Can anyone trump that? Pun intended!

Better in Force10 from Navarone!

Presumably the suspension would only take effect if the Typhoons or SAMs failed to do their jobs?

Resmorah,

It’s a bit much to say we should have voted to stop all the EU nonsense! I personally would prefer a centralised EU government BUT I would hope they would be open enough to encompass all groups and interests.
I would guess that when the committee were forming they didn’t have anyone championing the cause of the minorities.
Your quote “All non-operational airframes are, by Euro decree, only to be viewed as museum exhibits” though suggests that those operational from Old Warden, Duxford, Le Ferte etc are not museum exhibits so everything in the garden is sort of rosy.

Has to be a Bucc, doesn’t it?

Wasn’t the longest surviving Q6 G-AFFD which was kept for some time on the Isle of Man?

Slightly related to this I was reading a report on a mission to locate the Ark Royal in the Mediterranean. Given that the ship has been underwater for something like 60 years it was surprising to see an aircraft alongside the ship, and looking fairly complete. Is the Med not as corrosive as the channel?

The Dakota was indeed at Manchester Ringway and was pictured in 74 or 75. I recall nipping under the fence and having a nosey inside.
Nowadays I think..what if the fire brigade had done an exercise whilst we were inside? Toast I think! The things you did when you were younger!

Someone, a few months ago, was asking about the aircraft at Toussus. The only photo I have was a poor one which has been unprofessionally zoomed and lightened by myself to create…
It was pictured in ’78 I think.
