Aircraft wise I wouldnt like to say, not too hot on the medium size birds, but could Italy be an option perhaps? Bex

You made me smile.
Bex,
I agree a dented rocker cover is not much for Pete after rebuilding the engine on his site.
Ollie I reckon Pete will probably just laugh at the dents and ask for something harder to work on LoL Bex
They’ll never run ,the rocker covers are all dented.
Have a look at MerlinPetes website, coz having read the site myself I reckon if Pete gets his mitts on it he will have it on a ground rig running in no time!! If he and his mates can get a an engine that was full of clay and god knows wot else running then a few little dents wont worry him LoL Bex 🙂
fine sense of humour, take it u guys forgot the weetabix that morning then LoL Is the 2nd missile the same as the first just in a lot more bits or is it a different one? Bex
Thought I flew this pretty low ! B17 cutting the grass 100 BG THORPE ABBOTTS
cool video, and how many times did u give ya belly gunner a sore backside before u got it right?LoL. Bex
Gratuitous Canberra (because there hasn’t been a cranberry pic on here for yonks)
Les, as far as Im concerned u can post as many Cranberry pics as ya like…. ok so Im biased folks. The missile looks amazing, I look forward to seeing TB2.
Rob….. er Plan B? is that u guys have a Plan B or is it Plan B is still on the drawing board? Bex

It is the pre war Finnish airforce insigna.
The swastika has a long history before Uncle Adolf caught up with it!

Great photo’s of some classics. I want a Jungmeister!!!!Rgds Cking
Cheers Cking, I knew that Uncle Adolf borrowed the Swastika, but for all my reading of Military History I had no idea the Finns used it too. Hmm better bury the old noggin back in the books LoL. Bex
Thanks for sharing the amazing photos, out of the 3 aircraft Ive seen a Fury before but not the other two. One question though, why has the Viima got what look like Blue Swatikas on it? Bex
Those compatible items Jag, should one assume theyd still be classified too? Thats something thats intriguing me too. With the retirement of the Jags etc will there be anyway a Jag will be able to fly without certain items?
I’m sorry, i thought this was a thread/discussion about surplus Jaguars 😮
I’ll go fall on my sword or something…….
.
Dave, didnt mean to sound like me havin a go, so please dont argue with ya sword, im led to believe that might smart a wee bit. I think one of my earlier posts said it best, brain on strike etc LoL 😀
Really ? Where have you seen Jaguar parts for sale then ? And for what Jaguar projects ? Only a very small number of Jaguars have yet passed into the private market that i’m aware of..
Firstly apart from my mistake about airframe materials the rest of my comments have been generalisations, not exactly Jag specific. I was actually refering to the RAF & scrappies. GAM has a Jag of sorts, although it is a little unwell.
As for preserved flying Jags in the future, unless the CAA is dragged kicking & screaming into the 21st century there is no hope. Ok so theyve finally allowed 558 to go airbourne, but whose to say those old farts will allow “modern” fast jets back up into the air.
I may get my head ripped off for this next comment, but most of the instruments are then bought by other dealers who hike the prices even more which means people who genuinely want parts to present a credible exhibit or their own private project end up paying a flipping fortune for items all said and done should have been there in the first place. Bex
Ok last correction was due to lack of knowledge, er this ones down to brain on strike, its the wrong kind of wind and just plain ol having a stupid day!!!!! Bex
