Have any of the other people in the picture been identified?
You might be able to trace that man from those around him?

I found some good “before’ and “after” pics here, hope they aren’t duplicated elsewhere here,, one pic has a P47 sitting on a beach in France,,,

That site appears genuine but may have a virus or other malicious software on it.
Keeps redirecting to a suspicious java looking download page.

So could a squadron of Mosquito’s fly high and fast enough to avoid German fighters in daylight?
If caught they could jettison their bomb and dogfight?

Lets hope for 10 or more years incident free flying this time.
She’s been under rebuild for 33 years all told!

Yeah, have to admit being a Vulcan fan that since it was demobbed it’s displays are a little less – noisy.
No earth quake, no whaling.
It’s also a lot more unreliable.
A victim of it’s own success. Those that remember the 80’s remember those earth quaking take offs (with low cloud cover) at Weald and are disappointed.
Those that attend a show to see her and she goes `tech` equally disappointed.
Most people just attend the shows they like and hope the Vulcan is there.
Now, if she could make more noise and was definite to actually display you might see the Vulcan effect.
Or just stand next to the VC10 at Brunty with your eyes close and pretend.

If we ask nicely would the owner paint her in Royal Navy colours?
Surely the only true Phantoms were flying from the Ark Royal!

That’s good news. I didn’t particularly want the expense of RIAT and now that the Vulcan isn’t attending I have the opportunity to see her at another venue.

Horses for courses but you can’t deny that a Lightning at full burner is pretty awe inspiring.
