Ah thats a real shame. I do know what you mean though about it no being the same since Ray and Mark.
Still its a shame that it is no longer the booming aircraft operator it once was
Well im definately under 50, I know that for sure.
Glad to be of some amusement Roy;)
I just thought about 3 Lancs flying in the UK and little bit of wee came out…..
Buy an airfield, with a grass strip. Get 2 hangers built on it (In a Shuttleworth style). Then set about buying a Bearcat, Sea Fury, Spitfire MK 19, Mustang, P 40 and p 63 for starters:p Then build the collection up from their (I would ove to have some WW1 and classic jets as well, Meteor, Hunter etc) and eventualy open it to the public and start running annual airshows.
Naturally I would learn to fly first….lol:rolleyes:
Ooooo….I would also finance bringing the Canadian Lanc over for at least one airshow…… and give money to the Sally B fund…
wow I should have money……:p :p
Fair enough. admittedly I had no idea of the amount of work that had to be done. Still, its great ot have another rare spit in th UK
So will it take part in the 2008 season? I think Flying Legends would be the perfect setting for the affor mentioned 2 seat formation;)
Thanks alot Spade Grip. Fantastic news all round then really:)
Sorry to sound like a complete nonce, but was this the MK. 1 that was airworthy a few years ago, or is this a totally new restoration? If so does that mean there are now 2 MK. 1s in the UK?:confused:
oo oo oo I forgot one…. Glacier Girl, if she makes it across the seas.
That in a formation with the 2 p 40s and p 63 would be amazing do you not agree:cool:
Flying Legends, to see the 2 Gladiators and TFCs P 40B.
Also seeing the Vulcan. I have never seen a Vulcan in the skies so that will be a thrill to say the least.
Plus it will be interesting to see who throws on what for the RAF Anniversary
Thanks for the help guys:)
Damn! Was there alot of work needed on it then?
Ah Duxford is one of 2 happy places. But i have to say that I do miss seeing the Tigercat…..I almost shed a tear the day that left for the states….MORE CATS STEPHEN!!!
How did u manage to get so close to the runway Yakk 11.. Or am i just being stupid and your using some kind of enormous zoom lol
