Happy Birthday Graham, you kept that one quiet!

Thanks 🙂

Really glad to hear that there are some fast taxi runway visits planned in 2017 too. I will certainly make an appearance for those. I remember the ones a few years back with the Nimrod too, a real privilege to see and not something that you get to experience at many air museums.

Great Film, recommend.

Pete,
Can you give us some more info regarding whats on offer at this event. I am considering attending, but live several hours drive away, never been to Coventry before, and would like to know if this event is just the taxying of the Shackleton or is there a runway high power run, is there a museum area, other aircraft? Are there any confirmed aircrafts flying by/displaying at the event. Basically is the event going to fill a few hours, or 15 mins?

Hope you can help with this info.
Many thanks

J Boyle – and if you are referring to my recent forum post regarding an unidentified pilot grip, that post was made to allow people to pool their knowledge to help solve a mystery of the history behind an aviation artefact. It was not made to simply find out how much it can fetch on ebay. (It’s now currently being sold on ebay, but nearly a year after the original post was made, and for a start bid of 20 quid)

And just incase you were wondering I own a company that advertises with FlyPast, PC Pilot, Aeroplane, and Avion Revue and has done for many years.

Think before you type.

Never say never. And I can certainly say the way XH558 is being currently maintained is keeping the door open to future flight.
