Hi Mate,

Nice efforts, wasnt easy on Sunday was it 😉

Like the 1st and 2nd A380 shots 😀

I will be there both days

Will post some after the shows :D:D:D

So I have foundout what these ‘UK firsts’ were… there was me getting excited about perhaps the J29 Tunnan/Lansen pair or maybe even the Swiss Mirage 111 (CAA allow this??) and the outcome was… (drum roll please…) a ‘special’ King Air & a DA 40 whatever that is. 😡

Hey ho…

one Da40

wouldnt have thought this was special tho :/

No, she has not flown with the new tail.

There where plans to let the Buchon preform some engine runs during the open door, but this did not happen. The mechanics of Vormezeele had much work during the last few weeks. They have put the T28 Trojan N377WW in the air for the first time last week since it was imported from the US. After a testflight, it flew in at Braschaat on saturday and so made it’s first flying appearance for the general public. Also The Vormezeele team worked hard on the P51D Mustang PH-VDF which got airborne again for the first time after some major repairs on friday the 18th. The Mustang made a flyby at braschaat during this first flight on friday to mark the start of the the fly-inn.

So they are very busy.

Stieglitz

imo they got thier prioities wrong, obviously they own the aircraft and can do what they like with it, alot more P51’s and T28’s around then airworthy buchons…

shame but cant be helped that they neglect the aircraft (obviously she is cared for but having not flown for 20 years hardly loved) , you can almost hear her scream to get airbourne…

yes she is airworthy although very rarely flown for unknown reasons, searchs show been couple of years at least since he been flown

was brought up beginning of the year when suspected apperance at Legends

We do have close conections to RNHF for very clear reasons, (its big and grey with navy markings) and last year we operated from Yeovilton so we could steal their fuel its cheaper than at Bournemouth! and the landing fees where 0 as opposed to Bournemouths £275. and we may operate again this year for time at Yeo.? I dont think at present the Navy’s budget for HF would be allowed to increase threefold to take on CVIX.

A question, Does anyone have a servicable inflight refuelling probe for a Vixen ours is corroded so we are not able to fit it.

P-k,

Just wanted to add that I am a big fan of CVIX and would love to see her in the air again, I was at Biggin on Sunday last year and was gutted when she went U/s

heres hoping for you to be airbourne again soon!
