    to all of you involved in getting 558 back in the air, I have my fingers crossed for you and wish you every success. You deserve good fortune and blue skies after all the effort put in

    Well it is an AVro isn’t it 😉

    Of course if you typed Quentin Tarantino and Top Gun into Google you might change your views a bit……………

    Common Sense should surely prevail?

    Mention has been mad of Ray Hanna, well he didn’t die in an air incident and was, as several others are or will be, a legend. To add memories or experiences or influences to a thread for the future makes sense.

    To add condolence to a thread about a person one has not met or even heard of until the incident is pure saccharin. It might be more relevant to explain why you didn’t want to add your condolence.

    The differential between basic facts of what has happened in an accident and supposition is always a difficult call. In this time we are all hungry for the absolute and it isn’t always available “now” – let us learn to live with that.

    Final thought, write your post, read it, have a cup of tea, read it again and then post – might just make the difference between respect and ridicule.

    There is a fascinating wealth of information, pictures and experience to be shared here, don’t let us lose it by wasting effort where it isn’t needed 😉

    Another of Suffolks great little events. Mainly on the ground but with the added buzz mentioned above.

    A Wind Farm now has permission to be built here so this may be your last opportunity to see aircraft overhead at Parham.

    It’s all gone quiet, judging by the positioning maps they ain’t going to be at Duxford tomorrow, any predictions of arrival dates and times of arrival, I suppose in this naff weather it’s hard to work anything out.

    Not unless they arrive in a container anyway 😉

    Think you need to set your dateline don’t you?

    Are the Jet type things doing the usual fly in from Southwold direction? Usefully they fly over our house if they do that 🙂

    When IS that FW190 going to fly ?

    Might feel a bit intimidated by the Squadron of Spitfires parked up at the moment 🙂

    Spotted this on the ‘planes of fame’ site – putting two and two together, which I know you shouldn’t do but…..
    “Planes of Fame Air Museum is planning two very special events for Saturday, March 31st. P-38 ‘Glacier Girl’ will be here at the Museum as she is prepared for her trans-Atlantic flight this summer.”
    THAT would be very nice to see….

    In this day and age, a reminder can be sent by email. I know not every one has got his email listed, but am sure a lot have. That is a quick way to save a lot of money. Mhh and I work for a postal company.

    I believe Grayfly meant that the postage killer is the new rate for A4 size envelopes in which Fighter Log is posted.

    I understand talking to someone today that amongst other things the new system will make the process of subscription renewal notification more efficient and will trial the idea of email notification, where that information exists.
