Nice looking machine :), whats her history, and future? Is she set to fly at all?
Many thanks 🙂
Very nice 🙂
Now at the risk of upsetting the apple cart, how would indian pilots fit in the cockpit with their turbans on? If they did wear them in the aircraft? How would the ear phones fit?, what about the goggles?
Sorry if they seem daft but its not something i have ever thought about until now
Cheers
🙂
Forgive me for I have sinned- I forgot all about this thread! :O. My humble apologies Chris 🙁 😀
Excellent looking work 🙂
They love each other really 😀
Just what london transport needs….
Just a quick little bit of information
Does anyone know that if you get on your hands and knees in front of the nose wheel, you can see in to the entire fuselarge?When i was there for legends with a group of friends i pointed it out, I had a crowd in the end gathered around wanting a go 😀
How are these? 🙂
Apologies about the parents being in the third one 😀
Also can anyone shine any light on why there are names scratched into her? I hope it was the restorers that have done this and not the numpties thinking its funny! 😡
WOW fantastic photos!!, oh how i was in the the airshow seen back then :(. It must of be marvellous to see those two in the air 🙁
I dont get stressed. I’m the same as ageorge on that one and just think f*ck it, **** happens.
Now when i’m fed up or angry, then its a different kettle of fish
Well if the funding goes well i’m looking forward to it come steaming in low and buzz Duxford, the M11, Royston etc etc. Would be a cracking way to announce the return of a legend 🙂
In aviation terms- the mechanics of it all for me, its good old fashioned machinery. I like all aviation up to the 1980’s 1990’s as its all just too damn technical and electrical for me now. I’m not interested at all in the F22’s, JSF’s, Typhoons and such like.
And what Stewart said 🙂
Give me a a week or two and i’ll have some video footage of PA474 in flight from september last year at Duxford 🙂
Is this good or bad? 😀

You’re Chunk! Lucky you.
Out friday night i’m hoping. If not it will be a night in with a bottle of wine
Saturday i’m off to a gig in the evening. The afternoon may be spent nursing a hangover
Sunday i helping out with karate assesments and hopefully watching the football in the afternoon
Apparantly this beast can turn just as well as a Mk 9, oh boy are things doing to be interesting on line when this and the Tempest appear 😀 😀
