10gb, not too bad. I took 2.5gb of pics today. Nice shot there.

I personally don’t think that Pink Lady will be grounded like said today, even though finding people who will devote their time and expertise to keep the Flying Fortresses in the skies is becoming harder and harder, I’m sure that someone will step in and save her from becoming a static museum piece.

“After 45 minutes in the air, the port engine suddenly shut down, and, 10 minutes later, the other engine began to falter.”

Hmmmm, possibly a fuel problem?

Condolences to the families of those involved.

And am I correct in thinking in thinking that this this is the plane involved?

I never had the chance to meet Brian Brown, but I thank him for his professionalism, skill and pure determination as a display pilot. We’ve lost a fine man in the aviation world.

It’s also extremely shocking to think that just a few weeks ago I saw the Hurricane flying, in all her glory, and she’s no more now. However, having said that, it makes me seem extremely shallow, without any thought for the pilot’s family. That is far from the case.

My heart also goes out to the family of Colin McRae and those involved in the crash in Scotland. It has certainly been a extremely bad weekend for aviation, now with news emerging of the Thai air crash.

Also, I can’t believe anyone has the audacity to put a video of the Shoreham air crash on YouTube, don’t they have any respect for the pilot’s family at this time?

God bless.

It has certainly been one tragic day. Reminds me back back to the Biggin Hill Aerofair tragedies.

My sincerest condolences go out to the families of those killed over the weekend. Rest in peace.

Jamie.
