Good news I did speak to Dr Bob last night and he told me a test flight was on weather permiting:)

Sorry about that I used a proper billion:D money just dosnt go as far as it used to! Unless you work for a bank of course:eek:

Not good news hope that her injurys are not as bad as the report suggests. And as I did race brakedown recovery at Thruxton circuit for sixteen years my thoughts are also with those at the incident.

Probably not in my opinion and I can think of lots of things to spend the money on, the Vulcan maybe get a concorde airworthy the list is endless. or you could give every one in the country about eighteen hundred pounds:)

In my thoughts as well.

Ah the good old EA-7 optica, I worked at old sarum as an aircraft grp laminator in the mid 80’s up until the loss of the first one we sold in a crash at ringwood that sadly killed the two police officers on board. I actual not only went up in the prototype I got a bit of stick wiggleing in as well:) and sat in the middle seat you could lean forward and look back at the main wheels gently spinning in the slipstream! it was like flying around in a goldfish bowl! Oh and as to the crash it ended up in a copse of trees after stalling a wing at low altitude and a very high angle of bank and entered an inverted spin that was unrecoverable with the hight in hand. the aircraft was not found to be at fault.
