Why? This thread should serve to educate, and not simply to catalog your media appearances. It seems that you are placing self publicity ahead of something that is a somewhat delicate subject. This thread has so far not delivered anything useful.

Have you found this Hercules yet? Yes or no?
Was it shot down? Yes or no?

Heard but not seen! Somehow a bright yellow Piper Super Cub snuck past here at 650 feet. I heard it, but saw nothing! The wind is bringing in all sorts of harr and mist.

Probably best to ask, rather than snap away first! There is a thread on PPRUNE at the moment about the theft of Rotax engines from small GA fields. Some commentators have speculated that the free availability of so much information online, backed up with high quality photography, is tipping off the thieves as to where and when to strike. Obviously spotters have some sort of symbiotic relationship with airfield staff, as they sit at the fence for hours at a time and tend to spot any nonsense, be it drones or thieves.

How much does he want for the Vulcan? Presumably it would have to be trucked out in sections and reassembled, so would it still be able to run after that? Bruntingthorpe would be a good venue for it if that were to be the case!

Funny old forum. I caught a bit of flak for criticising the Hawkinge museum’s decision to cut ‘n’ shut a few Bolingbroke wrecks together and pretend it was a WW2-era Blenheim. At the same time people seem to lament the loss of the ‘good old days’ when Gary Numan flew a Harvard painted to look like a Zero! :applause:

I’ve never seen the stars and bars on a Skyvan before.

Everyone and their Granny were up doing aerial survey work over central Scotland today, but alas nothing historic to report here.

I think sometimes people mistakenly think that when you colourise a photo, everything has to have a colour. Block-filling the sky a uniform shade of blue is pretty lazy. Likewise the wheels on that unit sitting under the wing probably wouldn’t have had nice walnut-brown tires. The attention to detail on the Hurricane is very nice, however!
