Check out the Meteor Flight web-site for updates on the project, which seems to be getting closer and closer to completion.
I seem to remember seeing a video clip of a Scimitar sinking.
The pilots surname was Russell, and he was tragically killed in the accident.
Is this the company connected to Colin Allen?
He owned some JPs at Tatenhill, but had sold them all in the late 90s.
Since them he’s slipped off the radar.
Just received word about this today.
Condolences to both the crew’s families.
Couldn’t find any fots sadly. What is the Opening Times for the 26th October?
WV106 is stored outside dismantled, whilst WT121 is in store inside Cobham Hall complete.
I have fots of them somewhere, will try and dig them out…
A couple of mine from VLN, taken in 1999.
After my flight, I made my way to the time machine and went back 50 years. That annoying water tower must have travelled back with me!


















My thanks to all the RNHF and Fly Navy Heritage Trust team for such a great day, and to all the owners that brought their aeroplanes to Yeovilton.
I will be back next year should the event be repeated!
Thanks for looking.

“I ‘ate Barker, the lying b*****d!” 😀
Sorry to hear that as its also a good opp’ to view the JP.
Cheers…….
I know Dave. I was very much looking forward to meeting you and the red/white monster!
Maybe some other time if it doesn’t work out tomorrow?
Doesn’t look like I’ll be able to make it at the moment unfortunately due to family commitments, but circumstances might change tomorrow.
If I don’t make it, I hope the show is a success!
…and the Hunters 😉
So, big congrats to Thunder City for getting ‘693 back in the air, and not surprised to see KH wanting to be the first to get back into ‘693…. 😀
I don’t know for sure, but Keith may have ferried her to Exeter from Warton during December 1992. If he did do so, then the log-book would read nicely…
December 23rd 1992 – pilot Keith Hartley.
August 9th 2006 – pilot Keith Hartley
😀
Last year we were given the choice of what to fly in, we plumped for the Dragon.
What a machine!
I wonder which FAA Hunter ‘owned that rear fuselage?
Interesting 🙂
