Interesting comment, though if you have read any of the statements from the Panton brothers, you would realise that the work that will be carried out to get her airworthy again is to be entirely funded by them

Well if it’s VC-10s you want to watch, bring your biscuits and tea making skills here, you will see them perform in a far sportier fashion than at Brize.

If you had met any of the locals from the villages surrounding brize… you would understand :p

That said I was there one families day where one of the Vicky tens did a low pass, full flap basically on the glide. got overhead and let it rip, i seem to remember a gazeebo going flying :diablo: im sure someone got the butt seriously chewed out for that 😀

Sounds even better!!! Guinness is always good 😀

you and I will get on just fine 😀

all this talk of cake and tea is boring lol

How about i bring the beer? 😀

558 has 201 series engines and howls, 655 has 301 series engines and does not howl. no point argueing with me cos im right. 😀

she obviously speaks a different language :diablo:

Its surprising, i was sure ive heard 655 howl before! not as loud as 558 but i could have sworn ive heard her howl

To be honest it always makes me suspicious, when at athe 11th hour, there always appears a generous extremely rich benefactor who wishes to remain anonymous….

Hi there, that sounds fascinating! Is it a problem that i cant speak a word of portugese?

What costs would be involved?

Many thanks

Ben

come on guys, rich is a sound chap. He is one of the few people dedicated to looking after WR963 at coventry, he comes from nottingham every thursday to spend a few hours out in the cold with the rest of us.

I think perhaps like me he often gets over enthusiastic, a trait that far too many people regard as something bad.

Now then back to the black hole that is XH558 😀
