    RE: Kingcobra crash at Biggin Hill last year

    From my understanding he got into difficulties, recovered, flew a few passes, then decided to try the failed manouver AGAIN.
    The display organisers who witnessed the first failed manouver tried five times to contact ATC to get the pilot to abandon his display but due to a break in communication this didn’t happen.
    If you read the report the control surface deflections were in a position that would induce a spin (intentional?) they were not in the position normally associated with a controlled manouver??
    Perhaps I read the report wrong (will re-read it).

    Is this a genuine `error` though?
    Seems the aircraft got into difficulties twice?

    RE: S-Sugar-Going Up!

    The idea was that when you looked from the gallery she appeared to be flying, at one point there was a movie behind her of clouds moving. Still think it looks silly though!

    RE: Hawkinge

    Just my two pennys worth.

    I’ve never been to Hawkinge, is there much of significance surviving?
    Always thought Tangmere was more representative of a BoB station and merits preservation, still retains it’s buildings in good condition and has a museum. People go there and come away having learned, experienced something.

    Just because an airfield is bulldozed doesnt mean that it shouldn’t support some kind of memorial. Take Stapleford for example. The memorial and surrounding area reaks of Mustangs, it meant something to me and I don’t remember the airfield.

    I don’t believe saving something for the sake of it.

    RE: Best preserved UK airfield

    IMO Biggin Hill.
    It just has this aura about it that screams Hurricane / Spitfire.
    Still retains some E type revetments and of course the Airshow.

    RE: Do you think travllers really care who they travel with ?

    As a travellor who as flown with British Airways, US Airways, Delta and Continental I have to admit that they are all much of a muchness. Same sad looking stewardesses, same cramped conditions, same boring food. Personally I look at flying as necessary boredom to get from A to B and travel as cheap as possible. One thing I don’t understand though is why the hell don’t they ever put any decent films on!
