    I think his missus is having one of those “please kill me” moments.

    That would explain that then. Both vehicles would have been 06 or 07 plate.

    Facebook comments speculate a BF109-E? over Canterbury.
    Can anyone confirm.

    Maybe the Lanc being out this year has helped cast the limelight on the fighters.
    It is BoB 75th after all.

    I wanted to add an additional comment.

    One of the reasons for emissions checks is the statistic that x number of people die due to diesel produced particulate emissions.
    I accept that as being accurate.
    However alone this statistic is meaningless. Can we ascertain how many peoples lives are enriched, eased, helped by diesel engines and
    how many people are now alive because of the internal combustion engine?
    In other words life was a lot harder (physically so) and stressful without the car than with.

    I used to own a VW Passat and an Audi A3.
    Both of these, at certain times, would produce a lot of smoke under acceleration. Both these vehicles were less than 3 years old,
    the Audi was brand new.
    I now own a Mondeo diesel which produces no smoke.
    Are Ford engines better?

    What’s the criteria for a land speed record?
    Can’t they just bolt it to rails. Be a lot safer.

    We live in a multi-racial and multi-lingual Britain. Like it or not, it is not the nation of Queen Victoria where we hang monkeys on suspicion of being French.

    Wasn’t Victoria German, or at least her Albert was?
    Immigration doesn’t bother me. I just don’t get a feeling the government has control over what is happening.
    I wish we could get some actual facts.

    Do the CAF still operate two C46’s ? Always liked that plane.
