    Well if one belted down the crowd line would you be able to tell which engine was in it?

    Yes I would. 🙂
    It’s not just the engine though remember, there’s the different prop as well which would change the look of the Fury on the ground.
    After Lee and the RNHF spent countless hours getting VR930 back in authentic colours, I doubt they would want to spoil the look with a R3350 and 4-blade prop, even if it did increase serviceability.

    Hopefully the damage this time won’t take as long to fix as it has in the past.

    oh ******. can anyone confirm who the pilot was?

    My sincere condolences to the family concerned…:( 🙁

    That I’m sure will be released when the time’s right.
    I was at the show, and the ground team deserve a lot of credit for organising the hundreds of cars that were trying to leave after the accident.

    The last FRADU Hunter sortie took place on 19th February 1995, in T.8C XF994/873.

    You can also get 150 gallon droptanks from Swiss stocks too.

    From what I understand some of the commercial aircraft will be open for viewing on the static line like the BMI Airbus and the Flybe EMB195 so things are looking good also the DC6 is going to be something to see from what I can make out.

    As always, the Em.195’s appearance is subject to serviceability. :diablo:

    I think that’s G-RNAC unless there’s another one about!

    No, the Wasp belongs to Kennet Aviation James.

    I believe that it’s being rebuilt somewhere in California.

    surely she’s a fury rather than sea fury as she has no wing fold

    I think she does have folding wings, though she’s always hangared at Hurn with wings spread.
    I’m sure whilst she was in store undercover at Kemble she was parked with her wings folded.

    It’s hard to believe that it’s now just over 17 years since WG655 had her unfortunate accident.
    I can still picture her flying overhead Yeovilton even now 🙁 (and no I am not watching the DVD ;))

    Wrong!!
    No she isn’t. XF995 is based at Scampton.

    Sorry, my information was bad/out-of-date! Many apologies 😮 🙁

    XF995 is based at Boscombe Down, under contract to the MoD.

    In that case surely it would have been a good idea to have a few members of the police or the parking team acting as traffic lights at the area, so that you wouldn’t have a free-for-all at that critical point. I mean letting 10 cars in each rotation of direction would have maybe reduced the wait for a lot of people.

    Reminds me of Farnborough 2004, when we were directed down a road that ended with a T-junction where you had to turn right to join another route.
    It was a nightmare, however the Police were there!

    …drinking tea and having a chat with each other.

    Some footage of the Scandinavian Historic Flight’s A26 is included on the backend of this clip (past the Hunters and Buccaneer!)…
