Trouble is , it is a risk assessment value and someone has plugged the wrong factors in. Until the right factors are input you will not get the correct risk level as far as the instigators of the current ruling are concerned. (Someone may have to admit they made a tiny sort of whoopsie in assessing these factors initially which would also be difficult).

Bit like politics really isn’t it?

I would say it is politics, And thats what the problem is.
Sally B was not ment to be victim to this regulation nor was any other warbird, This was more aimed at the Airlines and nobody i would guess remembered there are some Vintage Aircraft who will fit in to the catagories tht were ment for the likes of 737s.

My guess, FWIW, is that they turn the napoleonic blind eye to this EU bureaucratic clap trap. Most of Europe seem to pick and choose which bits of the Brussels outpourings they chose to comply with, and ignore the rest.

That said, I really would like to know how they’ve overcome the problem

When talking to one of Sally B’s ground crew at Duxford on VE day he mentioned that Pink Lady was not effected as the French did not inforce this ruling in the same way the UK Government.
I think we should be less blaming the EU and more thinking what our Government should be doing.

If a Merlin made the same noise as the bloody Crazy Frog, it’d be back in the engine shop, rapido! 😀

I was thinking the same as you.

3/4 September (same weekend as Biggin Hill)

It was a good show last year (if a little windy), and was a week earlier (Bank Holiday weenend). I would think that many of the items will operate out of Biggin this year.

Yes most of the list for Biggin Hill has same items on it too, Its a pity they both the same weekend, But i guess from a organisers point of view its probably a good thing as you can share costs a little, Also maybe you can book more things if they operating from different Airfields like this.

I will stay loyal to Biggin this year as its my home show but i am very glad to see Shorham has a nice lineup and is a lovely place to see a Airshow at too, I much enjoyed my first visit last year.

I was wondering if she would do Biggin, I hope on her way there she can make a pass over the site of the old Croydon Airport and the memorial, Just like the BBMF do every year, It would be nice to know this lady returned to Croydon after all these years.

Well done Comet somebody else who deals in the truth, ignore the rest there either writing it because they think thats the way they should be, or they are JF’s themselves.

I am not sure anyone can call them self a “Pure Britain” if you think of our History is more than lightly everybodies ancestors are from other countries.
To me there is no such thing as a Pure Brit but there is such a thing as pure Bullsh1t.
Picture the scene Everybody who has desendants from other countries goes back to the country there ancestors are from, Could the last person here please turn the light out?.

I would like to thank the people who have said kind words here its nice to see such words,I thought i would be very open with this subject and tell people of the situation Lena and i are in, Love does not choose nationalities or boundaries fear racism and bigotry does.
