a program about the Old flying machine company ,I remember we all watched with interest the daily life of the OFC when it was going, seeing it going from strength to strength, and sadly its demise

Read last months Aeroplane Magazine Chris. There was an article on the OFMC. They are still very much alive.

Discussed recently 🙂

They look fantastic Hindenburg.

Out of interest (and been nosey I guess) whats the airframe parts that they are sat in in the pics youve posted?

You mean this one Tim?

…and totally wrong.

It is not the ex Charles Church Spitfire.

Charles Church had the ex Tom Voll Battle from Canada via Strathallan. It was substantially restored and potentially a flying project.

The fuselage and wing parts at Henlow was acquired by the RAFMus from somewhere to aid the the Iceland project, which had a burned out cockpit area.

Juest wanted to check you were not losing your marbles :p

I dont think its just the moronic You Tube posters that should hang their heads in shame.

After at least two of the Duxford warbird accidents I seem to recall the national tv channels showing crash footage on their scheduled news reports.

Maybe they also can be accused of pandering to the freak element of the public who enjoy watching such things, but also the question has to be raised that had all family and friends been told of the loss of a loved one so soon after the accident whilst thier demise was been broadcast to millions?
