As relative layman when it comes to aviation officialdom, I want to understand the consequences of this. So does a “display item” cover for example the Red arrows or would that be 9 “display items”.

Likewise something like the BBMF or Hanger 11 are capable of doing…putting up a pair that display start together then separate into a solo display, before a couple of opposition passes together before the second solo display and finally return as pair for final passes.

How are these things counted.

Whether his TV or Radio broadcasting was your cup of tea. His charity work shouldn’t be ignored. He was Mr Children in Need both in front of the camera and behind the scenes as a trustee.

After 50 years on air…RIP.

Realistically these days, it would take a company/organisation to approach an Indy TV company with their project. The TV company then have to consider how and what type of approach to take, so that they themselves could approach the Broadcasters.

Then there is scheduling, editing and post-production could mean that the programme ends up airing 6 months or more after the project was completed, unveiled and possibly flown for an airshow season.
As an enthusiast we might still be interested in the process, but broadcasters could see it as being to late for general public viewing.

I’m sure the new civilian CG are doing a superb job and will improve further as the A189s come on stream.

We can’t forget that the Merlin flights will be providing rescue coverage for the fleet and of course cover the launch and landings from QE and POW in due course.

There may be a retouched image of one of the previous designs that the company illustrators and marketing divisions have show publicly before.
We already know it’s a variation on the flying wing, smaller than a B2. I’m not expecting anything spectacularly new.

BBC News just ran a report commenting that there will be a few more flights with the last flight be before the end of the month.

No obvious reason for running the report today, other than as a filler on a relatively slow news day

BBC now reporting with the same pic. No injuries

I’m a bit more worried about the persistent rumour that she was launched without her screws, so that HM could do the champagne/whiskey bit on schedule. And now they just need to work just how on earth one fits screws to a ship already in the water (the only dry dock large enough to take her is too far away to just drift to)

Still could just be an oft repeated rumour I spose.

Don’t know about Mrs Windsor’s timing but mounting of the screws does seem something of an after thought.
