    Takes some getting used to
    I manage a few good aerial shots but for the most part I just leave it for statics and taxiing

    Must het a D10 sometime myself to replace my 500N’s

    I agree, it’s just that it can be a bit frustrating and I wish they waited till they knew for certain
    It’s a bit like being a kid a Xmas and not getting the toy you’d been dropping hints about all year lol 😀

    Seemed to be desperately trying to get it ready in time

    Seems a bit daft that this happens year after year
    They are always rushing to get something ready for Legends, with they would either plan it better or wait till the next year when it will definateky be ready instead of getting us excited and rushing trying to do it

    The P-51 Princess Elizabeth is a prime example
    Rushed to get it done for the show and it hasn’t flown since
    A bit worrying really

    Still it was great to be able to see the Hurrican Mk IV
    If only they could persuade the BBMF to put their Spit up with it next year 🙂

    Everton – no variety? Since when? La9, Ju52s, Corsairs, Lockheed 12, grrrrr:mad:

    That list is quality.

    Assuming they all turn up of course
    Corsairs aren’t much different

    Not had much else in recent years that’s been different
    Only things like the A-36 last year

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great show but I’ve seen the Spitfire and Mustang tail chase for the last 5 years

    It would also be nice to think that planes later than WW2 can be classed as legends in their own right
    The early jets seem to suffer from a lack of bookings and interest

    Jets such as Vampires, Meteors, Hunters etc are also legends imho

    Be nice to have them there for a bit of variety for a change

    Two simple statements.

    1) We would all prefer that aircraft didn’t have to be hung

    2) Hanging aircraft leaves room in the museum for another aircraft which might otherwise be rotting in the open or tucked away from our view.

    A no-brainer in my opinion.

    Moggy

    Very true

    Hope to see something good happening with that Stirling Steve 🙂

    Before you know it, they’ll have a Stirling and Whitley in there.

    Not a big fan of hanging planes up either

    Wouldn’t mind some sort of replicas of bombers like those
    Shame none survived

    Could you just replace the stuff that doesn’t have the paperwork?

    Things like this always seem a bit strange when they’ve already been flying over here but on s different register

    As Damien wrote, fantastic picture Gareth
    Hope mine are half as good as, though I think I’ll probably just have smoke trails of where the Extra had been 😀

    Yep a good day out, except for the sunburn!

    Be nice to see the DC-2 next to a DC-3 to get a better look at the differences between the 2
    Nice to see a DC-2, never seen one before

    Did the Sea Vixen leave yesterday?
    Was hoping to watch it depart, like the commentator announced it would
    Stayed till 19:00 but it didn’t go

    Hope it’s back in the air soon
