i agree with you when it comes to supporting old heavies, and yet i would love to see a vulcan fly. i would advise though, that anything with regard to a certain vulcan flying again would be a big can of worms to open, [B]yet again[B] everyone considers their favorite aircraft to be the one most deserving of support/ large donations. no one can say who deserves it more 🙂

is there anything left of “kee bird” or did they strip her for parts when they left?

i have to say that that sounds like it was one hell of an airshow, pity the english aviation industry has little to show for itself in the form of experimental aircraft anymore 🙁

still, even if they are ex buchons, Damiler benz engined 109’s are damn rare, even rarer if you are looking at real ww2 ones, draws me back to fond memories of black 6, i think i have video of the first time they started her up post restoration somewhere,:rolleyes: i seem to remember that initially they span the inertia start up too fast and she didn’t start, such a pity she was a gorgeous aircraft. these new build 190’s look like serious pieces of kit, whats the performance like compared to the original?

i would probably have said the MIG-25 “Foxbat” the americans got their hands on when Viktor Belenko defected in in 1976 🙂

the third aircraft is a bit too low! was anyone at brize norton family day a couple of years back when the vc10 did a flyby with full flap, and idle engines, as soon as he got overhead, flaps up and whacked the throttle forward? gazeebo’s went everywhere :D:D:D also heard about buccaneers in the american desert taking the tops of sand dunes with their wingtips they were that low! awesome 😀

the sad remains of a gazelle?:eek:
