    I’m guessing you have no footage of the FRADU Blue Herons Hunter team from IAT79? No-one else seems to 🙁

    Lt Cdr Matt Whitfield’s mentor on the CVIX was its former display pilot Brian Grant, so I think he deserves a bit of recognition for his part in Matt’s blossoming display career 🙂

    Hopefully Matt will get to fly the RNHF Sea Hawk this year also subject to serviceability.

    Keep up the good work with her – it’s a crying shame only ONE cockpit section survived and I’m sure that was mainly down to the close proximity of the then owner’s home to Stock.

    Kind regards,

    Hawker ISS Fury F-AZXL is due to appear apparently, as is Sea Fury T.20 N20MD one would assume!

    Check out http://www.dehavillandaviation.com/. Off the top of my head, displays at RNAS Yeovilton, RIAT, RNAS Culdrose, and Bournemouth are confirmed.

    Almost a P-51. It was this……a Jurca M-77 Gnatsum F-PANG, which I believe is powered by a 240hp Potez engine. It sounded superb as it made a low run down the runway on its arrival.

    It made a decent departure too….. 😀

    Passed a couple of microlights roadrunning today on the A34.
    I should be there, hoping for a few Chippies and Tiger Moths 🙂

    Does anyone have any FRADU Canberra images that they wish to share? 🙂

    Only reference to ejector seats……
    Do ejection seats in privately owned jet aircraft have to be armed for a CofA?.

    Yes they do in a JP Mk.5 and Strikemaster on a Permit to Fly.
    You used to get the option in the Mk.4 and possibly Mk.3 a few years ago, but that may have changed since.

    Strikemaster Mk.80A 1130 G-CDHB is based there, alongside JP Mk.5A XW355 G-JPTV and Mk.4 XR673 G-BXLO.

    Two of NL’s spares ships, stored in bits in the open; bit wrenching to see the ex-CWH F.58, Swiss AF J-4006, on the left…anyone know which Hunter the red and grey one is?

    S.

    XE587 suffered a mishap on its last flight when in previous ownership, so I presume was bought only as spares.
    Of course, it could be made airworthy again, but with the availability of ex-Swiss F-58s it would appear unlikely.

    More fots…

    ZZ191 perhaps just out of the paintshop elsewhere and playing at Yeovilton on 8th March 2007….
