Would it figure in the equation the fact that JR runs the fuel farm at Duxford!

It would not be the first time that fuel was not taken on board an aircraft because it was cheaper elsewhere or back at home base.

Accidents rarely have one cause, usually it’s a chain of events.

The people of Hartford, Cambs. didn’t complain about lowflying or noise until Canberra XH137 crashed into their village on the 3 May 1977 killing 3 children in their bathroom, and it wasn’t even an air display, he was coming in to land just like the Blenheim.

warbirduk sums it up, in the current scene its the pilots who are displaying, not the aircraft.

Digby say’s that the Fury will fly in formation with the P-51C if the Centaurus is built this century!

Talking to one of the guys at Duxford at the weekend SG is bringing over the Hurel Dubois for Legends.

Having read two articles on this subject I think what the lady is raising is a valid point.
Quote, ” Mrs Clark said more stringent checks should be carried out on instructors. There is a system of self assessment for instructors but there should be proper tests to prove an instructor knows all the procedures.”

There have been previous accidents with warbirds where the level of instruction has been called into question. As I understand the situation you do not have to be a QFI to instruct on warbirds but just be somebody who has flown the type.

The main point in the incident was that the fully serviceable emergency braking system was not used. Why?
