I suspect that the enthusiasts in the UK will be knowledgeable enough to realise that something is amiss when a B-25 turns up, to much fanfare, at Coningsby on Friday morning! 😀
Yes, I realise that, but my question was when, not why, did they start calling it by the nickname ‘Vera’? I’ve seen it fly several times in the US and Canada over the years, and never heard it called that before.
Plea to the mods – can we just have a single thread for all things related to the Lanc tour please? Otherwise, as the feeding frenzy commences, we are in danger of being overrun by threads on the topic.
I thought the TFC Mustang prop that was bent in the 90’s was repaired?
No, it was scrap. A real shame, one of the last NOS cuffed-blade Hamilton Standard props in existance, it lasted a grand total of four hours of flight time. 🙁
It belongs to a friend of mine who keeps it at a local fruit farm and takes it around various events. It was originally built for a Kenneth Branagh movie (The Magic Flute). I’m not sure if it was departing OW, or arriving for next weekend’s Great War event there.
