About time this one came up for sale, I think it has been parked since John Romain took out the flagpole with it about 4 years ago.

I wonder if the Hurricane and Harvard will follow. I can’t recall a time when more Hurricanes were either up for sale or have changed hands than the past 12 months or so.

Agree, also didn’t appreciate the comment about the DH Museum looking like a “Boneyard”.

It was rather unfortunate that the footage they shot of him poking around the external airframes on a grey day did rather tend to back that view up. 🙁

So what you’re saying is that this Arrow was transferred to the UK, without a single piece of documentation (from either Canada or the UK), a single photograph ever being taken, or a single eyewitness. And then it just vanished into thin air.

A Spitfire XVI, perhaps?

I love a good conspiracy theory. 🙂

Holy thread revival Batman!!!!!!!!

Let me explain something about this ‘competition’ thing that you are so worried about rafmatt.

There is a way that this can be overcome. I used to think that the solution was some kind of black magic or other work of the devil, but after much research I found out that they had discovered something called ‘flying’. This allows aircraft to be, not quite in several places at exactly the same time, but it does allow them to display at several events on the same afternoon. If you look at photos online, you will see that the Spitfire XVI, Buchon, Swordfish and Sea Fury were all at Yeovilton AND Legends on Saturday. Clever, eh?

And as for the BBMF, they claim to do the same thing, but having seen the lists of multiple events they display at each and every weekend, I’m utterly convinced that they really have invented some type of teleport device! 🙂
