If it’s warbirds you are looking for then Revival Festival in September is the better event.

This years Freddie March Spirit of Aviation enclosure is shaping up to be another outstanding collection and OFMC will be back to provide the Air Displays.

Plane Heritage will be operating the Tiger Moth, Rapide and Dove for pleasure flights again this year.

Hi Tim

Thanks for that, I wasn’t aware ACZE possibly wasn’t, or isn’t..!!

Tom.

G-AEML was the oldest pre-war Rapide still extant in the UK until it moved to Spain. G-ADAH at the Manchester Science Museum is now takes that title having being built in 1938 with the oldest flying example being the Millers 1941 built G-AGJG

Hope this helps.

Tom.

P.S, Watch the forum for more Rapide news…….

No Rapides at Halton either, so by process of elimination I think what you may have was DH.84 Dragon G-ECAN!

Tom.

I guess that explains the 4 Navy Jetstreams seen heading West over Aldershot towards Odiham around lunch time!

H-98 is the ex Irish Air Corps coloured machine.

H-99 is the new build from Classic Aero at Thruxton. Your’s for 1.5 million at Auction in April: http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=EUR&screen=carsRAFSpitfire

*cough* Market Saturation *cough* ?!

I’m not sure that would have been a direct cause of their problems. More likley a drop in revenue meaning they couldn’t afford to pay for staff, aircraft, hangarage etc. It’s also highly likely Delta wouldn’t have seen a penny of the vouchers sold through 3rd party sites like play or red letter days until after they had flown the voucher holder, creating a bit of a cash flow problem if Delta themselves were not selling many tickets.
