A little presumptuous Jeepman to think Key would decide now they had got it all wrong and they will reinstate the old type of forum after all this time and the devastation that the departure of ‘THE MANY’ leaving it to ‘THE FEW’ of us to carry on would bring ‘THE MANY’ back.
WOW
cheers PS, I am sure they will be back in the air very soon
Thanks for that gen PS. very interesting
Obviously all maintainance flights as no GA allowed I thought
Great to see DX posting again, Thank you
Great news its found a good home
I think Key know the traffic and it must satisfy them or they would not bother to keep paying for this lack lustre Forum
The work that must of gone into those two buggers John is I think not appreciated by most, I for one appreciate it and appreciate the dedication you are putting into the Stirling for us mere mortals to ogle at.
Top notch one more
TA out
Well another flouncer, why not just go quietly cannot work it out unless your ego needs a massage.
I come in, I read if anything has been posted, I reply if I can add anything and go again, tiz not a big deal as this forum will never be what it was just like this pandemic it will never go back to what we knew before, airshows, car events or the Ideal home exhibition this is all gone for the foreseeable so get used to it.
It is incredibly sad the way its gone and I do not think the knowledge that some provided here is of interest to the many now, its all FaceAche/Instagram photos underwriting the written word.
Warbird business is going to struggle for a while and the possible sale for owners that just cannot afford to have hangar queens along with the massive hike in insurance on flight risk, the two seat rides may just be the thing that gets the movement going again.
Just my opinions, I could be wrong but only time will tell.
Yes seen that, fun getting in and out of that
Could it be Halfpenny Green Airport, look at this is the background, will try and find a better angle

Will date it by no cannons, I remember the wings were rebuilt and they decided to fit the shrouds
That looks like the back of Duxford where there used to be a big Straw Stack with a cover over it
Prop Strike, I thought it was so you can use the centrifugal force to aid starting and to clear the pots upon shutdown.
