Didn’t catch much of today, but managed to turn up just as BBMF Spitfire PR.xix PM631 came over 🙂





I also got treated to another display by XH558 on Saturday, many thanks to Mr Withers et al for another stunning display!
I was sat in my back garden, south of York towards Elvington, and got treated to a 15 minute Airshow by Avro Vulcan XH558. Fantastic stuff!

It would probably help with the cold temperatures the crews were facing.
“aesthetics” don’t matter a bit with a combat aircraft, only with “all show no go” art displays.
If you don’t enjoy the aesthetics of aircraft, you’re probably on the wrong forum.
They got the aerodynamic shaping correct, that’s the important part… and it still looks much prettier than the Eurofighter Typhoon.
why are you involving Typhoon? I was comparing Dassault products, there’s no denying that the Rafale is ugly compared to the Mirage Delta line.
Actually, now that you’ve involved Typhoon, I’d say it looks like a evolution of the stunning mirage line.
JZA – I think the Mirage 4000 whilst never entered service had the edge on the IV !
I love the 4000, but still prefer the IV (just)
Shame they got the aesthetics so wrong on the Rafale 🙁
It’s getting a move, I know that much…
Hopefully indoors.
Was nice to have a walk around inside the Dakota today 🙂
My 20 year plus relationship with the museum is about to change, as my sister and soon to be brother in law will be the first people to get married there, which will be in September. Can’t wait 🙂
The NHS isn’t safe, Tories or no.
It simply isn’t sustainable in its current form.

That’s welcome news 🙂
Easily the best looking French aircraft of all IMO.
Just been for a wander around the museum today, have you any idea if the Javelin will be receiving some attention soon? The corrosion around the intakes is starting to look pretty serious 🙁
Bringing this back from the dead, I was at the Yorkshire Air Museum today, and overheard someone saying that there is a Mirage IV coming to Elvington, but it’s currently in storage in France. Is there any truth to this?
Did any of you catch the impromptu display by XH558 at the weekend?
XH558 was giving a display near Elvington yesterday, didn’t see it myself but have seen the video. They were certainly putting her through her paces!
The RIC ‘protestors’ acted like the brownshirts of the SNP in my opinion and I suspect Wee Eck was highly pleased with what happened….
You can see the nasty smirk on Salmonds face during following interviews.
