    Great news, keep us posted.

    Just been watching John Nichols programme. He’s a very jammy b.

    Great show though.

    Mike BH seems to show no animosity towards the CAA, even though they wouldn’t let him finish rebuilding G-BBD in the UK for its ferry flight.

    Great shame. Hope they are able to reconsider, if requested.

    You can watch this 5.5mb Windows Media video instead:

    The engine growl just as Robert Pleming starts to talk is what does it for me.

    Well, it’s still down.

    Just keeping the thread alive – but if anyone has any news would be happy to hear it.

    Coventry Aviation put many older prop-liners to work, and (used to) show them off every so often. Don’t know if their airshow is run any more.

    Yes, yes, I know, these don’t have props – but – well I think it shows that older aircraft can be run profitably.

    Apparently we’ll each get a free issue of FlyPast for every fifty sensible postings.

    Blimey, your gonna need a Galaxy to get your lot delivered!

    Has he a duel personality? – Nermal

    No – he’s simply registered Steve’s real name as his own username in leiu of the banned username Kittyhawk.

    He could have used titwillow or (if not used already) Tony Blair – which would probably have been more suitable!

    😉

    Next you’re going to tell me that you don’t put ice in your ice tea

    OMG – Ice in Tea – don’t let the little old ladies in this country hear you spouting such heresey.

    Lipton’s do some tinned thing, but it’s about as popular as biting your own toenails.

    :rolleyes:

    A Sea Harrier attack would have been great!

    An old warhorse doing it for an old warhouse – good idea.

    FRADU Hawks will still be used, I believe – although they’re privately owned, they’re still considered part of the FAA.

    I was thinking that the Navy should have finished her off with an air attack – Yeovilton & Culdrose both within easy reach.

    Then (or maybe before) a flypast by the RNHF. There were literally thousands of people there, would have been a great publicity coup.

    What a great opportunity they missed to show us all the Seahawk 😀

    Think you got the better shots though, Newboy. It was a little bit out of reach for my S5000, even with the 1.5 extension lens (15x Optical).

    Mind you, I got it on video too – and that’s quite nice.

    When I get time I’ll turn it into a wmf.
