I agree with some of the points made above that sometimes it is necessary to show unpleasant things in news reports,but there are still two things that stand out for me in this case.
As I understand it,the current trend towards the rising cost of insurance has little if anything to do with crashes involving vintage aircraft at airshows in previous years,the impetus behind the changes is coming from the EU and the CAA/airlines. It’s a red tape exercise rather than a practical response to anything in particular,so why choose to show footage of a quite recent fatal accident involving a historic aircraft? The footage doesn’t directly relate to the story.
The second thing that bothers me is Sky’s choice of this particular accident,and the fact that they should’ve learned not to show it again after the ticking off they got from Broadcasting Standards the first time around. Did they pay so little attention to the complaints the first time around that they forgot about them,or did they just decide to show it again anyway? Either way it seems to show some element of disregard for the authorities,which kinda undermines the whole point of thier existence.

If they were a Vamp and Meteor,it sounds very much like the pair,G-HELV and G-LOSM, operated by Air Atlantique out of Coventry (they moved from Bournemouth around 18 months ago).

Superb acheivement,well done to all those involved with the project. Bet she’s glad to be down again after all these years!
Thanks for the updates Peter.

She’s absolutely stunning,thanks for posting Eddie 🙂

The Jaguar he refers to was a glazed nosed version of the Bf110. I’m pretty certain that only a handful were built and that none would’ve seen action in the BofB,but they were regularly included in RAF air-recognition manuals and therefore ocasionally get a mention in Allied combat reports. I’d guess what they might really have been seeing were Do17/215’s. Pic of a Jaguar below..

There were a number of German and German-speaking Wireless Op’s flying with Bomber Command’s spoofing squadrons. They were carried in addition to the usual operator,the idea being that they would scan German night-fighter frequencies and try to disrupt them,either through jamming or by transmitting false instructions. There was an article in Flypast a couple of years back about just such a guy,a Jewish man who’s family had fled Nazi Germany in the mid-30’s.

Lovely stuff,more please. 😀 I’m presuming the French markings on the M.S.406 are temporary? Would be great to see her alongside the Hawk 75 sometime.
