I have always have a lot of time for the guys ‘n gals who flew, armed & serviced these aircraft for real back in the dark days, If it wasn’t for them you may not have the freedom to have a gripe & moan! This is what most of us engineers working on warbirds do it for ( It can’t be for the money!!) I think most BMW or Merc mechanics (sorry, Technicians) earn more, but we enjoy what we do, Don’t we??
Cheers……………………

You guys to much better job than the BMW or merc guys do in my view.

Steve.

Here’s an idea.

Forget about the cost of tying up capital in warbirds, maintenance, hangarage, workforce costs, fuel, rebuilds etc etc.

Just think about insuring the TFC Warbirds.

Do you think the margin from two days of Legends earns them

Ten times the annual insurance costs?

A hundred times the annual insurance bill?

A thousand times?

I’m interested to know your perception.

Why is nobody mentioning the SIX Rapides / Dominies? A unique event at any airshow anywhere in the world.

I loved the show (Saturday)

🙂

Well said moggy.
I had mentioned the Rapides in another thread i thought they were great and the fact that one was a Original from Croydon Airport days was also special to me.I thought Legends was a great show you will never see anything like the Spitfire Tailchase anywhere else(unless Biggin Hill can do similar with the Gathering of Spitfires they plan to have in september).Just think 2 B25s 2 B17’s 2 Corsairs as well as the treats such as the P39 that makes it a special show and £25 is not expensive football costs more for 90 minutes with no certainty you will enjoy the result.
I think we should be proud that we can see such Aircraft as since september 11th 2001 insurance has rocketed,The owners not fly for profit people lets enjoy the fact we got these Aircraft to see and not moan.

Wish could go i got screwed over by my work and can’t get weekend off.

A Zero i always wanted see a real one.

That happened at the end of May, this “sick Spit” was spotted more recently. I heard the Southend casualty wouldn’t be flying until next season.

Im wondering if its the other Mk19 that was spotted with sounding bad if so i can only say hope all is ok and someone give the BBMF some good luck please.

Best news ever just goes to show underdogs can win i never thought Portugal deserved it.Well done Greece party to the Olympics i say.

R.I.P Marlon Brando you were the Godfather in more ways than one i’d say a Legend.

Surely the referee’s decision was proved correct in the countless replays that were shown anyway? The newspaper’s action was indefensible, in my opinion.

Difficult that one because many experts including Referee’s have said it was a goal. The thing with Football is it creats huge debate and i am sure this decision will always do that.The thing i can not understand is how that game led to idiots smashing up my hometown(god knows what thats ment to prove who they think they were venting their anger on?) but thats another story.
