    Plenty of Cortinas, although I didn’t manage to get any decent pictures, there is one lurking amongst this lot…

    Good point, there are also other events coming up this year, quoting from the events list on the Sally B website:

    10 Sun
    Duxford
    Flypast Over London & Buckingham Palace

    at which Sally B’s presence (or conversely, and I hope it doesnt happen, absence) would ‘spread the word’ to the general public, mass media and hopefully, the powers that be.

    For Landyman, if you look closely you can see a few Capris in action at the weekend:

    Sounds like fun, the best I have managed is a couple of laps of Mallory Park in an 850cc Mini…

    …I was also offered the chance to do the famous Shelsley Walsh hillclimb in a tractor, must give that a go some day! 🙂

    Hello Erik!
    When you post simply go to ‘Additional Options’ below the text box you are typing into, click on ‘manage attachments’.

    You will then see six boxes into which you can browse for an image from your computer, and upload them to the forum. The pictures will appear as a small ‘thumbnail’ whch visitors to the ite can open and expand.

    What state is the Twin Pioneer in, does its use for fire training mean that it has been burnt?

    Very nice indeed…. just a small question for any Hunter experts..

    The picture of xf515 banking away from the camera is particularly impressive, is this the hunter that flew with the Jet Provost and Gnat (presumably with Kennet aviation) at Farnborough last year?

    Don’t forget the Vampire and Meteor indoors, I consider myself very lucky to live down the road from such treasures 🙂

    Wow, a beautiful machine that I had not seen decent pictures of before. Since we have had Israel’s F15 over here for airshows, maybe it could be tempted over for Legends some day?

    Which gets me thinking, it would look fantastic in formation with the silver Dutch Spitfire and the green Irish one, a flypast of ‘export’ Spits in highly distinctive liveries. Are there any other flyable examples in exotic colour schemes, or plans to restore one into a foreign scheme?

    I guess the most easily accesible ‘warbird’ experience would be:

    *A roof over your head
    *Noisy
    *Single piston engine
    *40s vintage, low wing monoplane
    *Roundels on the wing
    *Flown by a trusted forum member (don’t worry, it’s not me!)

    You might like to try a local ‘spitfire substitute’, the Percival Prentice.

    You can also bring a couple of friends along for the ride 🙂
    Anything could be arranged, but it is doing pleasure flights at Wellesbourne in the near future.
