my better half winning us tickets for Selby Game Fair via a certain York radio station! That’ll reduce the raping and pillaging my wallet was due to suffer this coming weekend 🙂

Edit….
Edit….
No need 🙂 I Chose to do the job! Ive also edited my earlier posts to (hopefully) be less offensive.. 🙂
Out of the other lancs in the uk which one if money was available would be prime to be returned to the air?
Ie least cost etc.
Im sure I read somewhere that the duxford lancaster was almost completely rebuilt with the idea that if PA474 crashed, it would be next in line? 🙂
😮 Ive just re read this…. apologies, It was right at the end of my shift and after having dealt with several extremely emotionally testhing jobs last night that almost reduced me to tears I needed to vent a little 🙁 last night. Officers from my radio talkgroup had to deal with a car crash where two people carriers had smashed into each other – three parents, two 7 year old children and a baby, dead. My job is stressful at times, but last night was the second time Ive cried as a result of what I was dealing with.
I will do my absolute best to kerb emotional posting and I have edited my earlier posts.
Ben, everyones entitled to their own opinion in the for or against the lanc flying.
I cannot see why “personally” it would be a bad thing? :confused: I suppose at the end of the day what the owner wishes to do is his perogative? If he/she wants to inject a fortune into making it one step better then im all for it 🙂
If it wasnt for the efforts of the pantons kirkby wouldnt be what it is today and 611 would have probably rotted into obscurity by now.
I suppose im reall of the opinion – you buy something and spend a small fortune on it – at this point you’ve earnt the right to criticize others and what they do with theirs.
You buy it, you can do what you like with it 🙂
Your argument falls down on the basis that if you take most historic aircraft to be similar, none should ever fly – the P61 under restoration to fly in the us, fantastic achievement, one of only four in existance. Should it fly? definitely 🙂 If it can and is capable of doing so then I totally think that it should fly.
The original FW190 that has recently flown again (real one) Should it fly? well if the owner wants to spend a small fortune on restoring it to fly then its entirely up to him.
NX611 is not an irreplaceable aircraft, she may be special, but she isnt unique or irreplaceable – There are plenty of other lancaster survivors about
What could “Personally” be sad about her flying?
I really cannot for the life of me understand the mentality of some people? What could be better than 1 flying lancaster? Two flying lancasters?
There are several in museums dotted around the country and the rest of the world.
Imho when you own an aircraft, its your choice as to what you do with it, wether you want to let the public play in it or not is your choice.
I honestly Cannot wait – Two lancs flying together with Sally B? A whole flight of spitfires/hurricanes and mustangs 🙂 Sign me up
People astound me sometimes
Its being done as we speak lol
well with an aircraft carrier the situation is different.
Relative to the aircraft carrier – V = 0 for the aircraft
however “V” relative to the air around the aircraft etc will depend on how much wind there is and how fast the aircraft carrier is travelling – this would then be deducted from speed of rotate :nod:
Its a very difficult question to get your head around I find – When I first read it I was exactly of the same opinion ad VX it took a LOT of arguing and debate until I realised how I was wrong lol
