WELL SAID Steve 964

[QUOTE=Avro’s Finest]With all due respect. After 20+ years in the industry, I can say hand on heart that was a prime example of a loss of control and extreme arrogance on the part of the pilot by continuing with the display. If it had happened over here, he would have been pulled from the display – no question. He lost control, and got away with it. End of story. The black smoke is caused by a rich mixture at high RPM to prevent detonation, Black 6 did it, the DB engined 109 the Hanna’s operated did it. It’s the nature of the engine.[/QU

Absolutely agree with Avros finest on this, purely pilot error and he was very fortunate to get away with it.

Cannot understand what all the fuss about Sally B is really?

Why has this thread about the Duxford Hawk 75 descended into a discussion about P40’s? Oh and by the way it’s not the Duxford Hawk as I was under the impression it belonged to TFC

And we must be carefull of things off the back of a lorry………

or in the front of a lorry eh?

Could it not be the Mk19 Spitfire for France?

I would have thought a Mk19 spitfire for France would have gone to France

I will say this again jets should have their engines removed and stuck on runway de-icers and whats left should be melted down and used for something useful like pots and pans.

Dear dear dear all this fun on a thread and I missed it all excellent stuff Bent wing bomber this lot will never learn will they 🙂
