*sighs* come on kids, why are we being cynical/pessimistic about this?
show of hands for how many wouldnt like to see this happen? constructive criticism is fair play but the rest, i cant see the need for :confused:
sballance i say go for it mate 🙂 id love to see her fly!!! all the best

there’s a leg lying around at the yard in brunty i think, if its not wanted… might be worth asking around?
If anyone wants to hear the sound of one of these beauts just put
B36 sound
into Google.
A few on there to choose from.
I remember them well coming out of Burtonwood at low level. Twas the highlight of my day when one passed over.
i like this quote from the website – B36 Sound Link
“This file is 666Kb, so while it is downloading you will have time to route your computer’s audio output to your stereo system. Add a small amount of reverb and crank it up. The full effect will be achieved at about 20,000 watts/channel, or at a level where breathing becomes difficult.”
:D:D:D:diablo:
There is also the fact that should a Lightning be allowed to grace our skies once more, it would take the pi$$ out of most of the RAF’s current fleet for speed!! Typhoon perhaps being the only exception, and maybe a clean F3 with empty fuel tanks and a tailwind!
I doubt showing up the RAF is a part of the equation really!
no you’re right, but it would be a lot of fun none the less :diablo:
nah, when i sent him the link he was just gobsmacked that she’d actually flown!!!
my uncle works for rolls royce in italy, and he was ADAMANT that 558 would never fly, due to engines…
I have heard similar…
all add her to the chrismas list … :rolleyes:
interesting indeed 🙂
Just out of interest
Which would be the candidates out of your 2/3 aircraft? 😀 (so i know which to buy in 10 years time :p)
ie, she was snapped (photo taken of?)
🙂
EPIC!!! i was really hoping it hadnt, my grandfather and i were planning to go and see her make a run at coniston (if she did 🙂 )
if you use the search function you’ll find that this has been discussed to death in the past
the short, but sad answer, is no 🙁
here’s a thread I started some while ago 🙂

obviously the quicksinker has sunk! 😀
anyone got any ideas as to price?
i know! i needed the link to show my dad, but what an achievement 24 hours and they built a servicable wellington bomber, that was delivered to its operational unit the same day they finished it
just breathtaking!
