I’m going back to about 1973 or 4 here, so no chance of it being on video. I do have a clear memory of that lovely plane with the black gloss finish and the knight on the nose flying very low over a cornfield. I was a nipper at the time, but the image stuck. I read somewhere that OHB had a bit of a penchant for low flying-beating up Duxford in his Sea Fury and such like.

Found a Kyosho site earlier, but alas, no T33.
Would make a spectacular flying model though…….

I remember one called the “Poachers” displaying at Leuchars in the 80’s. Four JP Mk. 3’s I think. Red with blue trim.

That Shackleton photo speaks a thousand words.
Its a crying shame that this can happen in a national museum.

Take a reality check Merlin. Its one thing flying a prop driven warbird, and quite another flying-safely-a highly complex supersonic capable fighter. The CAA is the organisation that ensures a red hot Avon engine doesnt come hurtling through your roof, and they seem to do that rather well.It may be frustrating for folks like us, that we cant see our pet fighter up in the sky where it belongs, but thats the way it is, and the way its going to be.

Wish he hadn’t taken KB976 though!

I agree with you on the spelling issue. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve read about airframes being “scraped”.
Nothing wose than bad speling. Or gramer

Pie very much in the sky I think.

Sorry to hear that Keith.
I’ll look forward to hearing of a later slot.
