I agree. The disc was in my stocking christmas morning. Shame it doesn’t have any extras on it, but I still have my dvd if I want to watch them.

Yeah i bought myself a copy i was amazed at just how good it did look. My guess there will be a 70th anniversary commemarative disc to mark the BOB anniversary.
i’d be well up for staying on it would be cool to have a flighline area opened up with the aircraft light up in the twilight etc.. Eastbourne last year did an evening display on the Friday and by all accounts it was very sucessful.
…………it might be too late for that!
Who knows maybe its some good news:rolleyes:
Any idea when this announcment that was mentioned is due???
The latest update is in:
Found some air to air shots from the last flight of the US one:
Something between £2/3million has been tossed around for the cost of a respar, as well as the cost of a hangar and certified engineers to carry out the work. its a BIG job!
eeeeek yeah a big job indeed. What about the one in the US?
We have a huge amount of spares for 963′ the problem in getting her back into the air is the lack of readily available funds
having sat outside for 20 years she is in dire need of TLC which we are doing our absolute best to do, but she needs a lot of work and there arent many of us available to work on the old girl 🙁
As I understand it the CAA is happy for us to fly her again, but she will need pulling apart and completely resparring
we need a LOT of money to do it, but i dont think getting her flying again has been completely given up on
Yeah i’d imagine its a big job to sort, i’d love to see on in the air.
Its a big ask to say the least.
UK’s only shot at getting a Shack flying again…

Interesting thanks for that. It would be amazing to see her flying at some stage.
The show I would like to see come back was one that was on BBC2, it was called The Air show and presented by Julian Tutt. They have the perfect presenter to bring it back now in James May.
Oh yes i remember that, it would be great to see it come back.
Would be great to hear such a fantastic sound in the air once again.
I really hope one does make it back to the skies.
What a lovely noise she looks very impressive in the air very graceful.
Fascinating stuff all these hidden wrecks around the UK. Interesting topic.
Yeah its shaping up nicely, not to mention flying legends should be pretty special to.
Rich I thought I heard that Berlin Express had gone to Biggin Hill but maybe its just my old brain cells playing up
Initially to Biggin and then they were both pictured in Switzerland, speculation it was for the Mustand film.
