Here is a spanner in the works , it looks incredibly similar to Rolls Royce Meteor engine conrod shape is right

Agreed Trumper, Duxford will become a Hendon if its not careful

I think the reasons are plain to see  

I cannot see there will be a Legends type show in the UK in the future, Legends was a one off mainly because of its location.

Remember the old Biggin shows, North  Weald Fighter Meet and The Great Warbirds displays, Farnborough is a shadow of its former self, the American At Home shows now all gone never to return.

I think my age group had the best of the airshow times apart from the early pre WWII  where aviation was changing by the day, seeing basically squadrons of the latest RAF rides along with the odd warbird in the 60s to the growth of the big warbird scene of the 1980s onwards.

The owner opp has this year suffered by not only the fallout from Shoreham but now Covid keeping the minimal airshows down to zero for over the first half of the season and big impacts coming from that and the vintage ride aircraft loosing the funding that keeps them in the air.

I really hope there can be a replacement for Legends but I see the only viable place is Duxford as the reat of the site is part of the deal.

Sad day

if they are here they aint bothering anyone else, they must be loving the tumbleweed

I think those who took the stance to leave still look in  from time to time and its hard for them to swallow their pride and return, once a couple start to return others will follow, I never left but could not post so just created a new account. Many hated loosing their thread counts, to me it means nothing, I stayed but just spend less time here for the obvious reasons but Its going ok just in the 30mph roads not the 150mph autobahns 

Excellent update there John even with your Wedge Packer issues on a warm day, nobody want that!

Shes a movin forward
