    TFC updates

    For thse who check out the TFC diary our last update was 24th February HERE: http://fighter-collection.com/cft/tfc-diary/

    The software that ports updates from the diary to Bookface doesn’t readily do so with pictures so we have disabled it until we find a solution.

    With the excellent coverage here on Flypast we don’t always see what we can add during the quiet months in the hangar.

    As and when information is officially confirmed we will let you know as soon a s we can. Judging by the forward sales of tickets including Gold Pass you are all expecting a vintage Legends 🙂

    ……. that what we see are the ludicrous interpretation of the misguided precautionary principle. We see this stupidity all around us every day with hi-vis clothing and hard hats mandatory even though the public are in the same place, EON not able to service my gas boiler because the engineer needed to be 18 inches off the ground I kid you not. Its not the HSE, its plain stupidity and ridiculousness.

    All it is leading to is a population incapable of judging risk, and ultimately we are past the point of reducing risk and accidents to a point where people expect no risk or danger in anything they do and so don’t see danger as we once did. And as a result we see a new bread of idiot emerging into the world.

    plus 1

    Hangar explosions two separate days, aerial footage of airfield attack then shot on subsequent Sunday. From an action pov no need for full destruction of Hangar. Possibly structurally unsound after failed session so what would you do? Failed rebuild not really cricket old boy.

    All history really. Given Pinewood studios thirst for action sequences DX got off pretty lightly really.

    I hear that 3 of the TFC fighters had tecnical problems today. I know the guys will sort it.

    I left at 17:30 and most issues were pretty much sorted. Nothing to serious. Busy day for the guys in the hangar again so will tomorrow and Friday be as well.

    If we get time we’ll run a diary article on this week in Fighter Log or FofTFC members pages after the rush is over – you might just be surprised – it won’t be this week though!!

    These old planes really respond to some positive vibes so if you are on the airfield tomorrow or Friday give the planes (and engineers) a cheer – they will really appreciate it 🙂

    Been a hectic Tuesday at Duxford, I am sure DCW will have the full picture diary up later on. In the mean time, and to avoid repeating ourselves there are as it happened posts from Duxford on the TFC diary c/w a snap of P-38 in the hangar tonight. Just click HERE
