Good to hear and see your back at DX. Do you know who the new pilot was?
So when will you be returning to Duxford then DCW?
Great photos! Wonder why the Lysander was all wrapped up?
They will be displaying at Duxford next weekend (8th/9th)
From Wikipedia: “however, the Komet proved ineffective as a fighter, having been responsible for the destruction of only about nine Allied aircraft (16 air victories for 10 losses, according to other sources).”
Surviving: “It has been claimed that at least 29 Komets were shipped out of Germany after the war and that of those at least 10 have been known to survive the war to be put on display in museums around the world. Most of the 10 surviving Me 163s were part of JG 400, and were captured by the British at Husum, the squadron’s base at the time of Germany’s surrender in 1945. According to the RAF museum, 48 aircraft were captured intact and 24 were shipped to the United Kingdom for evaluation, although only one, VF241, was test-flown”

I’ve heard No.3 and No.4 Quite a lot! That latter is normally said by the parents of young kids!
Nice pictures Brian especially the Sea Fury!
Hope it wasn’t too serious:( The modern twin was a King Air.
As well as the Shoreham aircraft departing today TFC’s Hawker Sea Fury flew for the first time this year on it’s “G” registration G-CHFP!
I think you should have pointed them in the direction of the Duxford Aviation Society Website!
Unfortunately I won’t be at old warden on Sunday but I will be at Duxford where the RE8 and Albatros will be displaying! can’t wait
That would make sense as ARCo do maintenance, restoration and inspection tasks on the BBMF fleet.
Flying Legends 2013: 3 Spitfire Mk.I’s and 2 Hurricane Mk.I’s in formation.:diablo:
From what I know this aircraft (when airworthy) will depart Chino and head to Duxford and Join TFC. This was in the Classic Wings newsletter and it was photographed in the Flying Legends 2012 program.
