In response to the above two posts, the plan (according to the guys who work there) is that the ‘Star will be overhauled and displayed in her original operational scheme – “original silver”, to quote. Whether that means bare metal or re-painted entirely, I don’t know. Didn’t have a chance to ask as the museum had closed (they kindly allowed me in after 4pm to photograph the T-33) 😀

I buy Aircraft, Flypast and Aeroplane Monthly every, err, month, regardless of the content (don’t review them in the shop before buying) so it doesn’t bother me – as “ludicrous” and “stupid” as that may sound!

It’s only once a year, twice at max, at the start of the airshow season. Don’t see the harm, really. Sure, the majority of enthusiasts may be aware of the events and museums, but it may be of use to more casual readers. Not every aviation enthusiast relies on the internet – indeed, I know a few people who rely solely on the above named magazines for their news and dates.

Other than that, JDK’s first post in the thread pretty much sums up anything else I wanted to say.

Damn, that looks like some tough light! Still, some quality shots there – loving the Harvard beat-up in particular. 😎

Love that last JayPee shot. The rest aren’t bad either. 😀 :p

I’d like to see more, if you have any? Always a pleasure to look over ‘old’ shots.

My daughter passing her entrance exam into a posh school, and knowing my ex husband has to pay the school fees.:diablo:

Nicely done. 😀 And congrats to her!
