Mosquito, Sproose goose, TSR2, EE lightning, imperial C class flying boat.
Venue, Farnborough.
I think I saw her fly at the Farnborough air show many years ago. Didn’t the apprentices have a hand in the restoration to flight status?
I think I read or heard somewhere that RNHF won’t use parts from crashed aircraft on their aircraft. Where would that leave this Sea Fury? If I didn’t imagine it.
Hi Laurence,
This is the text.
‘As a full-scale model of the Spitfire MH434 crowns the Breitling headquarters in Grenchen, (Switzerland) and the company has proudly supported the Jetman project since 2010, this formation flight reflects the luxury watch provider’s true passion for aviation throughout the eras. ‘
And this is the website

Hope this helps.

Hi,
Good old Google says it is a replica of MH434 which of course was part of the Breitling fighters. So it’s a MkIX.
If I remember correctly, doug Arnold made his money from shipping.
Would it have anything to do with the series of engine fitted or has the horsepower got nothing to do with it?
I can’t remember which kit was first, but I do remember spending lots of time building kits on our summer holiday with my mums parents. We used to get a beach hut in Frinton-on-sea in Essex. The local toy shop used to sell Airfix and Frog kits. I still have a few Frog ones in the loft in the ‘one day I’ll build it’ box in the loft. The days were great. Stick some bits together, play on the beach while the glue dried. Stick some more bits on, more beach. All day long.
There was a credit for an actor playing young James in the end titled.
Is PA474 able to fulfil all the requests for displays and fly pasts?
If not, surely a lot more happy people if Just Jane can provide the missed event requests.
I think there would be plenty of time to get 10 or more
freshly aquired Spitfires re-furbished in a nice coat of red paint.
Must be a few RAF current pilots ready to join the Red BBMF.
I may be wrong but I was told it was Peter Teichman.
A colleague of mine flew into Blackbushe at the same time and had a chat with him in the cafe.
Do you think there will be any fuel left to fly anything on anyway?
I’m fairly sure I read or heard something somewhere that this is the reason the Lancaster is landed on it’s main gear and allows the tail to drop when the speed decays and not a near stall three pointer. Due to the rudders being less responsive at landing speeds.
I could of course be wrong!
Hi,
Thanks for the posts.
I managed to find a copy of the book through an on line charity book shop.
Any further information would be very much appreciated.
