Canbera and Two Hunters, Low level, just below scuddy cloud base heading South. Straight over Wing Farm Airfield, Warminster, Wilts..

Fantastic Sound as they approached.

They landed here at B/mth Hurn. Canberra then went off on it’s own to Jersey before returning and they’re all displaying at Goodwood tomorrow. 🙂

Can anyone tell me where the two will depart from for Sundays (todays) visits to Old Warden, Gransden and Bourne airfield?

They are departing from Bournemouth airport at 13.05 for today’s displays and flypasts; landing back at Coningsby approx 16.10.

Heard the distinctive sound of a Merlin and spotted Mustang KH774 circling high around Hurn a few minutes ago.

Two seater Spitfire doing circuits around Hurn at approx 1.30 this afternoon.

I have since found out it was SM520

Yes, you can almost guarantee it’ll go something like “if plane part A, can’t be removed from plane part B, in the next 5 mins then the whole move could be in DANGER!” *cue increasingly loud dramatic music before cut to ad break*. 😀

I’m damn sure Elvington would keep it’s wheels* firmly on the deck and wouldn’t paint it a stupid pink colour so they get my vote. :eagerness:

*(it’s main wheels at least)

Trouble is once retired it simply becomes another dead airframe sitting rotting away, the massive public donations it manages to drum up now from people that “pay” to see it fly will equally dry up as it become just another one of the many.

Yup, I simply can’t see public donations funding a grounded aeroplane, and I know once it’s wheels touch down for the final time at some distant airfield, my monthly donations will cease.

The problem VttS have is there’s never enough money in the kitty to have any kind of fallback plans, so I think it’ll end up a case of it goes wherever someone offers it a home.
Personally I’d prefer that to be Elvington, where at least it’d be looked after and kept running a few times a year.

Not sure if Ben has flown any shows this year.
