I understand that the Zero is now owned by Legend Flyers themselves, who will offer it for sale.

Trolley Aux, have you contacted the organisers with your concern? A quick email would have taken you less time than the three posts you’ve made here, and been far more useful.

That tradition has continued unbroken, as we’ve never had a World Aerobatic Champion from the UK

In a long interview on Radio Lincolnshire this afternoon, Chris Heames said that he flew the Shoreham display last year.

The ever-reliable Global Aviation Resource write-up on last year’s Shoreham Airshow reports that Chris Heames and Andy Hill each displayed the Hunter on one of the two days of the event.

Hunters are still in use both here and in the States in connection with development work but are privately owned. Do we know why the one in the States crashes a while ago?

They are used in the U.S. by private contractors as aggressors on contract to the military. Two of the ATAC ones have crashed near Point Mugu in the past couple of years, both stall-spin accidents IIRC.

Hardtarget,

The CAA have no jurisdiction over military aircraft. I’m not sure where you have heard that the Typhoon display will be limited. To change the display will involve a full revalidation via the military PDA (Public Display Authourity) process. The same would apply to any modification to the existing Red Arrows display.

Yes, the ex-Ed Russell one from Canada. It has been there for 18 months or so now

I was saddened just now to see on the BBC news that another display pilot used his appearance on the programme as an ‘expert’ as an opportunity to advertise his business. Very inappropriate under the circumstances. 🙁
