That must be the ‘naughty field’ at Duxford is it? 😀

The mound was a mixed blessing. Unfortunately its loss probably means that the crowd line at Duxford will host more of the step ladder and wind breaker brigade. 🙁

It’s a great shame. As a Mark One it has very little relevance in the states unless it was with Eagle Squadron (which it wasn’t) It was never flown by an American, no offence intended of course.
The fact we may never see it in the skies above Britain again is tragic. Which plane will we lose next I wonder?

Grumman Bearcats and Tigercats have little relevance to the UK, but I have still greatly enjoyed watching them fly here.

The warbird community is a world wide community, and while I will miss P9374, she will get to perform at some of the best airshows in the world, with a whole new audience. 😎

5. Explain the mechanism for bombs causing a widespread plume of Sarin to aerosol through a neighborhood but not ignite the gas, or degrade it?

You must have access to before and after aerial imagery to come to that conclusion, can you please share that?

There are plenty of Eurosceptics in the EU parliament, although many of them still support EU membership as they see it as the ‘lesser evil’ (for want of a better term). Unfortunately they are outnumbered many times by federalists, which is why anything passed down from the commission regarding further EU integration often gets the rubber stamp with little opposition save a few loud but meaningless objections from people like Nigel Farage.

The opposition for giving Britain a punishment settlement will come from the EU’s 30,000 corporate lobbyists, who won’t want trade barriers with a huge, important, and profitable market.

That doesn’t change the fact that he has a fleet of mockup aircraft made especially for this film, sat around doing nothing. It will happen i’m sure, but these directors often have very busy schedules.

And Peter Jackson was going to make a Dambuster film. Not holding breath then.

Considering Mr Jackson now owns a small squadron of full scale mockup Lancasters, and a single Wellington (no doubt costing several million), I would be very surprised if that doesn’t go ahead.

Will the lack of an air agreement, an open skies agreement, affect trade, businesses, movement to Europe and further afield to trade in this brave new world of ours? YES

A friend of mine has an Italian wife. She moved here for work, and has now settled here. They have two children. She flies home to see her parents maybe 4-6 times a year, they come here at least 3 times a year. Her brother lives in France, so she flies out there, he flies here, and he presumably flies to Italy too. So between them, they probably fly between them well over 20 times a year in Europe, just visiting family. Now try and extrapolate that by the many tens of millions who have moved all over Europe because of free movement.

There is a valid social and societal argument to be made for free movement, but environmentally it is catastrophic.
