I am planning a DRIVE to this event from Scotland,but it’s very weather dependent,and not looking good as I type.

I’ve seen the pics from previous events,and been yearning to go for years,but it’s a long way for a soaking,if you see what I mean. Plus,if weather bad,there won’t be any aircraft!

Not much of an optimist are you?

I thought it’d been restored to the UK register since it’s cancellation…

It has.

Just for clarity – we are talking about ‘Little Gransden’.

They will certainly be watching developments with a keen interest, particularly in the area of ‘excepted aircraft’.

Tom Wise also happens to be a director of ‘Warbirds of America’ and the person responsible for warbird ground operations at Oshkosh!

Dear Tom Wise,

I am writting to request your support in a major issue that is about to affect the UK preservation of flying vintage aircraft. Under new European insurance legislation (see link), there is a significant increase in the amount it will cost to operate vintage aircraft such as the UK’s last flying example of the B-17 bomber, as they are being classified alongside commercial airliners. Having used these historic aircraft to free our so called European friends, they now seem intent on grounding them. This weekend see’s the celebration of VE day at Duxford airshow in Cambridgeshire, and the B-17 has been withdrawn from flying at this event as a direct result of the increased costs. Surely this should not be the case?

I would welcome your support on this issue, as would the many thousands of individuals who attend airshows around the UK. Airshows are not as popular in Europe, as here in the UK, so how can they understand the needs of the UK? An excemption to this European law is required, before its to late.

Perhaps the ‘Flight Sim’ section – that covers historic too.

Surely this is as much, or more, to do with the premium being charged by the UK insurance company than the legislation itself. If the ‘risk’ is no greater than it was before why are they charging so much more?

Aon, for example, provide free insurance for the ‘The Grace Spitfire’ as their sponsorship contribution. One reason my corporate insurance is from Aon.

No two sets (or ten sets) of drawings will be the same. It seems the differences are pretty minimal anyway, why not take an average line? Will the slight differences be noticable – I doubt it?
