RE: Message for Mr. Russ Snadden

Just to say the points in my previous mail are not my own, i was merely relaying some of the things that were being said at the time.
I was not there on the day, but did have a running commentary as it happened as a very good friend was at the M11 end talking to me on his mobile at the time, ironically gloating at the fact that i was at home unable to go!.
That same friend knew people in the Black 6 team and assisted with photos in the investigation, so the feedback he was getting may have been some unfound bitterness from people involved at the site of their pride and joy in a damaged state.

RE: Message for Mr. Russ Snadden

Valid points Ant, and perhaps i was a tad harsh on AVM Sir Allison.
But those in the know at the time were saying that Charlie Brown was due to take the flight and was outranked by AVM Allison.
Charlie Brown of course having far more and recent experience on Black 6.
There was also a conspiracy theory around at the time.Thus that the intention was to ‘damage’ Black 6’s DB605 ‘safely’ during the last display so as she was no longer flyable anyway.The MOD would then say that although they may have considered an extension of her display life the unfortunate mechanical damage precluded this.
AVM Sir John Allison is now flying some of the Shuttleworth collection, lets hope that he is able to read much older instruments.

RE: Message for Mr. Russ Snadden

True, true, but that was always the MOD’s intention.
However you have to wonder what their decision would have been had Black 6 not had such an ‘unfortunate’ accident.It was interesting that the report just quietly slipped into the archives, nothing to do with one of the ministry’s most senior chaps being the pilot(who just happened to select the wrong radiator setting) by any chance.
Oh synical me !!

RE: Favourite airshow moment? (So far!)

OOOOH too many to mention.
Most of mine are generic rather than specific events, but here’s a few:-

The (albeit lose) formation of Sally B,Pink Lady and PA474 at Wroughton some years back.
The first time a Bear arrived at Fairford.
The first time i saw Concorde out of Fairford -1967(not airshow i admit)
The first time a B2 arrived (flyby) at Mildenhall.
The first time i saw the Blenheim post restoration flight.
Sea Vixen Foxy lady’s first airshow appearance at Duxford last year.

Anytime XH5588(or any other Vulcan for that matter)lets the brakes go, rolls and rotates.
Ditto Lightning.
A number of Merlins in the air and NO PA.
NO PA !
Anytime i arrive at Old Warden.
When my name came over the PA at Old Warden as the winner of the Magister flight last year.
Anytime i arrive at Duxford.
Fridays at Faiford in RIAT park and View.
When the sun comes out.
ETC, ETC,ETC,ETC,
Phil.

RE: Aircraft identification required please

RE: Aircraft identification required please

David,
Of course it is, i should have realised that staight away, particularly having seen it at Shuttleworth (in a very pale scheme ?).
It was probably the blue colour that threw me here.
Thanks anyway.
