Quick question. Why is everyone moaning about this show?

I do not see everyone moaning – by and large the comments are very positive about the show

We go on about it for months in advance and when its come and gone you moan. It is so pathetic of you guys, you should be greatful.

Legends is the pre-eminent warbird show in Europe, however it is a commercial event that is presented to the paying public so the concept that people should be ‘grateful’ seems to be stretching things a little. If the show is good enough, as it always is year after year, people will come and pay to see it, its as simple as that.

Many people work hard to get Legends up and running and it has always been, in my eyes, a success. yes I get annoyed about wind breaks and umpires chairs but I choose not to share with others because its been done before on here as I am now well aware that what we go to Legends for should not be taken for granted.

Agreed but that appreciation should not stiffle any comments or criticisms. The people who put on this fabulous event are not delicate wall-flowers unable to cope with the slightest criticism. They appreciate your applause and positive comments but are intelligent enough to deal with any sensible negative comments too. I can say that from experience, having worked as a volunteer for the organisers (TFC) on eleven consecutive Legends (1996 – 2006)

Moderators is not your job to control the amount of sniping and bickering which goes on here? If so then I believe a little self moderation could be used 😉

Come on – its a discussion forum in a free country for goodness sake 🙂

The markings before the camoflage surprised me also, as this was different than how MK959 was done….

My recollection was that was exactly the same way 959 was done – check your old pictures 😉

Interesting photos – obviously the water is murky and the aircraft has been down there for decades but the fusealge roundel looks like what we refer to as a Type C1 today (ie: thin Yellow and White rings). This was not generally introduced until May 1942 yet the aircraft was lost in 1940? :confused:

This one for Lee Howard perhaps – but did the Royal Navy use a similar roundel back in 1940, the RAF certainly did not.

Hi VoyTech – your PM inbox is full! 🙂

I think he means this http://www.glennhcurtissmuseum.org/museum/restoration.htm

Would it be achievable in the squadron workshops?

No.

When was the last time a P-51 flew the Atlantic under her own power, please?

Possibly G-SUSY, flown over for Charles Church by Jack Shaver, mid 1980’s. Anders Mustang also flew across but earlier I think.

Glad you like the paintscheme though

Me too – a little appreciation makes my 0.01% of the job seem worthwhile!
