much. 

Yellow wingtips seem to be a local mod, used by a number of  squadrons.

”As the months went by, the Tiger Moth came back to life piece by piece. Wanting their restoration to be as authentic as possible, the three carefully researched official paint schemes used by the RAF during World War II. The camouflage colours – dark earth and dark green – were applied to the top and sides in soft flowing bands to make the planes less visible to enemy aircraft flying above. The bottom surfaces were bright yellow so the planes could be seen more easily by other pilots in training.

But student pilots continued to have trouble picking out the planes, so later in the war some squadrons introduced their own variations on the colours. Danny, Andy and Mike selected one of these, adding a bright yellow band to the fuselage just behind the cockpits and on the two upper wingtips. In the centre of each band are the RAF roundels in use at the time.”

Broussard ( prob G-HOUR) with a Tobogo tucked in line astern, overhead Little Chalfont heading east, just now. To DX/North Weald would be a good guess. 

That rumbling radial could be heard a mile away, sounded great !

He was a great enthusiast, and put a lot into historic aviation.  His occassional ‘unusual’  partisan views were, if nothing else, a good talking point!  Legends seems to be in the past now, and Bernard too, but those displays were unmatched, and he added his very own distinctive flavour. 

This dreadful event continues to generate a major public profile, but the ‘why did this happen?’ process is well underway.

Dan Gryder and his ‘tell it how he sees it’ accident analysis channel is not universally applauded, but he has gathered a great many followers, and he continues to present some pretty compelling opinions on numerous accidents.

There is a public perception that the P-63 pilot was the figure mainly responsible for the Dallas tragedy, but D.G moves to defend him, and actually puts the (unqualified) Air Boss in the spotlight.
