    I came across the site a few nights ago, nothing had changed in 30 days according to their forum. Not exactly a hive of activity.

    I believe that the MSFU was based at Speke with it’s catapult launched Hurricanes and Fulmars, 1941 to 1943.

    Interestingly it is hoped that the author of this account will be at Legends next month with the 609 Sqn chaps in the TFC hangar.

    I’ve given this careful consideration and the correct usage is a ‘Tedium of Anoraks’.

    Thank you old wise one, a “Bore” is therefore the collective noun for an endless stream of “Will it be at Legends” threads that appear at this time of the year.

    It is merely one of many EN830. Ask JDK about a 1/24th P-51 😉

    He loves it, it was what he had always wanted 😉

    A load of anoraks.

    Is that the collective noun ? Or is it a bore of anoraks ?

    Presumably this got canned as the BBMF didn’t fly today? Shame… 😀

    Yes, acccording to the news this evening, the Beckhams decided to scrap the flypast because it would highlight any rivalry between England and Germany.

    Would a Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane flying in formation really do that ????
