    Quote:
    You may have heard that there was an accident at Waltham today involving Rob Howarth and the Pitts 12. This is to let you know what I know at present, so that rumours do not take hold.

    Rob is in the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford with some back inhuries following an impact with a high rate of descent. As far as we know has some cracked vertebrae but apparently no spinal cord damage detected in an MRI scan. He remained conscious in the aeroplane and since.

    There were witnesses to the accident, but I was not one of them, so I can say nothing yet about any possible causes. Whether the AAIB take further investigative action is still undecided, as far as I know, but the aircraft has been recovered to a hangar. I imagine that more information will become available in due course, but for now I would be grateful if there was not too much speculation.

    I’m sure we all send our sympathies to Rob’s family and wish him a speedy recovery. Thanks.”

    I had the pleasure of viewing this series only last week…

    Do share – was this a new release or a loaned copy?

    The American flying replica was at Oshkosh in 2007:

    You won’t be disappointed – an excellent read, really getting into the drama of recovering and flying the aircraft over significant distances.

    To be fair it was the first front-wheel drive repmobile and the fleets stayed away in droves until the concept proved itself after a few years. Moggy

    The Sierra was never front-wheel drive, it was rear-wheel (or, occasionally, four-wheel) drive. The Mondeo was Ford’s first front-wheel drive repmobile.

    Coincidentally, a friend of mine claims that four flew over him in Dorset this afternoon…… Anybody know what they might have been?

    Assuming no wind-up intended, I’d say he saw these:

    A superb event – something for (almost) everyone, a relaxed atmosphere and even the weather was kind!
