red star

spoke to the crew who stripped the paint off 458’s tail and their was indeed a red star uncoverd…..so i am guessing it is indeed xs458

458

Without being pedantic wouldn’t it have been better if someone could say where the event is taking place and at what time to avoid looking up GOOGLE and finding out the cryptic meaning of the post.:confused:

I would have to assume [still] that we mean Cranfield in Bedfordshire

as the origonal message reads pm bocar for details….. 458 is kept at a caa run airfield and has limited places avalible, timetable is run by russell along with atc, and i am sure he would be happy to contact you with location and timetable as the events are not just open to general public, it is a rare chance to get up close and personal with the aircraft,the pilot and crew,
the sight ,sound and smell of this wonderfull aircraft are not to be missed and highly recomended,

the last time 458 was re-painted the tail was stripped back, that revealed lots of history and various markings that she wore, the code DY was found but no DX, and im quite sure a big red star would have been a talking point for all the ground crew as well as the very large CCCP on the engine cover,
so i would very much suspect the photo is indeed 452 and not 458 and the picture is defenatly not cranfield

27 june 2009

hi to all reading this note,russell is quite busy at the moment, but i am sure he will confirm this note as soon as he gets a chance, it is with regret the run planed for the 27 june will now be posponed due to a little technical problem that has developed, it is not too serious however it involves removing parts of the aircraft to gain access, unfortunatly this can not be done in time for saturday’s run
but please be assured the T5 team is working flat out to resolve this issue and XS458 will be fully serviceable for the july run, russell is busy contacting all the people who have booked up for the day, but as i said i am sure he will confirm this information as soon as he gets a moment:( sorry to the people who have booked from the T5 team
