    Nice Pictures. Particularly like the Hanger 11 formation. I think Mr T was at the control of the MkXI but does anyone know who the other pilot was in the Hurribomber?

    You should try and go next time I’m sure you would enjoy it. Very interesting and entertaining. And I’m sure someone would talk to you even if it is just the guessed speaker :diablo:

    I think it is getting harder to get the CAA approval for these A/C now. Maybe this is part of the reason for selling these rarer machine on? I am sure someone will confirm or contradict this.

    I will be a great shame to see this rare bird leave. Make the best of it before she goes

    There appears to be a small skull and crossbones on the nose when you enlarg the photo similar to Friday the 13th markings

    I am sure if Holywood remake the Great Escape movie and they include the model it would become a B17

    Spitfire

    I am sure I have see something recently on the TV that showed an almost complete fighter being raised from the murky depths that looked like it was a definite candidate for restoration. I think there was a bomber as well…….. Oh no wait that was the smirnoff advert :D:diablo:
    Would it be great if you could do that 🙂
