    I’ll never forget it as I flinched as it tipped up a bit. But didn’t notice the “thousands of spectators screaming in horror’ as the paper said the next day!

    In the States there are examples of flyable MiGs from the 15 to the 29 (with a few gaps) , sabres, at least one ‘Hind’ helicopter, the Collings Foundation’s F-4, a couple of F-100s, in Europe there are some Vampires and Meteors, Sweden has a flyable collection of their cold war fighters and in Switzerland (i think) there is a Mirage-to name just a few!

    Did he do some work on the Duxford Hastings-or is my memory failing me? (again!)

    Apparently Whittle thought Ohain had copied his ideas until he met him after the war and came to the conclusion that they both invented it independently of each other

    I don’t think they’ve started work on the one at Duxford yet, but I believe one is being overhauled in America prior export to Britain (it was sold by Platinum Fighter Sales recently)

    You’re spot on.

    Turns out that he was firing off a complaint about his Comet voucher being invalid.

    Love it!

    To think that Coningsby tower may well be handling 2 Lancasters one day! Amazing!

    The article doesn’t say anything about a film. Just that they are trying to set up a charitable trust to make this happen-and that they will be “working closely with the CAA to ensure the Aeroplane and its operation conform with their requirements”
