Hello sailor!

In all seriousness, I’m not a vegan or vegetarian but I’ve found Quorn mince, burgers and chicken substitute products to be very enjoyable. Quorn bacon made me think I was eating the flesh of a scorched crash-test dummy. Never again.

Nice shot! I’ve not seen a picture of them in that scheme before. What is the ID of the sneaky Vulcan?

He’s a vegan isn’t he? No cheese, no eggs…..where do vegans get protein?

Mushrooms? The ‘Quorn’ brand of vegan-friendly products are derived from fungus grown in giant hoppers.

No, I heard it was a Mosquito doing single-engine aerobatics at <1000 agl over an OAP home.

I doubt this forum would ever recover! 50% of the user base slashed overnight. :stupid:

As I mentioned before, which seemed to fall on deaf ears, The Vulcan will not roll. Not because of Shoreham, the pesky CAA, VTTS or the condition of XH558. Kevin Rumens, the only man for the job, isn’t going to do it as much as I’m sure he would like to.

G-HURR was the first Hurricane I ever saw, at East Fortune when I was ten years old or so. At that point it was sporting a night fighter paint scheme of some sort, alongside a pink Spitfire; G-MKXI. I was able to get very close to it, because EF still allowed aircraft to use the runways at that point in time. I discovered my photos (which are terrible), alongside the Blenheim pre-crash with the long nose. I was a little miffed that my first Hurricane was black and my first Spitfire was pink. I was very saddened to hear of its loss at Shoreham.

“…Doesn’t have any connection with Scotland other than the years it was based at Lossie as an AEW2.”

So, in other words, it has a connection with Scotland. :eagerness: East Fortune are looking to put together a Cold War hangar, and a Shackleton makes a lot of sense in that context anyway. It seems like an obvious gap in their collection, especially given that they are a National Museum of Scotland outfit and their collection should therefore, in part, reflect on the aircraft that served up here.

I trust you are bitter because you haven’t been on the receiving end of a tidal wave of apologies over your MOSI predictions. :highly_amused:

I meant, rather, that depending on the various stakeholders’ level of interest in the aircraft. It might ultimately be removed carefully, with every piece labelled and bagged with great care. Alternately it might be chopped into sections somewhat more crudely but still be restorable at the end of the day. Finally it could end up coming out in a procession of skips.
