RE: XV474

Let’s hope the Leuchars Phantom goes to Yeovilton when its time is finally up on the gate at Scotland.

Kemble is that far from Swindon I’m sure, if that’s any help.

RE: Save a Sea Vixen

Is this one of the Vixens ‘discovered’ in a hangar at Southampton Airport years ago?

Couple of corrections – the Venom is owned by Kennet Aviation, along with one of the two Wasps that participated (the camoed example).
I thought the Spit V was flown very sedately myself, but still a very tight routine. Liked the Hunter Flying Club Hunter PR.11 and the Vixen, but being ex-FRADU aeroplanes I would 🙂

RE: Seafire LF Mk.III RX168

BWEM indicates that it was registered around 1995-6 I think, bearing in mind that some of OFMC Hunter are registered G-BWFR and ‘BWFS.

Nice to see if it gets rebuilt to fly – I’m not sure if the Wizzard aircraft (I think that is a Mk.3) will remain in the UK for very long, if it hasn’t already left.

RE: Just …

I was reading ceefax on BBC1 at my sister’s house and the words “we are going over to the BBC News Room” caught my attention.
Switched back to the TV and they showed footage of the towers.
