[QUOTE=kev35. With ABSOLUTELY no guarantee even now that the aircraft will fly.

….necessary to secure CAA approval to allow the Vulcan to return to the sky.

So, next June it is then. Put the date in your diaries. But remember, you all donate now, you hear?

..the ever optimist, eh? June next year…yeah, right….

If they’re gonna operate it at that MTOW it’ll fall in to group 8 which requires £239 million cover!! 😮 If Bae are covering the premium for that they’d better speed up the Typhoon deliveries.. 😉
Neil.

Now, now, we’re told we must be positive??? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Of course BAE will pay the premium, of course Marshalls will support them, of course the CAA restrictions will be lifted, of course the Government will lift all these astronomical charges, of course there will be more air shows created just for the Vulcan…..sorry, am I overdoing it? :dev2: Me, I’m just a realist like MOTF.

More money needed to be raised – astronomical insurance costs – CAA restrictions – less and less air shows wanting such expensive participants – the writing is on the wall!!

Looks like at IAT Fairford to me. The building behind looks very familiar.

….BUT will the CAA allow it to fly?? If it is that close, it should have a civil registration allocated to it, which would tell the world this will actually happen!

This mix-up applies only to the Corgi catalogue text. The info and models are all correct. Next Meteor is in 1574 Flt F(TT)8 markings.

News from the Front!
There is a World War One set on the airfield with various cardboard cut outs of WW1 types but SIX flyable Nieuport replicas, five of which have arrived in a crate from the US and the other one was UK sourced.
They are using a Piper Cub as a camera ship. The rest of the Nieuports are being assembled in the Halton Flying Club Hanger and will be airtested within a matter of days. Also there is a flying Bristol Fighter, but not sure of the status of this. Apparently, my sources say that once filming is complete the aircraft will be dissembled & scrapped! 🙁 They are all powered by a 105 HP Volkswagen engine.

So, it looks like the movie is a ‘go er’ after all. Any more info?
I remember when that there hangar was full of Gnats and JP’s.

Would that have included Jaguars, Whirlwinds and other non-flyers?
Wait….I recognise that bit of concrete! Aha, I recall photographing three Vulcans and a Twin Pioneer there in the ’70s…er and a Beaufighter’s nose!!!

Rearwin Cloudster?

Ah yes, I forgot that ‘museum of one! :diablo:

No one has mentioned the Mirage 2000 yet! I find solo displays by one of those, a Harrier and a Tornado equally unsociable at air shows!

Quote “We are talking about historic aircraft now in museums or maintained in an airworthy condition. If everyone just listed all the types they have flown in, it would become very boring!”

And there was me thinking i’ve seen tristars and 1-11’s recently flying?

We’re talking about ACTUAL aircraft here, not random examples of withdrawn types!

Excellent event – gets better each year! Love the ‘period shot’ of the Dragon TMN, incidently which was due to me that it attended! Here is a line-up of visitors.

It’s all very well listing every type of aircraft you have flown in, but the subject of this thread is ‘So what preserved aircraft have you flown in? How many TriStars are preserved for example? TAROM BAC 1-11…preserved???
