As has been said many times on this forum Aerobatics are a non-essential part of a ‘warbird’ display, and if it enhances safety then so be it.
Whats more Duxford has to be seen as doing something to appease public opinion stirred up by misinformed newspapers ,TV reporters and clapped out Australian dykes who happen to live near by and get paid by a liberal broadsheet to write liberal columns.

Unfortunately I am told that the damage is quite serious.
The gear (not sure how much) was detached at the impact with the embankment and her ‘back seems to be broken’.This is the way it was told to me indirectly from a very good source, ie an e-mail from someone within Duxford.It sounds as if John Webb has done an incredible job of getting her down like this after first putting out his mayday call.
I doubt from this that we we see the Blenheim flying for some considerable time.
Please don’t shoot the messenger, I am telling you as it was told to me.

Moths were off to Woburn I would imagine for the Moth rally.

Tell me Flood, just what is it that you drink or smoke , or both??

At last I can post from home hubloodyra.
I would have the Bristol 188, sheer beauty but above al I would have to have the TSR2 and fly it around and around Dennis Healy’s house until he was well and truly F*****g deaf!!!!!!!!!!.
Teach those bloody Wilsonites a lesson.
You would never guess that I had just picked up a copy of Ray Sturtivants ‘British research and development aircraft, seventy years at the leading edge’ would you.
Its a terrible book because every time you open it you start weeping and dribbling on the pages, ruins its !!.
