    The Mohawk should be on display due to the Lindbergh connection and the fact that he came to the UK for a fast touring aircraft rather than sourcing one in the USA. How things have changed. Perhaps a loan to the Woodley museum could be arranged to complement their Miles history. Besides it looks terrific in the black and orange colour scheme rather than yet another camouflaged RAF aircraft.

    Ditto with the Mohawk. Never did understand what it had to do with the RAFM but I guess that might have been the previous owner’s decision?

    Thank you for flagging that one up. The Monospar did well to lift those 4 beefy blokes on the power of two Pobjoys. Interesting that both the Monospar and Dragon had to be hand-swung. I now know what I need to complete my flying gear….. a large hat to be worn at all times!

    That John Romain bloke gets everywhere doesn’t he? Nice shots but Wanaka is a lovely setting so it’s hard to go wrong.

    I don’t think so. It’s supposed to have joined the Aero Legends operation.

    Ah, but this one is in the USA where things are different.

    It’s a Texas Taildragger, hence the registration.

    I agree the AAIB will report in good time but the coroner has said that he/she won’t open the inquest until March next year after considering what the AAIB has to say in their final report. The AAIB don’t usually apportion blame so I do wonder who the police will bring in for their analysis of “blame” if such should be the case. Until the case is finalised there won’t be much in the way of closure for the families of the victims. The conclusions of the coroner could well have further implications for airshow organisers.

    I fear the final report might be some time in coming. The police have apparently asked for the witness statements, videos and probably most importantly, the two in cockpit videos. If the latter are usable they might provide the definitive answer as to how well the manoeuvre was flown, which could open a real can of worms in terms of liability for the crash and it’s implications.

    I think it’s actually a Dragonfly not a Dragon.

    Thanks Alan, I’d missed that thread. Still, a burger and chips at £13.95 seems a bit OTT.

    1100 hours P1 on light aircraft but I wouldn’t presume to comment on the ability of any display pilot.
