    My understanding is that the airframes to be ‘hung’ will be modified in a way that won’t effect the airframe should it ever be brought down. Original parts will be recorded and stored away. A proffessional job mr thinks

    The only thing that upsets me about hanging aircraft is that they can’t be brought out in to the sunshine once in a while!:(

    Having missed this thread originally(sorry!) im very interested to know more about ‘Kermit Weeks’?

    From what i can make out this man took a airworthy mosquito and a potentially airworthy Lancaster (which appears now to be in bits, some of it here some in the states) and done nothing with them, are the other significant aircraft he has taken which are never to be seen again?

    Cant believe that the Strathalan Lanc was complete until so recently:( Very sad

    Carolyn,

    Can’t really add anything different to whats been said here already.

    A brilliant series and i do hope its gone a long way in keeping your Spitfire in the air. Im sure you will be busy this year with the various D-Day celebrations.

    i do hope the feedback at channel 4 has been positive? i wrote them a letter and i know many people here did too!

    Warm regards to you and your family

    P.S.

    I was given a copy for Christmas,

    The last paragraph on the back cover reads

    “Though marred by a fatal accident away from the airfield, Flying Legends 2003 will go down as one of the best aviation events in a year that marked the centenary of powered flight.”

    Hardly worded respectfully!:(

    Shame on you Red Admiral.

    Sconner nice gesture from yourself, will be buying my next DVD from you. I had planned to buy Legends from you but never got round to it. As a result i made a contribution to RNHF direct. Keep up the good work.

    Good question Daz,

    Ive only started studying BoB in recent years and i just can’t get over how young some of the pilots were??? They are amazing people.

    I don’t think i could ever imagine what it must have felt like. I love reading books (First Light at the moment) and watching the vetrens talk about there experiences.

    Bless em all
