Hi Steve

Very similar to what happened to me august bank holiday weekend. I should of being at elvington on the sunday and monday of the great yorkshire airshow but had to work the sunday. I finished work at 2pm i was Knackered and when i got home the weather was clear and walm. I grabed a nice cold beer out of the fridge and went and sat in my back garden. Just as i was thinking about what i was missing at elvington a low throb of radial engines stired me and then directly over my house flys BBMF’s DC-3 and 30 seconds later the spitfire and hurricane folowing behind. I sat and watched them fly out of sight with a smile on my face. It made my day getting my own personal fly by.

Thanks BBMF

Hi all

Hi Joe

XS897 has been rebuilt with wings and a tial from a F.53 as the originals were cut and the damage you can see on the fuselarge above the wings was done by a JCB as they were smashing up the aircraft and a museum member stoped them and asked to save the aircraft. It was swaped for a tractor.

hi all

Joe is right we do have a lot of egg beaters at doncaster some belong to the yorkshire helicopter preservation group who are based at aeroventure and the rest belong to the museum.

They are:-

YHPG

Whirlwind HAS.1 XA870

Whirlwind HAR.10 XJ398

Whirlwind HAR.10 XP345- Under Restoration

Sioux AH.1 XT242

Museum:-

Robinson R.22B G-DELB- Under Restoration

Skeeter AOP.12 XM561

Whirlwind HAR.9 XN386

Scout AH.1 XP190

Scout AH.1 XP902- cockpit section

Wessex HU.5 XS481 – Under restoration

Sycamore HR.14- Under Restoration

I think thats all of them. The helicopter group have been donated a blister hanger when this has been constucted all the helicopters should be going into that hanger.
