Beautiful.

An excellent read, thank you. Nice website too.

I can appreciate that Father’s day is a problem for some, but we enjoy taking my Dad (and Mum) along with us.
No cockpit to display, but still really looking forwards to this year’s event.
Mark
Steve, you’re really spoiling us!

Excellent! Just what my wife will want for Valentine’s Day. She loves the Shuttleworth Collection.

I love the parashoot popping shot.

Olympus Swan.
Fantastic. Looks as though you can get nice and close. We really must get round to visiting this Vulcan too.

Wasn’t XM575 at East Midlands able to be powered up at some stage before the daft noise abatement ruling came in? Maybe Mr Barber can clarify.
… but what about those people who live in the house directly behind her?
Mark
You’re not wrong! Thank you.
Mark
Does anybody know any more?
Just had a quick look on Google and BBC news, but found nothing more than a host of ‘pub landlord buys…’, etc.
Thanks.

Just finished reading ‘Luftwaffe Secret Projects – Strategic bombers 1935-1945’ and for what it’s worth they state:
Dornier Do Y – An All metal bomber for the Reichswehr
The Do Y medium-range bomber, produced by Dornier’s Swiss subsidiary in Zurich in 1930, was the first all-metal aircraft to be built. its maiden flight took place on 17th October 1931. After extensive tests by the Air Directorate of the Reichswehr, the Do Y was rejected as being unsuitable for its intended role.
Mark
I agree with most of the above 🙂
However, I’d like to see a few V bombers, some Lightnings and some Javelins thrown in for good measure.
Mark
Is there anything else that you can tell us?
If nothing else, I’m pretty interested in hearing about how you acquired it..
Mark
Sorry C-47skytrain, I’ve looked through both ‘The Legacy of the DC-3’ by Henry M.Holden and Kengo Yamamoto’s ‘Douglas DC-3 The Survivors’ to no avail…
Mark
Top stuff, thanks Tony.
