    Did he slip with the scalpel?

    The dentist’s Facebook page was being buried in hate earlier today. I’m guessing he is having a rough time of it at the moment!

    I agree, but thats what I meant by Kermits problem. Too many projects.

    As I said before, its a trade off. If Kermit hadn’t stepped in we might all be here moaning about the Lancaster we scrapped in the ’80s. At least the thing is in a dry, stable environment for Kermit, or whoever, to restore when the time arises.

    My only concern is that Kermit is in his 60s, and ultimately will be slowing down a bit. Without being morbid you do have to wonder just how many of these projects will be finished and how many will never be seen again.

    Plus, I suppose if you really want to see the Lanc again you could make him an offer you couldn’t refuse. Maybe trade that Beverley for it?!?!

    Prestwick has the right idea. Free show on the Saturday for the general public and paid entry to the static display on Sunday for the dedicated.

    Or it could be a T27 as mentioned in the commentary and the video name…

    Who sold the Tucanos to the cartels? :p The video shows a twin-engine aircraft being downed!

    I feel a little uneasy about this video. Drug runners have been blackmailed into doing the dirty work, so I don’t know what the back story is with this pilot. For all we know his family was tied up somewhere and he had to make the run to ensure their survival? Its a murky world, and some of the vitriol directed at the downed airman seems a little unfair. As far as the video shows he was unarmed, and flying for his life. The guys making the real money off the drugs runs won’t be anywhere within a thousand miles of this little scene.

    Narco-subs, as mentioned earlier, are very definitely a thing now.

    What are the circumstances behind this? What sort of aircraft was brought down?

    The photographer forfeited that right as soon as he uploaded them to Facebook. The tricky bit can be to unpick the html and get the images back out of Facebook.

    I thought this might be about the Errol machine. Gannets have a hard time here!
