Can a P51 prop be feathered when the engine is dead? Wondering why the prop wasn’t feathered in this instance?

Anyone know why the Me109-E didn’t display?
She was obviously expected as the programme clearly shows her as (potentially) attending.

I too enjoyed Headcorn. Sad the Twin Seat Buchon didn’t fly but made up for by the other displays. The Harvards at the end reminded me of Gary Neuman in the radial pair days.
Had a relaxed family feel to it much like North Weald or Biggin Hill.
Some nice shots of the BBMF Spit and Hurricane refuelling near the museum.
Yes, the P38 wing section was a little grim. But I guess it’s become part of aviation history in it’s own right.

Nice to see some exhaust staining, That will please the model makers (me included).
Perhaps they can leave it on for the weekend.

Isn’t the problem the RAF had at Dunkirk the same one the American escort fighters had over Germany.
That is, if you are over the beaches (or near the American bombers) you are tactically at a disadvantage and ultimately ineffective?
Good for morale, bad for tactics.

Those metal clips are often used on canvas bags or holdalls.
I used to have a vintage tackle box (possibly made from army surplus) made from canvas that had them.

Thanks for clearing up the Vampire Venom confusion (I think 🙂 )
At least I don’t feel so bad now getting them wrong.
