    If Tone and his merry men at number 10 can fund the work which is going on in a hangar a Coventry to grate expence to keep the Lancaster PA474 in the air for a number of years to come.
    Why not support a Shackleton as well, we are only asking for British Aviation to be kept alive with suppot from the Government who hold the purse.
    If some of you out there have not worked it out where did the Shack after all come from yes a modified Lancaster.
    So Tone get on the street and do some fund raising for a project to keep the only airbourne example where it belongs in the air flying over the U.K.

    I think you will find its because the RAF still own the Lancaster !

    The North Weald photo bus………Ahh such memories! This bus was used before the flying display started and I think they stopped running at the start of the display. They were used to let people get to the live side aircraft.
    I think a change in the law put an end to such things as RIAT stopped there busses around the same time.

    Stop deluding yourself. The cobra has absolutely no tactical value whatsover. You try a cobra in battle and you’ll end up deader than hell. The USAF hasn’t changed their tune as you suggested. But nobody ever said it’s not a nice trick to show in an airshow. There’s nothing special about a cobra manuever anyway.

    “Most of the maneuvers were developed for dogfighting,” Moga said. “They just happen to look pretty neat and show off the plane’s unique capabilities.”

    Well it does say most!

    It does not matter what country they are from or aircraft as they all have to fly within set regulations.
    That is why there have not been any major crashes at a UK airshow for quite some time.

    I thought the USAF considered the cobra as a parlor trick and of no tactical value? just goes to show how things can change! Especialy now they finaly have a plane that can do one.
    Still can’t wait to see one.

    I couldn’t agree more !

    Pity you cant make legends but im sure it will appear at other shows…RIAT springs to mind as one of its themes is the 50th aniversary of the formation of the USAF

    if glacier girl does fly over, it seems a wee bit risky for such an expensive peice of machinery. i was gonna say such an old bird, but i suppose most of the parts used were pretty new and refurbished when restoring it.:p

    I think that the whole idea is to complete the delivery flight. It was on its way here when it crashed. Rather like the CAF sending the B-24 over in the 90’s. And dont forget it was done many times with many different types in the war so it is posible.
    Personaly I am keeping everything crossed in the hope it happens!!!

    I brought mine from 7day shop for around £17 (1gig) although I have a feeling they were cheaper and they are great. I have had no problems and I have had them for nearly a year . They have had a lot of use and no problems so far !!!

    I like that one to!!
    I think it just comes down to preference as to change a colour you add another. The colour opposites are as follows-

    cyan(blue) – red(bright)
    yellow – blue(purple)
    green – magenta(deep red)

    The colours in the brackets is how they look to the eye.

    The yellow cast is caused by the halogen effect from the sun.I am not sure if you will get the colours right as you are adding blue to get rid of the yellow and so this is adding another colour cast. It looks more purple but trust me its blue!
    To be honest I like it the way it is.
    Hope this helps!
