RE: Which airshow performer do you miss the most.
Pilot- Mark Hanna the most, but none are forgotten. Wish i had been old enough to witness Ormond Hayden-Baillee.
Aircraft- P-38, P-63 and the Mosquito.
RE: Display Routines-Fast and Low or Lots of Aeros?
It might be a LANCASTER but unless your going to get Alex Henshaw to loop it or at least let us see the so called corkscrew, then it should remain on the ground or up a pole.
RE: Display Routines-Fast and Low or Lots of Aeros?
Got to be fast, low and all over the place, BBMF bore the pants off me, the should just arrive on the morning and remain in the static park, so we can see them arrive and depart but they won’t interfere with all the exciting stuff.
RE: What’s the gem for Flying Legends then?
When i was at Kermits place the engineer giving us the tour said that it will be completed then shipped straight to the states for testing, he was pretty certain that due to the complexity of the engine it won’t be flown over here.
RE: HELMET; any ideas
It looks German to me but i’ll try and find out a little more, probably late WW2.
RE: What’s the gem for Flying Legends then?
I have to say the TFC Skyraider has always been well displayed, especially by that lunatic Paul Bohnomme. For someone without a military background he can really put on a show, he is certainly in the same league as the Hanna’s and Ormond Haydon-Baillie.
RE: Airshows Past
Why every other year?
All classic jets should be based at Kemble and all piston power at Duxford.
Then it’s Flying Legends and Classic Jet shows once a month.
RE: Stefan Karwowski
It was Stephen Grey’s Bearcat and P-51 he flew, he also flew the Sea Fury, Hunter and Spitfire for Spencer Flack.
I.m not sure what else he flew, but i think he was killed in a Pitts Special in the mid ’80’s.

RE: What has happened to AVI8
There back
RE: What has happened to AVI8
Avi8 and OFMC seem to be off again.
RE: What has happened to AVI8
Whu-whooooooooooooooo
As Homer would put it
RE: What’s the gem for Flying Legends then?
I think Spitfire 14 G-SPIT followed the Hurricane and the Sea Fury will probably be next the way things look.
Even though i’m sick of Spitfires i would like to see that Mk22 restored and flown.
RE: What has happened to AVI8
It’s been like it for 2 days now. Maybe the webmaster is re-vamping it.
RE: What’s the gem for Flying Legends then?
Then it will need totally re-building when it arrives over here.
