You can do it with a Merlin or a Griffon as well, I have, oops. Over primmed and a full set of flames from all twelve exhausts..

I’m all in favour of revising/updating history, however I’m against selective revision.Sadly this is whats happening. That is whats wrong….

Moocher – there are probably more than thirty active projects with FlyPast
Forum members as a minimum – do you want accurate reports on how all these projects are going as it could run to quite a bit of forum bandwith!

i don’t care what you do, i’m just fed up with the constant bleating and knocking down of the vulcan boys.

i can’t wait until it does fly, and then watch the bleaters congratulate themselves for a job well done and how wonderfully supportive they were to this project.

and just as an aside – be very carefull who you berate on this forum. you never know who is connected to who and which flying aeroplane.

my aeroplane is doing very well thank you, flying at displays most weekends.

mick or is it avros finest ? only i know 🙂

I don’t think he likes us over there either. No disrespect to the man but working with people who know him, I personally give him a wide birth when at Oshkosh. I am not on my own.

He is a living legend whatever my or anyone elses opinion.

As you say, an opinion only. I’ve met him twice and I can honestly say he is so full of himself.

As to legend status I should think it is built upon and fuelled by his own ego.

Now there’s a question, what has happened to all the old engines that used to be stacked up along the width of the old Superhangar? Have they made a new display out of them?

Don’t ask duxford, they don’t know where they are either, they don’t even know what engines they have or where the log cards are.

The Sept 2006 Duxford show had all four currently airworthy 2 seat Spitfires attend. Unfortunetly the Saturday saw such high cross winds that the final Spitfire balbo was scrubbed and on the Sunday PT462 was unable to take off at the time of the display so only 3 flew (IAC161 as was, MJ627 and ML407) within the main formation.

Be nice if someone at Duxford could have another go at getting all 4 in the air together as a 4 ship – Hint! It would still be a first.

They find it hard to do things like that. It’s not up to Duxford, It’s up to the owners of the aeroplanes.

Hey, I’ll let you into a secret. We’re gonna have some weather at the weekend…
